Boat and Yacht Transportation Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rising demand for recreational boating is notably driving the boat and yacht transportation market growth, although factors such as volatility in fuel prices may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the boat and yacht transportation industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Boat and Yacht Transportation Market Driver
Rising demand for recreational boating is a major driver fueling the boat and yacht transportation market growth. Recreational boats can be used for conducting different activities such as watersports, sailing, fishing, and cruising. High consumer confidence in the growth of technology and significant features being inducted in boats are some of the major factors that will drive the recreational boat market. The presence of low-cost skilled labor is encouraging countries in Europe to manufacture recreational boats and export them to other countries across the world. The growing disposable income and an increase in consumer spending on recreational activities are fostering the demand for recreational boating in APAC. Among all types of recreational boats, outboard engine boats are expected to witness high demand in the global recreational boating market during the forecast period. It is mainly because of its effective use in water sports activities. Growth in the global recreational boating market is expected to increase the growth of the global boat and yacht transportation market.
Key Boat and Yacht Transportation Market Trend
The use of blockchain technology in marine transportation is one of the key global boat and yacht transportation market trends. Across the global regions, APAC is expected to show the highest growth in the adoption of blockchain technology. For example, the growth of FinTech (digital banking) technology in APAC doubled in 2016 by leapfrogging the US and Europe. This showcases APAC’s position as an early adopter of innovative technologies, and it is expected to reflect in the adoption of blockchain technology. China has also adopted the blockchain as a new strategy for economic development. For instance, VeChain, Matrix, and Nebulas were three key blockchain projects in China in 2018. In 2019, A.P. Moller-Maersk and IBM announced the setting up of a joint venture using blockchain technology to make supply chains efficient and safe. The adoption of blockchain technology by A.P. Moller- Maersk is expected to reduce the transportation cost by 20% when compared with that of physical transportation.
Key Boat and Yacht Transportation Market Challenge
Volatility in fuel prices is a major hindrance to the boat and yacht transportation market growth. The volatility in fuel prices will affect boat and yacht transportation by both trucks and waterways. Gasoline and diesel are commonly used fuels in trucks and marine vessels. The lower fuel price makes the boat and yacht transporters utilize the old fleet vehicles, including trucks and marine vessels, which consume comparatively more fuel than the newly manufactured vehicles. In contrast, high fuel prices induce the boat and yacht transporters to invest in highly fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles to keep up the margin. Though the fuel cost incurred by the boat and yacht transporters is transferrable to end customers, it is applicable only to a certain extent. The prices of crude oil can fluctuate due to many factors, such as a rise in the cost associated with oil exploration and production and growing demand for crude oil. Government taxation: Heavy taxes imposed on the sale of fuel can result in price fluctuation of crude oil. Some of the taxes imposed on fuels are the Goods and Services Tax, gross receipts tax, oil inspection fees, and emission trading levies.
