North America Outdoor Play Structures Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By End-use (Residential, Commercial), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

The North America outdoor play structures market size is expected to reach USD 729.8 million by 2030. Furthermore, the market is expected to advance at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2023 to 2030. The growth is attributed to the increasing number of public & private gardens in the region on account of rising awareness regarding the physical health of children in North American countries such as the U. S., Canada, and Mexico.

As the trend of online gaming is growing in North America, children are lacking in their physical fitness; thereby, parents are investing in outdoor playground structures to involve their children in physical activities. Outdoor playground structures help in developing confidence, creative thinking, and physical strength. Additionally, the construction of public spaces, including commercial buildings, public parks, hotels, restaurants, churches, and schools is also increasing in North America, which, in turn, is expected to positively influence the growth of the outdoor play structures market in North America.

For instance, in 2022, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation Commissioner and the New York City Mayor announced that the construction of 104 parks, which was paused earlier, will start again. Furthermore, USD 2.2 million were invested in the renovation of playgrounds in New York. Such initiatives in countries such as the U. S., Canada, and Mexico will drive the demand for outdoor play structures over the forecast period in North America.

Mexico is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the North American market on account of the rising demand for housing units, owing to the increasing population in the country. For instance, in 2022, approximately 14,000 new homes were constructed in Mexico. The country still faces a demand for more than 60,000 new homes. This is anticipated to surge residential construction activities in the coming years, thereby increasing the demand for outdoor play structures in the country. Furthermore, rapid urbanization, a growing middle-class population, and the increasing purchasing power of individuals have compelled people to install playsets for their children.
