The integration of progressive technologies, such as collision mitigation systems and driver assistance, into motorhomes will improve pedestrian and passenger safety, surging the market revenue.
 

One of the major factors hampering the recreational vehicle market demand is the high initial purchase cost. High-quality & innovative materials, which are used for weight reduction in recreational vehicles, coupled with the customization of exterior & interior features will contribute subsequently to the overall vehicle cost. Motorhomes also incur high insurance costs and other insurance & road tax-related expenditures, increasing the market price of leisure vehicles. Frequent replacement and maintenance of refilling gas and batteries in power generators fetch heavy expenses, resulting in high operating costs that will challenge the industry growth.
 

The global market witnessed a temporary slowdown during the first two quarters of 2020 owing to the rising spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Europe motorhome RVs segment dominated more than 85% of the recreational vehicle market share in 2020. A surge in the demand for motorhome recreational vehicles can be attributed to floor space and superior luxury offered by these vehicles. Motorhomes provide progressive features and comprise foldable furniture that can be used as per user requirements. The ability of motorhomes to be driven without a carrier is supporting their rising industry demand.
 

The gasoline segment observes a high growth rate impelled by its higher RPM advantages in passenger vehicles. Gasoline is more combustible than diesel, thereby enhancing the engine power significantly. Companies are focusing on designing recreational vehicles that operate at a higher RPM without the need for a wide space in petrol engines. This will result in smaller engine components and smaller combustion chambers, offering improved fuel efficiency that will augment the industry expansion.
