Report Overview:

A camping inflatable mattress is a sleep product specifically designed for outdoor leisure activities, primarily used in camping, hiking, and other nature-related activities. Unlike traditional household inflatable mattresses, camping mattresses are known for their portability, lightweight materials, compact storage size, and easy inflation and deflation. They are designed to provide comfort, insulate against ground cold, and offer durability in harsh environments. These products often feature waterproof or abrasion-resistant surfaces, multi-valve systems for quick setup, and compatibility with both manual and electric pumps. From a functional perspective, camping mattresses strike a balance between outdoor practicality and sleep comfort, offering consumers convenience, mobility, and rest quality in temporary outdoor living environments.

By 2024, the global camping inflatable mattress market is expected to reach approximately $806 million. Between 2024 and 2033, the market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 5.83%. Factors driving market growth include the expansion of outdoor leisure activities worldwide, increasing disposable income encouraging more people to participate in recreational travel, and the growth of health and wellness tourism trends. Steady increases in outdoor activity participation and the expansion of the middle class have led to a significant rise in family users, boosting demand for convenient and comfortable equipment. Additionally, the diversification of application scenarios—ranging from camping to car camping, music festivals, homestays, and emergency reserves—has broadened the demand base and reduced seasonal fluctuations. Furthermore, product innovations such as self-inflating mechanisms, lighter composite fabrics, and eco-friendly materials are accelerating product adoption. The deep penetration of digital retail platforms and e-commerce in the outdoor goods sector has also improved product accessibility, expanding the consumer base.

While the global camping mattress market is growing rapidly, it also faces several structural and external risks. From a macro perspective, market development is constrained by uneven infrastructure and insufficient policy regulations, particularly in emerging markets, where a lack of standardized campsites and safety norms limits the full release of potential demand. Meanwhile, a lack of consumer knowledge and safety awareness may lead to misuse or poor experiences, affecting brand trust and B2B cooperation. The rise of digitalization and AI presents new growth opportunities, but market differentiation and compliance challenges create uncertainties in data-driven and marketing strategies. Seasonal and macroeconomic fluctuations further heighten demand and supply chain instability. Additionally, product homogeneity and channel concentration reliance, low-price competition, and platform rule changes could erode profits and limit flexibility.

By type, camping inflatable mattresses can be divided into single and double mattresses. Single mattresses dominate the global market, but double mattresses are growing at a much faster rate (CAGR of 7.44% from 2025-2033, compared to 5.51% for singles). At the same time, single mattresses still hold the majority of the market share (about 85% in 2024), primarily due to their portability, adaptability, and the large entry-level user group. Double mattresses benefit from the growth of family camping, couple travel, and diverse needs in car camping/RVs, gradually increasing their market share.

By application, camping inflatable mattresses are classified into backpacking, car camping, backyard camping, and others. Currently, backpacking remains the largest application field for camping mattresses, accounting for about 59% of the market share in 2024. This is largely driven by the popularity of hiking and lightweight camping, with their portability and adaptability meeting the needs of core outdoor enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the demand for comfort and larger mattresses from family and weekend vacation users, as well as the rapid growth of RVs, car camping, and self-driving travel, means car camping will experience the fastest growth (CAGR of 8.30% from 2025-2033).

From a regional perspective, the global camping mattress market shows significant regional differences. Europe and North America remain the largest markets, accounting for approximately 39% and 33% of the market share in 2024, respectively, driven by mature outdoor cultures, high consumer spending power, and well-developed infrastructure. The Asia-Pacific region, though smaller (about 20% market share), is rapidly growing due to the expansion of the middle class, the adoption of a more leisurely vacation lifestyle, and increased participation in outdoor leisure activities. It has the highest growth rate (CAGR of approximately 9.26% from 2024-2033). The markets in South America and the Middle East and Africa are smaller but show steady growth.

Currently, the global market is relatively fragmented, with the top 30 brands holding only about 41% of the market share, while the remaining "other" brands account for as much as 58%-60%. The market for camping inflatable mattresses in the midstream sector is not highly concentrated, and it remains a fragmented market globally, particularly in mid-to-low-end and emerging markets, where small brands and local companies dominate. Market competition mainly revolves around product differentiation, channel positioning, and pricing strategies rather than the scale advantage of a single company. Major brands in the market include Cascade Designs, Inc., Oase Outdoors, Coleman, Intex Recreation Corp, Gathr Outdoors Company, Kampa, Sea to Summit, Eurohike, NEMO Equipment, Inc., Big Agnes, AMG Group, Sierra Designs, Sound Asleep Products, Regatta, Beijing Kangerjian Outdoor Travel Products Co., Exxel Outdoors, LLC, Stansport, Snowpeak, ALPS Mountaineering, VAUDE Sport GmbH, Gear Doctors, REI Co-op, JD Sport, Lidl Stiftung & Co. KG, Aldi, Decathlon, Mogo Outdoor Products Co., Zhejiang Nuoke Sports Products Co., Zhejiang Original Brand Management Co., and Adventurer (Shaoxing Shangyu Camper Outdoor Products Co.).

