Curated reports across Outdoor Recreation, Wellness, Film, Product Placement, AI, EV, and Tiny Homes. The $5.6T addressable market behind the Tymmber thesis.
The outdoor recreation economy is one of the most thoroughly documented sectors in American commerce — tracked simultaneously at the federal, industry, state, consumer, and trade levels. Each source below covers a distinct data lane. Together they validate every layer of the market behind the Hitch to Home arc.
The government-grade benchmark — built on the same methodology as the U.S. GDP accounts. In 2024, outdoor recreation generated $1.3T in gross output and $697B in value added, representing 2.4% of GDP. Larger than agriculture, motor vehicle manufacturing, and air transportation combined.
The definitive annual measure of who is going outside. 2024 was a record-breaking year: 181 million Americans participated — 57.3% of all Americans aged 6 and older. Core participants grew for the first time in a decade. Since 2019 the base has grown by 27.5 million people.
52 million North American households camped in 2025, generating $66B in local spending. 49% booked a trip to improve mental wellbeing. 77% say "just being in nature is enough." Average daily spend exceeded $200 per person. This is the Tymmber customer in their own words.
Independent nonprofit translation of BEA data into state-by-state GDP, employment, and wage impact. Outdoor recreation is 2.5× larger than agriculture and 3.5× larger than motor vehicle manufacturing. Includes New Mexico-specific data directly relevant to the Casita's target terrain.
America's leading outdoor recreation coalition — 80 member organizations, 110,000+ businesses. Key data point: outdoor recreation on federal public lands generates $351 million per day. Documents the EXPLORE Act, 24 state recreation offices, and the bipartisan durability of this sector.
The closest proxy to the Tymmber core customer: the person who hitches something to their truck and goes. RVing is the No. 1 contributor to the conventional outdoor recreation economy. Median new buyer age: 32 years old. $140B economic impact. Third consecutive year of shipment growth.
Workforce displacement projections, productivity multiplier data, and adoption curves across SME and enterprise segments — the core economic backdrop for Tymmber's AI architecture market entry.
Trend data on the pre-fab, tiny home, and off-grid housing segment including regulatory shifts, financing evolution, and the growing consumer base seeking physical sovereignty over their living situation.

Consumer shift from passive tourism toward active, self-directed outdoor experiences. Growth of overlanding, van life, and camp-to-commerce travel models that align with Tymmber's target personas.
The distribution landscape has structurally shifted in Tymmber's favor. YouTube now commands the largest share of US television viewing — ahead of Netflix — at zero distribution cost. The creator economy is growing at 23% annually toward $1.3T by 2033. Angel Studios proved that community-first, values-driven content can scale to institutional size without institutional backing. The data below validates Tymmber's content-first customer acquisition architecture at every layer.
YouTube captured 13.4% of all US TV viewing time in July 2025 — its sixth consecutive month as television's #1 platform, establishing the largest lead over any competitor since Nielsen began the Gauge in 2023. Netflix held 8.8%. Disney held 9.4%. YouTube's share exceeds Netflix by 52%. TV screens have overtaken mobile as YouTube's primary viewing device in the US.
YouTube generated $60B in revenue in 2025 — 33% more than Netflix's $45B — with $40B from advertising alone. Netflix plans to spend $20B on content in 2026 to compete. YouTube's network effect (more creators → more viewers → more creators) means its content library grows without capital deployment. For Tymmber, this means distribution on the dominant platform costs nothing while competitors spend billions to reach the same audience.
The global creator economy is projected to grow at 23%+ annually between now and 2033, reaching $1.3T — compared to the global broadcasting and cable TV market projected at $450B by 2030 (4% CAGR). Streamers spent $95B on content in 2025, surpassing commercial broadcasters. Tymmber's content-first model positions it inside the faster-growing creator economy, not the capital-intensive studio model.
Angel Studios achieved Q1 2026 revenue of $115M with positive adjusted EBITDA of $4M — their first profitable quarter. 2.2M paying guild members representing $365M in annualized recurring revenue. $255M in cumulative filmmaker royalties paid to date. Proof that community-first, values-driven content can scale to institutional size without institutional backing. The stock trades at $2.89 vs. a 52-week high of $20.39 — evidence of the ceiling imposed by a single-vertical niche strategy. Tymmber's multi-format, broad-terrain content model is designed to avoid exactly this constraint.
Streaming reached 47.5% of all US TV viewing in December 2025 — a historic record, exceeding the combined share of broadcast (21.4%) and cable (20.2%). Expected to cross 50% by mid-2026. YouTube led at 12.7%, Netflix at 9.0%. Four platforms hit all-time share records in December. The shift is structural and irreversible — and YouTube's free-access model means Tymmber reaches the largest audience without a distribution fee or gatekeeper approval.
The global product placement market reached $32.98B with four consecutive years of double-digit growth. TV accounts for $20.6B. The US market alone surpassed $16.5B. The RAAK appears in Scene One of LOHD not as paid placement but as the authentic reason the protagonist could live and work from a mountain camp for months. That distinction — authentic integration vs. paid placement — is the most defensible product introduction in any film ever made. And it happened in real life.
