Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Advanced Battery Technology (Solid-State)
Next-generation battery chemistries like solid-state offer significantly higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety compared to current lithium-ion, enabling longer off-grid capabilities.
IoT and Smart Integration
Integration of sensors and connectivity into mobile living solutions allows for remote monitoring, control, and predictive maintenance of devices like refrigerators and power systems via smartphone apps.
Modular & Lightweight Materials
Innovations in composites, aerospace-grade aluminum, and modular design enable the creation of lighter, more durable, and easily reconfigurable outdoor gear and vehicle components.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) RV Safety Regulations (Ongoing updates)
NHTSA continually updates safety standards for recreational vehicles, including requirements for braking, tires, and fire safety systems, to enhance consumer protection.
Dometic must ensure its RV-specific components and installations comply with evolving NHTSA safety standards, potentially requiring product redesigns or certifications.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Refrigerant Regulations (e.g., AIM Act, 2020)
The EPA's American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 mandates a phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), commonly used refrigerants, to combat climate change.
Dometic's cooling products must transition to alternative, lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, impacting supply chains, manufacturing processes, and product costs.
California Air Resources Board (CARB) Portable Engine Regulations (Ongoing updates)
CARB sets stringent emissions standards for small off-road engines (SORE), which include portable generators often used in mobile living, to reduce air pollution.
Dometic's power solutions that include gasoline generators must meet increasingly strict CARB emission limits, potentially driving a shift towards battery or solar-based alternatives.