Current Development Status

Developed countries have a deep and established market for outdoor sports equipment. Developed regions like Europe and the United States have a long history of development and a relatively mature outdoor culture. Thanks to factors such as climate, topography, and lifestyle, Europe and the United States boast a vast outdoor sports market. Furthermore, their developed economies have created significant market demand for outdoor sports clothing, equipment, and supplies. In mature markets like Europe and the United States, camping has evolved from a traditional backpacker lifestyle to a mainstream choice for family and leisure travel, driving demand for high-quality camping equipment. The booming popularity of activities like outdoor camping has driven the growth of the camping air mattress market, which has become a relatively small but rapidly growing segment within the global outdoor products market.

In terms of product technology, the materials and designs of air mattresses are constantly evolving. High-end brands are using TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) instead of traditional PVC for improved durability and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, the use of built-in air pumps, intelligent inflation systems, and self-inflation technology enhances ease of use. Furthermore, an increasing number of products are featuring moisture-resistant, antibacterial, and UV-resistant features to adapt to the changing outdoor environment. In terms of consumer behavior, the younger generation (particularly Generation Z and Millennials) has become the primary source of purchasing power. They prioritize product value, a brand's environmental credentials, and user reviews on social media. E-commerce platforms and social media have become primary sales and promotion channels, with livestreaming and user-generated content (UGC) playing an increasingly important role in influencing purchasing decisions.

At the same time, with the increasing sophistication of e-commerce, the e-commerce market for outdoor sporting goods in Europe and the United States is rapidly expanding. According to Statista, the global e-commerce market for outdoor goods has exceeded $90 billion, while the global outdoor goods market has exceeded $220 billion.

Industry Chain Analysis

Key Raw Material: TPU

TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane, is a new type of organic polymer synthetic material. Its exceptional properties include excellent wear and ozone resistance, high hardness, high strength, good elasticity, low-temperature resistance, and excellent oil, chemical, and environmental resistance. It is internationally recognized as a new polymer material. TPU is widely used in fabrics and linings for footwear, apparel, pharmaceuticals, defense products, sporting goods, and industrial products. Currently, TPU is replacing materials such as PVC and EVA in footwear and film applications, becoming the preferred choice in the high-end market. It meets the requirements of durability, environmental friendliness, and lightweight construction, and is also compatible with intelligent inflation systems.

Currently, Chinese companies are expanding production on a large scale, particularly in East and South China. By 2024, China's annual TPU production capacity will approach 1.5 million tons, rapidly increasing market supply. Overcapacity and fierce competition are driving prices down. At the same time, structural opportunities exist in the market: there is an oversupply of mid- and low-end products, while high-end applications still have potential. However, overall market competition is increasing. Currently, the leading suppliers in the market include BASF, Lubrizol, Covestro, Huntsman, Wanhua Chemical, and Meirui New Materials.

Key Trends and Drivers

Larger Participant Base

As global population demand and disposable income increase, consumers' ability to spend on leisure and entertainment has enhanced, driving the sustained rise in outdoor activity participation. The expanding middle class, especially in the Asia-Pacific and Latin American markets, has enabled more families to afford high-quality camping equipment, leading to a growth in demand for leisure products like camping mattresses.

The strongest driving force in the market is the steady increase in outdoor sports participation. In the United States alone, the number of participants in outdoor recreational activities reached a record 175.8 million in 2023 (57.3% of the U.S. population aged 6 and above), while the number of participants in outdoor sports in China has exceeded 400 million. Entry-level activities such as camping have attracted millions of new participants—often preferring more convenient and comfortable equipment, like inflatable mattresses, over traditional thin mats. This has expanded the target audience for outdoor sports from core enthusiasts to global families and general users.

New Outdoor Lifestyle and the "Sleep Economy"

Camping has evolved from "sleeping outdoors" to "lightweight vacations," shifting the core experience from "can you sleep" to "are you sleeping well." This has made comfort related to sleep (such as support, thermal comfort, noise, and skin feel) one of the primary factors influencing consumer decisions, directly increasing the unit price and repurchase intention for air mattresses. According to Alibaba's 2024 "Alimama Business Guide" study, the average unit price for sleep-related products in outdoor and travel scenarios has reached USD 150 to 200.

