Pontoon Boat Market: Highlights
Pontoon boat is a flat-deck boat containing two or more floating hulls or tubes typically powered by an outboard engine. They generally have either square or rectangular shapes, which makes them less suitable for choppy or rough water; however, they are widely preferred in lakes where they are used for varied functions, such as entertainment, fishing, and lounging. These boats have large deck space, which adds more seating space, luxury, comfort, extra storage space, and additional room for various activities as per users’ interest.
The global pontoon boat market is projected to depict an impressive growth rate over the next five years to reach an estimated value of US$ 3,638.8 million in 2023. Increasing new boat sales, versatile usage of pontoon boats, advancement in the boat engine technology, and higher affordability of pontoon boats are some of the major factors mushrooming the demand for pontoon boats globally.
There is a growing trend of family outing, partying, as well as fishing activities on pontoon boats over other boats. Having wide-open deck space in pontoon boats as compared to V-hull boats of similar length give them excellent comfort. They are also easier to get in and out from docks, making them a reliable boat type for consumers as well as for commercial-renting purposes.
The market is segmented based on the application type as family-fun pontoon, fishing pontoon, cruising pontoon, watersports pontoon, and others. Family-fun pontoon is expected to remain the growth engine of the market during the forecast period of 2018 to 2023, driven by an increased preference of pontoon boats by families for fun over other boats, increasing trend of family outing, and affordability of pontoon boat.
Based on the tube type, the market is segmented as two-tube pontoon and three-tube pontoon. Two-tube pontoon boat is expected to remain the larger segment of the market during the forecast period, whereas three-tube pontoon boat is expected to witness a higher growth in the same period.
