Published 27 February 2026

Recreational Vehicle Market Overview 

According to Mordor Intelligence, the recreational vehicle market size was valued at USD 35.66 billion in 2026 and is projected to grow to USD 52.74 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 8.14% during the forecast period. The report presents a detailed recreational vehicle market analysis covering type, application, propulsion, length category, and geography. 

The recreational vehicle market has become an important segment within the broader recreational vehicle industry as consumers increasingly seek flexible travel and accommodation options. Recreational vehicles are widely used for temporary lodging during travel, while a growing group of owners are also adopting them for extended living arrangements. This shift supports steady recreational vehicle market growth across multiple regions. 

Key Recreational Vehicle Market Trends 

Remote Work Supporting Mobile Living: One of the defining recreational vehicle market trends is the integration of work and travel. A significant share of campers now work remotely from campsites, turning RVs into mobile offices. Manufacturers are equipping newer models with better connectivity features, power solutions, and workspace-friendly interiors. 

Domestic Tourism and Campground Expansion: Domestic road travel remains a strong driver of the recreational vehicle market. Investments in state parks and private campgrounds are improving infrastructure such as electrical hookups and waste management systems. This infrastructure development directly supports recreational vehicle market share expansion, particularly for motorhomes requiring higher utility capacity. 

Growth of Peer-to-Peer Rental Platforms: Peer-to-peer rental platforms are widening access to the recreational vehicle market. Owners can offset costs by renting out their vehicles, while new users can experience RV travel without full ownership. This model supports broader recreational vehicle industry participation and diversifies revenue streams. 

Electrification and Alternative Propulsion: Electrification is gradually entering the recreational vehicle market. Although internal combustion engines still dominate, hybrid and battery-electric models are gaining visibility. Early electric motorhome prototypes and hybrid platforms signal long-term direction within the recreational vehicle industry.