At the same time, urban young families, boutique camping, and family-oriented socializing have brought a "home-like" aesthetic and comfort expectations to outdoor products, with users seeking outdoor mattresses that feel as close as possible to their home beds. This has opened the space for high-spec products, such as thicker mats, high elasticity, and zoned support.

This signifies that the "sleep economy" concept is spilling over into outdoor categories: from sleep assistance and posture correction to disturbance resistance, pushing manufacturers to adopt home mattress technologies and terminologies (such as zoned support and memory materials) for camping mattresses, forming cross-category technical reuse and brand premium.

Diversified Scenarios Drive "Total Demand"

Camping inflatable mattresses are no longer limited to traditional camping. New "second curves" in markets like car camping/RVs, music festivals, outdoor events, temporary guest beds, homestays and campsite linens, and emergency/disaster preparedness have expanded, raising the demand base and orders for camping mattresses year-round and reducing seasonal fluctuations.

The global shift in travel styles (such as weekend micro-vacations and expanded self-driving travel distances) has made large inflatable mattresses, which are easy to carry and deploy, an essential configuration for many travelers. Meanwhile, B2B/B2G scenarios (such as bulk campsite purchases, rental platforms, event organizers, cultural and tourism projects, and emergency reserves) provide scaling channels for mid-to-high-end and standardized models, reducing risks associated with relying solely on retail.

Materials, Structure, and Functional Innovations

On one hand, materials have evolved from PVC to TPU and composite fabrics, providing higher air tightness, better low-temperature and hydrolysis resistance, and a lower odor experience. Velvet surface and elastic textile materials reduce skin stickiness and noise, significantly improving issues like body-turn noise and "cold touch" discomfort.

On the other hand, more practical features are making camping mattresses a convenient option. Features like quiet operation, stable pressure throughout the night, and fast inflation/deflation within minutes, ergonomic principles in structural design, and systems compatible with car-powered ecosystems are all contributing to a rise in cost-performance ratio and driving product demand. Additionally, smart features such as embedded sensors to monitor air pressure, sleep posture, or environmental temperature, as well as voice control, are becoming key attractions for consumers.

Multi-channel Digital Marketing and Attention-Grabbing

Cross-border e-commerce and short video/community content have moved "unboxing—hands-on—real-life testing—comparative reviews" to the decision-making stage, drastically reducing user trial and error costs. Real-life experience videos are more persuasive than traditional text-based content, especially for "hidden" factors like odor, noise, rebound, and deflation speed.

Platform algorithms prioritize "pain-point-solving" content, allowing products focused on solving issues like "no odor, quiet operation, no deflation overnight, and no cold touch on the ground" to gain quick popularity. Small and medium-sized brands can gain traffic and orders with single-point innovations, driving frequent micro-innovations in the industry.

Reviews and return/exchange data have become "external R&D" for rapid product iteration: companies can update versions weekly, make small adjustments monthly, and use a flexible supply chain to sustain a "small-step, fast-run" pace for new products, forming a positive feedback loop of "traffic—word-of-mouth—conversion."

B2B channels such as campsites, homestays, and RV rentals lower conversion thresholds by promoting products through "experience-driven marketing": users who sleep on a comfortable mattress are more likely to buy the same product on-site or online, creating a two-way flow of traffic between B2B and B2C.

Collaborative product bundles (e.g., outdoor tents, sleeping bags, car beds, and insulation gear) are being developed to enhance sales of complete solutions, boosting average order value and repeat purchases. On e-commerce platforms, guided selections based on "body type × mattress width × temperature zone × vehicle model" reduce cognitive load for consumers.

Brand collaborations (such as with campsite IPs, automotive companies, and music festival IPs) have higher dissemination efficiency on content platforms, turning "visible sleep experiences" into social currency and shortening the education cycle for new products.

Category Economy Moves Toward the High-End Market

Global inflatable mattress revenues are growing at mid-to-high single-digit rates, and camping-specific products are showing similar growth trends. High-end features (such as integrated pumps, smart pressure control, double-height comfort, and puncture-resistant fabrics) are pushing up the average selling price. In addition to consumer retail, B2B demand from luxury camping operators, RV parks, experiential travel, festivals, disaster relief/non-governmental organization supplies, and short-term rentals is creating channels for higher sales and higher repurchase rates.
