Analyst view: “The recreational boating industry will experience a significant growth through 2027 due to rising inclination of consumer toward leisure sailing and surfing. Introduction of smart technologies for marine navigation will further aid the market demand”
 

High initial investments and limited awareness related to boating safety will restraint the recreational boating market. Complex mechanisms, such as shift and throttle controls, are limiting the adoption of recreational boats by new boating enthusiasts. However, companies are offering vocational boat training courses and conducting awareness programs to overcome the challenges and strengthen the market revenue.
 

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the boating industry during the first half of 2020. The rise in unemployment rate due to lay-off of workers across various manufacturing sectors led to fall in discretionary spending capacity of consumers. A temporary halt in manufacturing and supply chain disruption led to delay in production of boats globally. However, there was an increasing consumer inclination toward water sports activities during the first half of 2020 in Europe and North America. The recreational boating market is poised to experience a rapid growth by the mid of 2021 on account of supportive government policies, rollout of vaccines, and easing of travel restrictions globally.
