Global Avalanche Airbags Market Anticipated to Create Opportunities With Increasing Interest in Adventure Sports - QYR Consulting

LOS ANGELES, June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Avalanche airbags are an important piece of safety equipment or gear used in mountaineering, skiing, hiking, freeriding, ski-jumping, ski-touring, and similar sporting activities. They are considered to be one of the must-have gears for these activities and for backcountry travelers, next to probes, shovels, and beacons. Manufacturers are launching new products with advanced features to achieve robust growth in the global avalanche airbags market. Swiss winter equipment and sportswear producer, Scott Sports recently came out with a new supercapacitor-powered avalanche airbag that is more travel-capable and travel-friendly than other types of airbags.

However, improper assembling of avalanche airbags or manufacturing defects could hamper the demand in the global market. In May 2019, Swiss multinational mountaineering and trekking company, Mammut Sports Group asked customers who bought its Generation 3.0 airbags featuring neon orange deployment handles to check if they are assembled correctly. Customers were cautioned about a potential assembly fault that may cause reduced functioning of the airbags if the user is buried in an avalanche.

Market Dynamics

Increasing participation of people in snowboarding and skiing as recreational activities is predicted to create rewarding growth prospects in the global avalanche airbags market. The risk of avalanche mishaps even with a slight neglect of safety measures is expected to increase the demand for avalanche airbags. On the other hand, the rising focus on the safety of sportspersons and reducing sports-related injuries is foreseen to further push the demand in the coming years.

However, people involved in skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and freeriding show hesitancy in completely replacing their standard safety gears with avalanche airbags because of uncertainty. Moreover, survival during avalanche mishaps is not guaranteed by avalanche airbags manufacturers. The presence of trees and rocks on mountain slopes could cause injuries even though skiers are equipped with avalanche airbags. All of these factors are foretold to restrict the growth of the global avalanche airbags market.
