The global recreational boat market is expected to witness a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period owing to factors including the expanding tourism sector and rising levels of personal disposable income. The need for recreational boating will rise as a result of advancements in autonomous maritime technology, which will also raise the need for less experienced leisure boaters. The existence of numerous players in this diversified and well-integrated market assures a steady supply to meet the global demand for recreational boats. In addition, to gain traction in the recreational boat market, prominent market players are creating new products, implementing expansion strategies, and engaging in partnerships, mergers, and acquisitions. For instance, In June 2021, Groupe Beneteau launched its Grand Turiamo 45 luxury boat with high-class interiors, and dynamic control. It has a length of 14.78 meters, 900 Liters fuel capacity, 400 Liters freshwater capacity, and 2X 440 CV/HP engine power.
Due to COVID-19, the boats and engine manufacturing companies have faced huge losses during the first & second quarters of 2020. This is mainly attributed to disrupted supply chains and production schedules. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the recreational boating industry across the world. Several preventive measures are taken to curb it, such as lockdowns, movement restrictions, and a reduction in working staff and manufacturing halts. However, by the end of 2020, once lockdowns were released and logistics were getting in line, the market reopened with normal sales similar to the previous year. This was mainly due to people not being able to go elsewhere due to partial lockdowns and personal boating providing a safe tourism option during the pandemic.
Some of the major players operating in the market are Brunswick Corporation, Groupe Beneteau, Mastercraft Boat Holdings Inc., Malibu Boats Inc., Polaris Inc., Azimut Benetti S.p.A., Sunseeker International (Dalian Wanda Group), Bombardier Recreational Products Inc., Ferretti S.p.A., and Marine Products Corporation.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst boat type, personal watercraft is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period”
Based on the boat type, the market is bifurcated into yachts, sailboats, personal watercraft, inflatables, and others. Among these, personal watercraft is expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing participation in water sports activities globally. Furthermore, the growing consumer interest in outdoor recreational activities, the availability of a variety of water sporting equipment and facilities, and the expansion of e-commerce, particularly in the APAC and Americas, are the main factors driving the recreational boat industry. Numerous water sports facilities have been established around the world as a result of the growing participation rates in water sports among all age groups.

“Amongst power range, 51 – 150 KW category to witness significant growth during the forecast period”
Based on the power range, the market is bifurcated into <50 KW, 51 – 150 KW, and >151 KW. In 2020, the 51 – 150 KW category is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the stringent emission regulations coupled with increasing investment in research and development of energy-efficient and high-power recreational boats. Furthermore, high power demand for luxury yachts has risen steadily in the last few years. This can be attributed to the change in lifestyle of people fueled by growth in HNWIs, a rise in inclination toward recreational and leisure activities, and a surge in the trend of yacht tourism.

For instance, In July 2021, Malibu boats launched the 25 LSV with a length of 7.62 meters, as part of its LSV series. It has a max capacity of 18 people and comes with 390 liters of fuel capacity and 430 hp torque.

North America grabbed a significant market share in the global recreational boat market in 2020, and it is expected to grow with considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the high-income levels of the consumers in the region coupled with rising awareness about the importance of spending time in outdoor recreational activities for a balanced and healthy life. Furthermore, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), spending time outdoors can improve overall health and wellness. In addition, outdoor activities such as boating offer many opportunities to be physically active and also promote mental health and stress reduction. Furthermore, the higher demand for the recreational boat in the region is majorly driven by factors such as an increasing number of HNWI and the growing popularity of water sports & fishing activities.
