MARKET RESTRAINTS

Fluctuating Cost of Raw Material and Rising Availability of Counterfeit Products to Hinder Market Expansion

The fluctuating cost of various raw materials, such as down & synthetic insulation, lining materials, shell fabrics, and zippers, due to geopolitical issues, supply chain disruptions, and trade restrictions, hamper market growth. Volatility in prices can impact production costs and create challenges for companies to maintain their profit margins. Moreover, the rising availability of counterfeit products by local players across countries hampers the global camping sleeping bags market share. These products are made by using substandard materials that usually fail to meet safety and insulation standards, affecting consumer trust and damaging the brand reputation of major players. Additionally, counterfeit products are available at a low cost compared to genuine products, thus attracting budget-conscious consumers.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

The popularity of sustainable camping sleeping bags is growing significantly owing to the rising environmental awareness among individuals. Sustainable products that are made by using eco-friendly and recycled materials are gaining popularity among eco-conscious consumers. Moreover, environmentally conscious consumers typically prefer products with eco-certifications and brands that are committed to sustainability as a part of their corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, several key market players are focusing on launching sustainable products and offering sustainability transparency so that consumers can make informed purchase decisions. For instance,

The mummy sleeping bag segment is expected to grow significantly throughout the forecast period, owing to the growing popularity of solo traveling among individuals, coupled with rising participation in outdoor recreational activities, such as camping & hiking.
