Five Outdoor Industry Predictions For 2025

The Rock Fight: Outdoor Industry & Adventure Sports Commentary

Today on The Rock Fight (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) Colin & Producer Dave are joined by legendary outdoor industry analyst Matt Powell.

Over the course of his five predictions for 2025, Matt highlights the need for a shift in the outdoor industry's business model and emphasizes that the current approach of relying heavily on winter sports is unsustainable.

The discussion touches on the convergence of athletic and outdoor markets, the importance of embracing fashion within the industry, the need for inclusivity to attract a more diverse customer base, and a whole lot more.
