Recent Studies Show a Promising Future

According to the Outdoor Industry Association® (OIA):

The OIA's 2009 Outdoor Recreation Participation Report states that:

"In 2008 participation in many core nature-based outdoor activities increased. Activities like backpacking, mountain biking and trail running showed double-digit increases in participation in 2008, and hiking and camping grew by 9 percent and 7 percent respectively."

"The 'gateway' activities—fishing, bicycling, running/jogging/trail running, camping and hiking— are popular, accessible and often lead to participation in other outdoor activities."

In other recent studies from OIA, the 2009 end-year edition of their Outdoor Topline Report produced by Leisure Trends Group states that:

"Retail sales for all core outdoor stores combined (chain, internet, specialty) totaled a whopping $5,075,143,991."

"Sales totals were up 2 percent from those in 2007."
