Abstract

US demand to grow 5.3% annually through 2011
US demand for recreational boating products (including boats and separately sold propulsion systems and accessories) is projected to rise 5.3 percent per annum through 2011 to $20.3 billion. Strong growth in recreation and leisure expenditures will support demand, as will gains in disposable personal income. The recreational boating market will benefit from strong population growth in the 55- 64 age bracket, which are key end users of recreational boating products. Lastly, gains will be supported by the effort of manufacturers and industry organizations to increase interest in boating among women, minorities and other nontraditional boat buyers.

Manufacturers’ shipments of recreational boating products will benefit from greater opportunities in the export market, particularly to Canada and Western Europe. Gains will also be driven by product innovations and technological advances, such as the incorporation of global positioning systems in many vessels.
