Yacht Market Size, Share, Trends, Growth, Production, Consumption, Revenue, Company Analysis and Forecast 2021-2030

The global Yacht market size is expected to be worth around US$ 22.16 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Vision Research Reports.

The global Yacht market size was valued at US$ 9.15 billion in 2020 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% during forecast period 2021 to 2030.

Growth Factors

The market is expected to witness significant growth owing to the increasing coastal and marine tourism activities across the globe. Furthermore, the rising standard of living and growing corporate tourism activities across the globe are expected to further drive the market.

The sports segment is expected to exhibit high growth owing to its use in personal activities as well as sports events. The increasing number of recreational sporting events, yacht trade shows, and events organized by OEMs are supporting the growth of the market in developed regions such as North America and Europe. A significant increase in the number of people participating year-on-year in marine recreational activities is also expected to further boost the market growth in these regions. Moreover, rising marine tourism and the growing population of high-net-worth individuals are also likely to contribute to the growth of the regional markets.

According to the World Bank, High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWI) account for less than 1% of the world’s total population and more than 40% of the world’s total wealth. The growing HNWI population is driving the spending on leisure activities, including yacht travels. The demand for modern leisure yachts is particularly growing as it provides a connected experience while cruising, fishing, and so on.

The increasing adoption rate has compelled manufacturers to invest in research and development on building yachts using high-strength composite material for physical structures. Significant amounts of R&D budgets are also assigned for the integration of technologies such as IoT that enable the exchange of information through a single network. Furthermore, the digitalization of propulsion systems has also significantly increased the efficiency of yachts, thus reducing fuel consumption.

Report Highlights

The super yacht segment dominated the market with a revenue share of more than 29% in 2020. The high popularity among the end-users is anticipated to bode well for the segment growth. The sport yacht is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment in the market. The segment growth can be attributed to the high demand for a sports yacht in countries such as China and France. These countries have witnessed the active participation of adults in recreational boating activities and sporting events. Sports yachts are used for marine tourism, sports tournaments, other recreational activities such as cruising, fishing, and other water sports activities.

Furthermore, increasing demand for recreational tournaments and growing affinity for outdoor recreational activities are expected to drive the segment growth. The recreational tournaments are also offering employment opportunities. They are emerging as a source of revenue generation for yacht caterers, clothing outlets, chandlers, and boat builders, among others. Boating can be considered a year-round activity as people tend to enjoy outdoor water sports activities in all seasons.

The motor yacht segment held the largest revenue share of more than 82% in 2020. The high share of this segment can be attributed to the benefits offered by these yachts including the high speed and power, large distance coverage, among others. Also, these yachts are highly preferred by the people for the advanced systems and equipment installed in the motor yachts. Modern equipment acts as a key enabler for the high sales of such yachts in the global market. Also, the segment is forecasted to emerge as the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period.

The sailing yachts use sails as a propulsion system and therefore depend upon the speed of the wind for movement. Although the sailing vessels can cover long distances, the design, deck space, and onboard facilities offered by the motor yachts makes them a more attractive option to the buyers. The rising focus on recreational activities and the increasing technological advancements is further anticipated to bolster the growth of motor yachts in the global market. The motor yacht market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2021 to 2028.

The 20-to-50-meter segment dominated the market with a revenue share of over 54% in 2020. It is expected to continue to dominate the segment over the forecast period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to benefits such as low maintenance costs and light wind sailing capabilities that help save fuel and ensure traveling in a favorable wind direction. Additionally, benefits such as lower moorage costs and shallow drafts for water anchorages are also making this length size a preferred choice among the users.

Yachts with length sizes ranging up to 20 m can be used for both competitive as well as recreational purposes. Furthermore, in North America and Europe, the emerging trend of using renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy in sea vessels is most likely to play an important role in reducing fuel usage and emissions from ships. A yacht of this length size operating on renewable energy is generally compact and lightweight as it requires less energy to sail. This is also a prominent factor augmenting the growth of the up to 20 m segment.

Europe accounted for the largest market share with a revenue contribution of over 35% in 2020 in the global market. The high share can be attributed to the increased yacht sales in the region. The demand in European countries is majorly driven by factors such as an increasing number of HNWI and the growing popularity of water sports and fishing activities. In the upcoming years, passenger traffic in coastal and marine tourism is expected to increase drastically due to the attractiveness of the region and recent supportive policies. This is anticipated to increase in investments in coastal areas and recreational activities such as fishing, sail training adventures, white-water rafting, kayaking, and one-day boating adventures, in addition to scuba diving, free diving, and snorkeling. The increasing number of trade shows hosted by manufacturers and recreational boating events are supporting the market growth in the region.

Asia Pacific is anticipated to emerge as the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period. The rise in disposable income and improved standard of living are some of the critical factors responsible for the changing preference of the regions’ populace for yacht travel. Furthermore, government initiatives for the development of tourism activities such as the Swadesh Darshan Scheme and Incredible India are expected to boost the regional market growth over the forecast period. However, countries facing economic crises, political instability, and stringent FDI policies are anticipated to negatively influence growth. Furthermore, the surging demand for recreational activities supported by the increasing participation of people in marine recreational activities in countries such as Singapore, Thailand, China, and Australia is also expected to bolster the growth of the regional market.
