According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Rigid Inflatable Boats Market is accounted for $1.36 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $2.13 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. A rigid inflatable boat provides a reliable and safe boating experience. It is a high-capacity, high-performance, and unsinkable boat. Watercrafts with rigid inflatable hulls are lighter, more fuel-efficient, and easier to operate. Additionally, this is built in a contemporary manner, allowing them to function as both a yacht and an adventure craft.
According to India Meteorological Department (IMD), Bengaluru received 131.6 mm of rainfall breaking 80 years old record.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Surge in leisure activities
Global consumer spending rises as per capita income rises, which further encourages expansion in leisure activities. Rigid inflatable boats offer a quick and dependable solution for high-end transportation and leisure boating activities. Despite the segment's broader selection of inflatable boats, these boats are still growing in popularity. The market will advance due to elements including the developing tourism sector and rising disposable income levels.
Restraint:
High Maintenance
Some models are heavy and may only be moved using a trailer. Inflatable boats have a number of requirements, including rinsing off any sea water, routine tube cleaning, maintaining tube air pressure, and inspecting fabric welds at least once a year. Finding dealers who can fix any tears and punctures is not simple for owners to do. They also have little room for storage. As a result, these elements are limiting the market's expansion.
Opportunity:
Growing demand for rigid inflatable boats
Construction of boats is now required due to the growing popularity of rigid boats for security purposes. The naval and coast guard boats are typically designed for non-compliant boarding team operations and high-speed boat interdiction. These boats are built for both shipboard and shore-based operations, giving the crew optimal comfort and mission range. These vessels can survive severe weather. As a result, these elements are having an impact on market expansion.
Threat:
High Cost of Manufacturing
These watercraft are still exceedingly expensive to purchase and produce, even with technological advances and new materials being used in their construction. Costly and extensive labours are another factor in the high price. The price of these boats is further increased by the inclusion of luxuries like cabins with berths and seats that can be opened to create sun lounges. These elements are therefore impeding the market's expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on the majority of industries, including manufacturing. In addition, adventure sports and coastal tourism were severely impacted by global restrictions and lockdowns, which decreased demand for rigid inflatable boats. The pandemic has disrupted the boating industry's workforce as a result of the closure of ports throughout the world to stop the virus from spreading. In order to stop the spread of the epidemic, numerous governments imposed bans on shipping and maritime activities, which resulted in financial losses for the market for rigid inflatable boats.
The 9-15 metre segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The 9-15 metre segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to increase in tourist recreational activities. The demand for such boats has increased due to the fact that they are primarily used for recreational activities. However, it is projected that the market for 9–15 metre length boats will expand due to technological advancements and the use of longer boats by governments for tasks like coastguard and rescue missions. It is anticipated that this market will grow the fastest.
The outboard segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The outboard segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to advantages. The demand for such boats has increased due to the fact that they are primarily used for recreational activities. However, it is projected that the market for 9–15 metre length boats will expand due to technological advancements and the use of longer boats by governments for tasks like coastguard and rescue missions. It is anticipated that this market will grow the fastest.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to increasing government initiatives for increasing tourism in their respective countries. The region is expected to have significant growth due to the fact that the majority of the population is residing there and due to economic development, that is enabling people to enjoy improved standards of living and spend more on leisure activities.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the increasing preference for leisure activities and water sports. These businesses are well-established on the international market and offer a variety of products. They mainly concentrate on creating cutting-edge products. It is predicted that a rise in disposable income and rising spending on leisure activities will open the door for significant growth in the region.
