As per the findings of the report diesel-based propulsion systems for
Leisure Boat will remain pivotal for the market as the bulk of revenue
will be generated through this category. Used Leisure boats, which are
cheaper and are available immediately, can be physically seen and
immediately tried, and are often already kitted out by the past owners
are the leading contributors to revenue, having witnessed a CAGR of 4.2%
in 2017-2022 and having a forecasted CAGR of 5.4% for the next decade.
Developments in Electric Boats are a driving factor for the demand
Electric boats are growing in popularity due to the fact that today’s consumers
and authorities are increasingly concerned about the emissions and
pollution caused due to traditional engines. Electric boats are
noiseless, odorless and smokeless and can be charged from the grid. They
also require less maintenance and are cheaper in the long run since
refuelling is significantly cheaper.
The COVID-19 Pandemic did not hamper the demand boom in the Leisure Boats Market.
The pandemic initially hurt the market as manufacturers were faced with a
shortage of skilled labor and materials like fiberglass and resin.
However, the demand picked up soon after and eventually grew to reach
higher numbers than pre-pandemic. This combination led to a shortage of
boats even for those willing to pay the new higher prices. Marina
docking fees, maintenance, and winter storage charges all saw an
increase.
The US to Command the Larger Proportion of demand Leisure Boats throughout the Analysis Period
The US boating industry is currently experiencing a boating boom, with
numbers higher than in pre-pandemic times. New boat sales in 2020
reached a 13-year high, with official data from the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis showing that boating and fishing, in general,
contributed US $30.8 billion in current-dollar value added in 2020. The US witnessed a CAGR OF 4.4% in 2017-2021 and presents
an absolute dollar opportunity of US $1.1 Bn, with the forecasted market value by 2032 being US $26.3 Bn, at a CAGR of 5.0%.
