Hiking & Outdoor Equipment Stores in the US

Through 2023 consumers expressed interest in increasing the time they spent outdoors. As per capita disposable income increased, consumers were set to chase their want of becoming more “outdoorsy.” The COVID-19 pandemic aided in this shifting of where consumers want to spend their free time. Faced with lockdowns and risk of being indoors, people chose to spend their time outdoors. This drove an increase in total recreation expenditure and consequently, boosted spending on hiking and outdoor equipment.
