They are also environmentally friendly compared to gas-powered generators and are much quieter in operation. With the growth of outdoor activities such as camping, tailgating, and outdoor events, people are looking for reliable and convenient power sources to power their devices and appliances. Portable power stations offer a convenient and easy-to-use solution to this problem. Additionally, the growth of renewable power sources, advancements in battery technology, etc. are a few more factors behind the growth of the portable power stations market.

The growing travel and tourism sector plays a pivotal role in propelling the expansion of the portable power station market.

Portable power stations are an essential tool for the travel and tourism industry as they provide a convenient and reliable source of power for travellers who want to stay connected and comfortable while on the go. Portable power stations are an eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered generators, making them an excellent choice for eco-tourism as they allow travellers to enjoy nature while minimizing their impact on the environment. Thus, the growing travel and tourism industry is likely to boost the growth of the portable power station market. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the travel and tourism industry has witnessed an increase in its contribution to the global GDP, rising by US$ 1 trillion in 2021 also the travel and tourism industry's contribution to the global GDP also increased to 6.1% for the same year. Additionally, the data shows that in 2021, there was a 28% increase in travel and tourism GDP change in Europe and 23.5% in Africa. The Asia Pacific region and the Middle East recorded a 16.0% and 15.9% increase, respectively, in 2021. Therefore, the ongoing expansion of the travel and tourism industry is likely to boost demand for portable power stations, resulting in promising growth for the global portable power stations market.

The portable power stations market exhibits the highest growth potential in the North American region due to increased camping activities in the region.

Portable power stations are highly useful in camping as they provide a convenient and reliable source of power for a variety of camping equipment, including lights, heaters, fans, portable stoves, and charging electronic devices and eliminate the need for a noisy and polluting generator, making them an eco-friendly alternative. They are compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport and store, and they typically offer multiple charging options, including solar panels, car adapters, and wall outlets, ensuring that campers can always keep their devices charged even in remote locations. Thus, the growing trend of camping activities in this region will boost the growth of the portable power stations market. For instance, according to the KOA North American Camping Report, the number of active campers went up from 82,291,200 in 2020 to 93,819,400 in 2022. The same source also indicates that the overall camping incidence increased from 67% in 2020 to 71% in 2021 in the United States of America. During 2021, approximately 57 million households went on at least one camping trip, which represents a notable increase from the 48.2 million households that did so in 2020 and the 42 million households in 2019. This report also indicates that the percentage of new camper households increased from 4% in 2019 to 16% in 2021. KOA data also indicates that the number of campers in Canada in 2021 was recorded at around 5 million. Therefore, the increasing popularity of camping in North America is a key factor contributing to the potential growth of the portable power stations market in the region.
