The import of rowing boats, canoes, and pleasure boats, excluding sailboats, is projected to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028, reaching 31.704 million kilograms by 2028, indicating a consistent annual increase. In 2023, the volume was slightly lower, reflecting a growing demand in the US market. With year-on-year growth percentages estimated to be around 2.6% to 3%, this trend shows robust health in the leisure boating industry, driven by increased consumer interest in recreational activities.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts from shifts in consumer leisure preferences, advancements in boat technology, and economic factors affecting discretionary spending. Changes in environmental regulations and sustainability trends may also shape future import dynamics.
