The recreational boat industry has seen a rise in its new boat sales. Personal watercraft, jet boats, and saltwater fishing boats together accounted for 41% of new boat sales.

The recreational boating market is expected to reach USD 63.53 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 11.02%.

Existing recreational companies and traditional boat providers are entering the market through product development and product line extension.

Recreational Vehicle Market – Global Outlook and Forecast 2020-2025

The growing demand for camping and outdoor recreational activities among the millennial population is driving the growth of the RV industry.

The global RV market is expected to witness rapid growth after COVID-19.

The APAC region provides enormous opportunities and is likely to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period. Global brands are increasingly expanding their operations in the underpenetrated markets with rising income and growing young millennial population in the APAC, Latin America, and MEA regions.
