Ongoing technological developments
The industry is making great leaps on account of the continuous technological developments and adoption of IoT and smart sensors. Various market players and research institutes are working towards introducing innovative systems in the product. To illustrate, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Senseable City Lab have been building the first-ever fleet of autonomous boats for the City of Amsterdam.
In 2020, the researchers introduced Roboat II, a new and larger vessel to the fleet. The team, alongside the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions, developed control and navigation algorithms to facilitate effective communication and collaboration among the boats.
New product launches by market players
Several new and existing companies in the recreational boating industry are focusing on strategic initiatives like mergers, acquisitions, and developments of innovative offerings that can meet consumer demands effectively. To illustrate, in 2021, The Arc Boat company, which comprises a team of former SpaceX rocket engineers, announced building its first commercial electric speedboat. The company reportedly raised USD 4.25 million in seed funding to develop the 24ft 475-horsepower boat that will cost nearly $300,000.
Burgeoning demand for inflatable boats
The increasing consumer preference for inflatable boats for rescue operations and short-distance travel is driving the industry growth. The demand for these boats is being largely impelled by the increasing prevalence of natural calamities, vessel catastrophes, and refinery accidents. In addition, the growing emphasis of government authorities on the preventive measures to control drowning is further increasing the adoption of inflatable boats in the nautical tourism sector.
Increasing nautical tourism in Latin America
Recreational boating industry is observing considerable growth in Latin America owing to the increasing demand for water sports coupled with the presence of mature nautical tourism infrastructure in the region. In addition, increasing consumer expenditure on leisure activities and the presence of scenic coastlines in Mexico and Brazil encouraging consumer participation in recreational boating is positively influencing the regional business space. The introduction of hybrid and electric boats equipped with high-powered engines and smart technologies is further creating new growth opportunities.
