The 40-foot Electric Boat Market was valued at 1.78 billion in the year 2022 and is expected to grow at a steady rate of around 14% during the forecast period (2023-2030), owing to the growing spending on tours and traveling in coastal regions. Furthermore, the growing popularity of recreational activity is also driving up the demand for 40-foot electric boats. Boating and sailing are two popular recreational activities that have seen significant growth in recent years. According to a report by the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the number of boats in use in the United States grew by 12% between 2019 and 2020, reaching a record high of nearly 15 million vessels. Similarly, the number of active sailboaters in the country increased by 10% during the same period. One reason for the growing popularity of boating and sailing is the desire for a more relaxed and tranquil lifestyle. Both activities allow individuals to enjoy the great outdoors while experiencing a sense of freedom and adventure. Additionally, many people view owning a boat or sailboat as a luxury item, like buying a car or a vacation home. Another factor driving the growth of boating and sailing is the rise of social media, which has made it easier than ever before to share experiences and connect with other enthusiasts. Online communities and forums dedicated to boating and sailing have sprung up, providing a space for people to ask questions, share tips, and plan trips together. Furthermore, advances in technology have made both activities more accessible and safer. Modern boats and sailboats come equipped with advanced safety features like GPS tracking systems, emergency position-indicating radio beacons (EPIRBs), and even autonomous navigation software. This has helped to alleviate concerns about safety and security, making it easier for people to try out these activities for themselves. Moreover, along with the above-stated reasons the demand for electric boats is also rising due to factors such as sustainability, where electric boats offer a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional gas-powered boats. Additionally, electric boats are known for their quiet operation, smooth ride, and low maintenance requirements, making them a practical choice for daily use.

Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst Propulsion, the Pure Electric segment held the significant share of the market in 2022.”
Based on propulsion, the market is segmented into pure electric, hybrid, and sail electric. The pure electric segment holds most of the electric boat market, accounting for a share of over 60% in 2022. This is due to the increasing demand for zero-emission boats from governments and environmental organizations. Pure electric boats are also becoming more affordable and efficient, making them a more attractive option for boaters. The hybrid segment is the second largest, with a share of around 30%. Hybrid boats offer the best of both worlds, combining the power and range of a gasoline engine with the environmental benefits of an electric motor. This makes them a popular choice for boaters who want to reduce their environmental impact without sacrificing performance. The sail electric segment is the smallest, accounting for a share of less than 10%. However, it is growing rapidly, as more boaters are looking for sustainable ways to enjoy the water. Sail electric boats use a combination of solar power and electric motors to propel them, making them a zero-emission option that is also quiet and environmentally friendly.
“Amongst battery type, the lithium-ion battery segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030).”
Based on battery type, the market is categorized into nickel-based, lead-acid, and lithium-ion. The lithium-ion batteries hold most of the market for the batteries that are used in 40-foot electric boats. The prominent factors responsible for this domination are the high energy densities of lithium-ion batteries making them an ideal choice for electric boats. Furthermore, the rising production of lithium-ion batteries and technological advancements in this sector has led to decreased cost of these batteries, making them affordable and practical to commercialize. Moreover, ongoing innovations and R&D continuously taking place in this segment have made the batteries safer, high operational life, and reliable, with increased range, further motivating the manufacturers to use lithium-ion batteries for electric boats. Adding value to both consumers as well as manufacturers and leading to rising demand for lithium-ion batteries-powered electric boats, and same can be seen from the product launches by the players operating in this segment. For instance, in November 2021, Electric Fuel launched its new 48V lithium-ion battery alongside its 12V and 24V lithium-ion NCA marine batteries. The company claims that its marine-grade smart batteries offer four times more energy than traditional lead acid batteries of similar size and can withstand thousands of charging cycles and seven to ten years of operational life.
