Over the past decade, the turnover of camping grounds, recreational vehicle parks, and trailer parks in Germany has demonstrated a consistent upward trend, rising from 405.4 million Euros in 2013 to 866.1 million Euros in 2023. Notably, the sector experienced substantial annual growth rates in 2014 (10.61%), 2015 (16.55%), and 2018 (19.19%). However, the years 2020 and 2021 saw slower growth rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic's impact. Recent trends highlight a moderate but steady increase with a 4.05% year-on-year growth rate recorded in 2023 and a 3.07% CAGR over the last five years. Forecasts suggest continued growth, expecting turnover to reach 1030.0 million Euros by 2028, with a 2.78% forecasted CAGR and a 14.72% forecasted growth rate over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Impacts of increased domestic tourism, potentially driven by environmental concerns and economic factors.
- Advancements in facility improvements and service offerings at campsites and RV parks.
- Technological innovations such as smart campsite management systems.
- Recurrence of external challenges such as economic downturns or shifts in consumer preferences.
