1) ISPO Munich 2025 — show wrap & industry signals: sustainability, retail focus, and a coming move of the show
What happened: ISPO’s Munich edition (Nov 30–Dec 2, 2025) closed with organisers and press highlighting a sharper focus on retail, innovation, sustainability and data-driven business models — plus ISPO preparing to relocate (the trade show will move to Amsterdam for 2026). The ISPO Awards and trend programmes were focal points for product visibility.
Why it matters: ISPO remains a major product-launch and buyer-meeting moment for outdoor goods — brands and suppliers (including camping furniture and glamping suppliers) should track ISPO Award winners and retail-focused programmes to spot product/packaging trends, sustainable materials, and go-to-market signals for 2026 buying cycles.

2) Major RV retail consolidation — Campers Inn RV completed acquisition of Lazydays (late Nov 2025)
What happened: Campers Inn RV completed the multistage asset acquisition of Lazydays RV (site-by-site closings in mid–late November), expanding Campers Inn’s nationwide footprint significantly. Coverage and dealer press confirm the closings.
Why it matters: Consolidation among large RV dealers changes distribution and service networks for RV-specific accessories, replacement parts and aftermarket camping goods. Suppliers that sell RV accessories, awnings, RV-grade seating/cupholders, or provide B2B programs should re-evaluate dealer relationships, sales channels and warranty/service commitments in light of larger dealer groups and shifting inventory strategies.

3) New market research: “Camping & Caravanning” market forecasts published (mid-Nov)
What happened: Research outlets published updated global market forecasts (e.g., a Camping & Caravanning market report released Nov 17, 2025), highlighting growth opportunities driven by digital booking, sustainability, and product innovation (tech-enabled camping, eco-materials, hybrid leisure offerings).
Why it matters: The forecast supports continued product development investment (sustainable fabrics, lightweight frames, glamping interiors) and signals opportunities for B2B sellers to position higher-margin, differentiated SKUs (glamping furnishings, premium camping chairs) to capture market segments that value comfort and eco-credentials.
