Analysts’ Viewpoint
Surge in concern among the population about health and wellness is one of the key factors fueling the North America climbing gym market size. The presence of a significant number of players operating in the market is further fueling the growth of North America adventure sports facilities.
The North America climbing gym market is anticipated to prosper in the next few years, ascribed to the advantages associated with climbing, which include mental benefits, full body workout, and cardiorespiratory fitness.
The growth in popularity of recreational activities including climbing, and high instances of health issues such as obesity is further expected to offer North America climbing gym market opportunities during the forecast period. Expansion of geographic presence and partnerships are the key strategies of players in the market.
Climbing is the activity of using the hands, feet, and other body parts to move up a steep topographical object - which can be anything from little rocks to the tallest mountains. A gym with an artificial wall and grips for the hands and feet used for climbing is called a climbing gym.
The layout and equipment of the walls can be altered to accommodate various climbing techniques. Climbing gyms offer personal safety to end-users by giving top-notch equipment and providing expert guidance.
There are climbing gyms that feature fast climbing walls and those that have auto belays, which are motors that enable end-users to climb without the help of a belayer. Unlike traditional gyms, climbing gyms emphasize a full-body workout that engages every muscle in the body, promoting balanced development.
The many advantages associated with climbing gyms include full body workout, mental workout, and stress relief. Enhancing flexibility, balance, and coordination is possible by climbing, which calls for stretching, body awareness, and balance.
Recreational activities provide a number of advantages that enhance overall health, making them essential to sustaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. End-users are drawn to climbing because of the increased appeal of recreational activities due to their health benefits.
The unique and comprehensive fitness experience offered by climbing gyms and growing popularity of recreational activities is expected to fuel the North America climbing gym market share during the forecast period.
Climbing is gaining popularity in North American countries such as the US, and Canada, due to the growing number of outdoor and indoor climbing championships. For instance, the IFSC Climbing World Championships is a world championship event held once in every two years.
The event is held in three disciplines of climbing competition: competition lead climbing, competition bouldering, and competition speed climbing.
The North American Cup Series launched in 2021 is another climbing competition event organized by USA Climbing, and Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) that features the three individual disciplines of climbing: bouldering, lead, and speed. Participation in outdoor recreation increased by 2.3% in 2022 to 168.1 million people, representing 55% of the U.S. population.
Thus, the growing popularity of recreational activities and climbing events is bolstering the North America climbing gym market value.
Increasing number of people are realizing the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle, with sufficient relaxation, exercise, sleep, and nutrition, and with an emphasis on nurturing the body, mind, and soul through good lifestyle choices.
Notably, research indicates that younger generations place a higher priority on aspects such as mental and physical well-being, as well as good food and exercise, than previous generations.
The COVID-19 pandemic also had a major impact on the development of proactive approaches to nutrition and well-being as well as a global movement in consumer behavior toward preventative health measures. Furthermore, individuals are paying more attention to fitness and leading healthy lifestyles because obesity is common in North American nations, with prevalence of obesity at over 36% in the US.
Individuals with obesity are practicing rock climbing at various types of North America climbing gyms such as indoor and outdoor climbing gyms. All these factors are projected to offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
The North America climbing gym market segmentation based on type includes indoor climbing and outdoor climbing. The indoor climbing segment held the largest share in the year 2022 due to their safety and accessibility. Indoor climbing is frequently seen as safer particularly for beginners than outdoor climbing due to the regulated environment, trained personnel, and padded surfaces.
Indoor climbing facilities offer a stable and predictable setting for practice and pleasure of climbing throughout the year, regardless of the weather. Climbers can improve their skills by using indoor climbing as a training ground for outdoor climbing, which is mainly beneficial for people who live far away from natural rock climbing structures.
Indoor bouldering gyms in North America are an appealing option for people seeking a reliable, social, and safe climbing experience, which is expected to drive the North America climbing gym industry during the forecast period.
As per the latest North America climbing gym market forecast, the U.S. held the largest share in 2022, ascribed to the surge in participation in indoor and outdoor climbing. On an average, 50 new climbing gyms are opening in the U.S. on a yearly basis. The gradual increase in smaller, bouldering-focused gym construction that has been witnessed in the U.S. climbing gym industry since the beginning of the 2010s, is one of the major North America climbing gym market trends.
The last 10 years in particular, has seen a noticeable increase in the number of new bouldering gym openings relative to the number of new roped climbing gyms and mixed climbing gyms (i.e., gyms that provide both boulders and ropes).
Bouldering gyms accounted for 50% of all new climbing gyms that opened in the U.S. between 2013 and 2022, which is a record high. A significant number of players, including Brooklyn Boulders, and Climb So iLL, operate in the country, owing to the large number of customers who are more inclined to lead a healthy and fit lifestyle.
