1. Recreational Boating to 2016
This study analyzes the US recreational boating industry. It presents historical demand data
for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, and forecasts for 2016 and 2021 by material (e.g.,
plastic, aluminum, coated fabric), product (e.g., traditional powerboats, personal watercraft,
sailboats) and US regional market (Northeast, Midwest, South, West). The study also
considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company
market share and profiles industry players.
By 2016, the US recreational boating market (including boats, propulsion systems and
accessories) will rebound from its depressed 2011 levels, with demand rising 7.5 percent
annually to $10 billion. Demand will be driven by gains in consumer spending and
disposable income, while the recovery in financial markets will enable more consumers to
buy boats on credit. Growth in the 55-64 age bracket will also support demand, since boat
purchases become more likely just prior to retirement and consumers in that age group
have the disposable income to purchase larger, more expensive vessels. In addition, the
industry’s effort to sell the “boating lifestyle” to women and minorities should expand the
market.
Boating products are luxury items, often purchased on credit or by borrowing against the
value of a home, and therefore the recreational boating market was decimated by the
economic downturn which began in 2007. As a result, the downturn provoked the worst
recreational boating industry contraction in nearly 50 years, with a sharp drop in demand
and a number of bankruptcies among participants. Following this collapse, the remaining
industry players are attempting to gauge the “new normal.” This will include determining
not only how far retail boating product demand will recover, but also how much stock boat
dealers will maintain and how many dealers and boatbuilders will even survive.

Additional Information
This study analyzes the US recreational boating industry, which consists of boats (traditional
powerboats, personal watercraft, sailboats, canoes, and other types of boats), as well as
separately sold propulsion systems and accessories. In the context of this study,
“recreational boating” includes all of the above mentioned products, while “recreational
boats” refers only to boats and personal watercraft. Additionally, leading manufacturers of

2. recreational boating products are identified and profiled and significant competitive factors
are discussed. Important boat material trends are also covered.
Historical data (2001, 2006, and 2011) and forecasts to the years 2016 and 2021 are
provided in current dollar terms for demand, manufacturers’ shipments, and imports and
exports for aggregate recreational boating products. Demand and current dollar shipment
information is also given for each product classification at the manufacturers’ level and, for
many key product categories, demand is also provided in unit terms. In most cases,
demand and shipment information is derived from government census figures and trade
data; in certain instances, retail figures were used to generate demand and shipment levels.
Factory-installed propulsion systems and accessories are accounted for with their respective
boats. Data provided for propulsion systems and accessories reflect only those items which
are sold separately to the consumer. Total recreational boating demand is forecast for each
US region and each state within the regions.
