The increasing popularity of hiking, running, cycling, and other outdoor activities in the Middle East and Africa is propelling the market for active backpacks. Governments across the region have been investing significant time, money, and effort into encouraging more people to participate in outdoor activities, be it for leisure, sport, or health.

For instance, the UAE government has made considerable financial investments in the construction of walking, jogging, and cycling lanes that are entirely separate from road traffic. In Dubai, there are plans to expand the existing 463 km-long cycling tracks to 759 km by 2026.
