SECTOR SPOTLIGHT ENERGY PRODUCTS<br />
for tent campers <strong>–</strong> whether<br />
that be family campers who<br />
want less to pack in the car, or<br />
lightweight backpackers, for<br />
whom low weight is invaluable.<br />
At <strong>Camping</strong> <strong>Trade</strong> <strong>World</strong>, we<br />
wonder whether we may also<br />
see new ways in which campers<br />
can generate electricity besides<br />
using solar power. Some<br />
brands such as Bio Lite have<br />
experimented with it, but we<br />
believe more innovation will<br />
surely come as many brains a lot<br />
smarter than ours try to figure<br />
out solutions to our energy<br />
problems <strong>–</strong> something that will<br />
become even more relevant if<br />
electric vehicles continue to<br />
grow in popularity.<br />
One thing is certain about<br />
the energy market, and that<br />
is that it will only continue to<br />
grow and evolve. Our reliance<br />
on technology has become<br />
more than just checking work<br />
emails or sending a few quick<br />
instant messages <strong>–</strong> it is vital<br />
to our social lives, our own<br />
personal admin with things<br />
like online banking, and also<br />
identification. If this is a market<br />
you are considering adding to<br />
your company or business, then<br />
it is a safe bet to say that it’s<br />
one that will be around for a<br />
while. However, that does not<br />
mean it will not continue to<br />
rapidly evolve or change. The<br />
crest of the wave with energy<br />
products is moving at a rapid<br />
rate and can only be expected to<br />
continue at that pace for some<br />
time to come.<br />
