What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Portable Emergency Shelter Market?
The surge in the occurrence of natural disasters is predicted to stimulate the expansion of the portable emergency shelter market in the coming years. Natural disasters, which are cataclysmic events triggered by earth's natural mechanisms, result in substantial damage to properties, the environment, and infrastructure and frequently cause deaths and economic turbulence. Factors such as climate change, deforestation, rapid urbanization, population growth, environmental degradation, and enhanced reporting are augmenting the frequency of natural disasters. Portable emergency shelters, offering immediate and temporary accommodation, shield people from adverse weather conditions, can be swiftly deployed and established, and provide a secure environment for people dislocated by disasters. For example, Our World in Data (OWID), a public source based in the UK, reported in April 2024 that the global count of earthquakes rose from 16 in 2021 to 32 in 2023. As such, the escalating frequency of natural disasters propels the growth of the portable emergency shelter market.
