Nine Chinese ministries have approved a package of measures to support the RV and camping industry. In Chengdu, RV sales in 2025 exceeded 42 million yuan, and prices for basic models dropped from 60,000 to 40,000 yuan due to localization of components. RV rentals are gaining momentum: during peak season, a 7-day tour costs 399 yuan. Modification restrictions apply: solar panel installation is allowed, but mounting motorcycle carriers and towing trailers are limited by length and weight regulations. There are about 1,000 certified campsites in the country, which does not meet demand.
RV sales in China in 2024 exceeded 20,000 units, a year-on-year increase of over 40%. Exports of Chinese RVs in the first half of 2025 grew by 28.9%. The market is transitioning from a niche product for wealthy buyers to a mass segment: prices for self-propelled models have fallen to 150,000–300,000 yuan, and for trailers to 80,000 yuan. Growth drivers include government support for tourism infrastructure, post-pandemic changes in consumer habits, and localization of production by major automakers (SAIC, Yutong, Jiangling).
