COVID-19 IMPACT

Cabin Cruisers Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to supply chain disruption during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The Cabin Cruisers market got affected with the outbreak of COVID-19, which impacted its sales and production tremendously as the Cabin Cruisers market faced various challenges like shutdowns, travel bans, and stock market fluctuations. There was a decrease in disposable income as people could not spend as much, and tourism came to a standstill and resulted in decreased demand for recreational boats. Reduced production due to manufacturing delays and problems in supply chain networks, as well as a lack of proper marina access, slowed down the market development during this period. This downturn was incurred by both big-scale producers and small companies that are in the production line.

LATEST TREND

Sustainable electric and hybrid designs are driving growth in cabin cruisers

Another development that is emerging currently in the Cabin Cruisers market is the focus on sustainable designs and, more specifically, the use of electrical and hybrids. Due to increased consumption patterns to conserve the environment, manufacturers are increasingly using sustainable technologies to minimize carbon emissions. Such developments do not just reduce emissions but also provide hushed, smooth, and efficient operating at cruising speeds. This trend fits perfectly into the overall shift to green boating and can be expected to further develop in the future years.

CABIN CRUISERS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Inboard Motor & Outboard Motor

• Inboard Motor: Inboard motor cabin cruisers contain engines mounted inside the boat, which makes the structure of the ship neater and offers more stability. They are often more complex and designed for the bigger and more luxurious cabin cruiser boats for offshore or long-distance cruises. But maintenance can be quite a challenging affair because the engines are always internally placed.

• Outboard Motor: Cabin cruiser outboard motors have engines situated just outside the craft, at the end of a flat vertical surface termed the transom, as the engines are removable and transportable, and in addition, the arrangement is more suitable when operating in various conditions of water. They are normally used where cruisers range from small to middle size since they give greater speed as well as mobility. These motors are best suitable for coastal use, and they are rapidly gaining acceptance because of aspects like efficiency and ease of use, among other factors.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Personal & Commercial

• Personal: The personal segment of the cabin cruisers market focuses on the usage of cabin cruisers for personal or family entertainment including recreational cruising, fishing as well as water sports. These boats are more or less comfortable boats which have been designed with facilities for living on water. Marine tourism and luxury boats are on the rise and thus has led to enhanced demand in this segment.

• Commercial : The commercial segment covers cabin cruisers that are used for chartering, tourism and hospitality purposes. These boats are mostly bigger since they may be used for multiple people such as for tourism, hiring or even traveling in style. In particular, the platform operates in regions with steadily developing coastal tourism and water transport industry.

Environmental awareness and marine tourism boost market growth for cruisers

An untapped potential for the Cabin Cruisers market exists in the growing consciousness of the global communities’ need for environmentally friendly solutions for boating. When it comes to environmental aspects, there is a continuous increase in standards hence enabling the manufacturers to establish electric and hybrid-powered cruisers to meet the market demands. These advancements do not only help cut emissions but are also packaged with far reaching goals for the environmentally sensitive and affluent market. Thus, expansion into newly developing interest in marine tourism markets can also boost the demand.

Challenge

Fuel prices and costs challenge market growth in cabin cruisers

One compelling issue that the cabin cruiser market has had to deal with is the pricing of fuel and fluctuations in the prices of raw materials. These factors have the potential to cause the manufacturing costs and the market prices to rise; this may discourage the buyers and hence the stagnation of the market. For instance, variations in the economic factors and increased pressure due to environmental requirements are some of the other challenges that the industry faces as well. This shows that in order to mitigate these aspects, the most appropriate solutions and approaches have to be developed and implemented by manufacturers and other stakeholders in the supply chain.
