ROOFTOP TENT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global rooftop tent market size was valued at approximately USD 0.25 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 0.49 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 7.76% from 2025 to 2033.

A rooftop tent is an add-on mounted on top of a four-wheel drive vehicle. In order to erect the rooftop tent above, a flat, solid surface is used, such as a bed or the roof of a car. People can sleep inside the tent as well. The sort of vehicle you are installing the rooftop tent on has a direct bearing on the amount of space inside. Depending on the end customers' requirements, there are various rooftop tent variations. Users are kept safe by the elevated rooftop tent, especially in an area with active wildlife. Italy is where these rooftop tents are most prevalent.

Since it is not anchored to the ground directly, the market for rooftop tent is expanding due to its safety. It eliminates the difficulty of sleeping in a tent erected on rocky terrain or uneven ground since it is mounted on top of the truck and offers a flat platform to lie on. As the substantial rooftop tent is more robust and offers significantly greater safety, one may escape poor weather. The market for rooftop tent has continued to rise as a result of an increase in outdoor activities following the pandemic.

COVID-19 Impact: Lockdown Rules Slowed Down Product Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with rooftop tent market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 outbreak had negative repercussions on markets throughout the world. Worldwide lockdowns have been in place since 2020 began as a result of the COVID-19 virus's proliferation, forcing people to spend as much time indoors as possible. Public locations and businesses were forced to cease operations as a result of the lockdown, which caused significant losses across several industries. The market for rooftop tent suffered a significant loss in revenue during the pandemic, similar to other suffering markets did. The prohibition on leaving the house curtailed adventurous people's activities, which reduced demand for the goods. This led to a decline in sales during the pandemic in the rooftop tent industry. The slow market expansion was partly due to a lack of raw materials and labor in the sectors.

Latest Trends

Addition Of Hard Tops And Awnings To Facilitate Market Growth

A few rooftop tents incorporate awnings and hard tops to increase customers' comfort level while they are inside the tent. When staying in one of these tents during the day, the addition of an awning is especially useful due to the direct sunshine coming from the windows might make it difficult to unwind. The additional awning stretches to provide shade for those beneath it on the ground and is also highly advantageous to the market.

Driving Factors

Maximum Comfort Level Of Rooftop Tents Proliferates Market Value

Mobility Of Rooftop Tents Augments Market Development 

The rooftop-tent market's expansion has been significantly fuelled by how simple it is to set up these tents anywhere.

Restraining Factors

High Cost Of Tent Hinders Product Demand 

The rooftop-tents are substantially more expensive than the ground-level tents since they offer consumers more comfort. The cost of the rooftop-tents rises substantially when more features are added to them after the initial versions, which are already pricey. Fewer people are adopting rooftop-tents due to the expensive expense, preventing the rooftop tent market growth.
