the outdoor industry’s catalyst for meaningful change

A member-based collective, Outdoor Industry Association (OIA) is a passionate group of business leaders, climate experts, policy makers and outdoor enthusiasts committed to sustainable economic growth while protecting – and growing access to – the benefits of the outdoors for everyone. 

 

OUR HISTORY

OIA was founded in 1989 by a group of 14 visionary outdoor industry leaders who created the association to be a unified, collaborative, pre-competitive voice to help guide the industry. For more than 30 years, OIA has catalyzed a thriving outdoor industry by supporting the success of every member company across four critically aligned areas: market research, sustainability, government affairs, and inclusive participation.
