global slalom windsurf sails market size was USD 5 million in 2020 and market is projected to touch USD 10.06 million by 2031 at CAGR 5.9% during the forecast period.

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

The high-performance style of sails usually referred as slalom windsurfing sails, that was initially created for use in competitive sailing contests. An excellent balance amongst performance, mobility, and stability is provided by the sail when performing acrobatics on the waves. Although they can be used as a regular monohull cruise rig when sailing offshore or downwind, windsurfing sails are not advised for long-distance sailing because they are designed to produce the greatest amount of power over short distances.

The market can be profited as race or slalom sails are designed for speed, typically in light winds. Slalom sails typically have a wide range of sizes. They are also made of light materials to boost acceleration despite their size. This is particularly helpful for gybing, drawing the sail away from the water, and water starting. To keep the weight down, it is advisable to utilize them with small masts and booms. However, because of the light materials utilized, they are also more delicate, making them less likely to accidentally get swept in the shore break. Some also have cambers, which are essentially a fix for the turbulence that develops inside the mast.

COVID-19 Impact: Supply and Isolation Limitations to Deplete Market Advancement

The COVID-19 outbreak has delayed the development of worldwide industries, causing considerable annoyance for both customers and merchants. Markets and factories throughout the globe were shut down, effectively preventing the product's production, sale, and promotion. This has also presented firms with a possibility to defend their supply chain connections and model of operation in the future. Certain countries including Thailand, the island of Bali, and the islands of the Maldives largely run on vacationing, and due to the arrival of COVID-19 including the severe lockdowns, tourism globally has fallen dramatically. This has resulted to a slowdown in the expansion of the slalom windsurf sails market.

LATEST TRENDS 

"Increasing Trend of Amateur Windsurfing to Stimulate Market Development  "

In amateur windsurfing, the sails are utilized for competition and speed-training exercises. They fulfill the same purpose similar to a slalom ski in skiing, therefore its name. In this race, competitors navigate a series of buoys that serve as obstacles and allow them to move around at high speeds while also providing buoyancy. Because it has a greater surface area than advanced sails but less surface area as pro sails, the amateur sail is capable of handling all these changes well. Therefore, the increasing trend of the utilization of amateur windsurfing will propel the slalom windsurf sails market growth.
