China is the world’s largest manufacturer of industrial products and also a major producer of outdoor camping inflatable tents. Currently, there are as many as 113000 enterprises related to outdoor camping inflatable tents, including raw material production factories, accessory production factories, and campsite operation service enterprises. Therefore, China is also an important destination for global outdoor camping inflatable tent buyers. We will objectively and rationally introduce the basic situation of inflatable camping tents in China to global outdoor camping buyers from three aspects:
Production capacity: As of the end of October 2025, China has produced 32 million sets of outdoor camping inflatable tents this year, accounting for over 25% of the global production of similar products.
Export capacity: According to customs data in 2024, the export proportion of outdoor camping inflatable tents produced in China has exceeded 63%, with an export quantity of about 21 million pieces (sets), accounting for 28% of similar products worldwide.
1) Northern Production Zone: Hebei Province, Tianjin City
This area is the earliest region in China to produce outdoor camping inflatable tents, with a history of nearly 40 years. In the early days, it mainly produced disaster relief inflatable tents,
firefighting inflatable tents, and medical inflatable tents. In the past 20 years, there has been a shift towards the production of inflatable tents for civilian outdoor camping. Representative brands include the Coody series inflatable tents related to Rayme outdoor and the House series inflatable tents. The outdoor camping inflatable tents in this area account for about 30% of similar products in China.
2) Southern Production Zone: Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province
This area is a newly developed outdoor camping inflatable tent industry zone in the past 15 years. The development of the industry in this area is mainly driven by the rapid rise of outdoor camping in China and the global market demand. The world’s largest outdoor camping tent production factory is located in this area. The production of outdoor camping inflatable tents in this area accounts for about 23% of similar products in China.
3) Central production areas: Henan Province, Anhui Province
This area is the outdoor camping inflatable tent industry zone that has developed in the past five years. Due to the high land and labor costs in regions such as Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, and Tianjin City in China, Henan Province has the largest number of industrial workers, while Anhui Province has relatively lagging economic development and lower human resource costs. As a result, a large amount of new production capacity for outdoor camping inflatable tents has been transferred to this area. The production of outdoor camping inflatable tents in this region accounts for about 16% of similar products in China, and it is also the region with the fastest development of outdoor camping inflatable tent production capacity.
