Leisure Boats Market to 2027 - Middle East Analysis and Forecasts by Type (New Leisure Boats and Used Leisure Boats); Application (Sailboats, Runabouts, Jet Boats, Cabin Cruiser, and Watercrafts)

The Middle East leisure boats market is expected to grow to US$ 2,947.1 million by 2027 from US$ 1,840.0 million in 2017, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%. Middle East region comprises a significant high net-worth individual (HNI) population. A majority of this population has an affinity towards spending on travel and leisure activities. They prefer new experiences and privacy to spend some quality time. Today, people are shifting towards more personalized holiday vacations such as renting superyachts to discover the region's coastlines. Renting a crewed superyacht provides them the flexibility to personalize their travel plan and explore, thus offering liberty to make the most of every moment of their vacation. Therefore, it makes the Middle East one of the most lucrative regions for the leisure boats market.

The key trend which will predominantly affect the leisure boats market in the coming year is growth in the adoption of hybrid leisure boats. With the need for a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution, hybrid leisure boats are expected to gain high adoption in the near future. The leisure boat manufacturing companies are already working on the technology and have announced to launch their product in the market soon. For instance, Volvo has announced to commercialize its hybrid marine propulsion concept in 2021. This concept will enable a boat to operate with both electric as well as diesel. The factor above is expected to have a noteworthy impact on the leisure boats market.
