Covid-19 Impact:

The pandemic of COVID-19 in APAC in 2020 had a significant negative consequence in the business of a number of countries. Due to the dangers of COVID-19, most governments in the region implemented a lockdown. To prevent the infection from spreading, gyms and outdoor activities around the region were closed. However, in the first half of 2021, a restriction on travelling in public places was abolished, with essential sanitization laws and social distancing standards in place, thanks to progressive vaccination programs in many nations around the area. As a result of these factors, the region's rock climbing equipment market is expected to grow over the forecast period.

 

Rock Climbing Equipment Market Dynamics:

Among teenagers and young people, rock climbing is a popular activity because it helps them improve their health and fitness by strengthening muscles, decreasing stress, improving flexibility, developing mental strength and preventing chronic diseases. Producers of rock climbing equipment are expected to find considerable opportunities in regions or nations with a rising trend of young people, as well as areas where the bulk of the population is relatively young. During the forecast period, this is expected to support manufacturers in consolidating their market share and revenue.

 

Rock climbing uses almost the same level of energy as running at an 8 to 11 minute per mile speed, which contributes in the removal of undesirable fat from the body. As a result, rock climbing is appealing as a fitness exercise and is expected to grow over time, especially among young adults and teenagers. Furthermore, an increased awareness of the health benefits associated with rock climbing is projected to drive the rock climbing equipment market.

 

One of the significant trends in the rock-climbing equipment market is the rise of customer reviews online and easy internet connection. The tourism sector has benefited from technological advancements such as internet access and smartphones. These advancements are intended to improve the overall travel process by making it easier to plan, book, and enjoy a vacation. In terms of testimonials, the web enables consumers to access to a plethora of useful information and resources. Travelers might feel more at ease about their route and destination thanks to these amenities. Not only does the internet allow direct access to destination photographs, videos, and weather reports, but it also provides direct access to maps and guides.

 

The potential demand for rock climbing as a career/profession among young consumers, as well as the addition of rock climbing as an official sport in the Olympics two years ago, are likely to drive the rock-climbing equipment market share throughout the forecast period.

 

Rock climbing is a popular competitive sport and recreational activity that follows a set of standards to prevent accidents and injury. However, accidents due to  equipment failure are expected to have a substantial impact on the rock climbing equipment market globally over the forecast period. During the forecast period, safety concerns about equipment failure may hinder the growth of the rock climbing equipment market. To avoid accidents and injuries, rock climbing follows a number of rules. Accidents caused by equipment failure, on the other hand, have been a major obstacle for climbers in recent years.

 

The most typical equipment failures are uncomfortable shoes and harnesses, rope or even anchor failures, and others. To improve their skills and tactics, most first-time hikers, amateurs, and intermediates need instruction from professional and experienced teachers and trainers. In addition, there are less experienced and professional teachers or trainers than there are amateurs, intermediates and first timers. As a result, such factors are projected to stifle market expansion over the forecast period.

 

Market Regulations:

In 1960, the UIAA or The International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation began developing safety guidelines by testing ropes. Since then, it has produced standards for over twenty different types of safety gear, including as helmets, harnesses, and crampons.

 

For standard harmonization, the UIAA interacts with CEN (Commission Europeenne de Normalisation or European Standards Committee), the European Committee for Standardization. In some circumstances, the UIAA requests further tests, resulting in a standard that is more stringent than the CEN. As a result, the UIAA standards may vary slightly from those of the CEN.

 

The UIAA Safety Commission reviews and updates the UIAA Safety Standards on a regular basis to ensure that they continue to meet the fluctuating nature and requirements of the market and the climbing and mountaineering world. Mountaineering and climbing incidents are continually reviewed by the Commission to see if the standards are high enough. Standards are not only changed, but also newly introduced on a regular basis.

 

In India, there is a sport management system. The IMF (Indian Mountaineering Foundation) represents India in the IFSC and oversees sport climbing activities in the nation strictly following the IFSC guidelines. Through different Zonal Committees, the IMF National Sport Climbing Committee develops, coordinates, and implements sport climbing events and activities around the country.

 

Rock Climbing Equipment Market Segment Analysis:

The rock climbing equipment market is divided into harness, carabiner, wearable gear, passive protection and belay segments based on product type. Wearable gear is likely to dominate as the fastest-growing market during the forecasted timeframe, despite seeing a fall recently due to the pandemic. Wearable gears like rock climbers' helmets and shoes are frequently purchased since they protect the climbers.
