Market Dynamics
Introduction
Aluminum fishing boats are lighter in weight than fiberglass boats of the same dimensions. This makes them an easy option for convenient launching, pushing off, and maintaining it. It is also efficient in saving less oil due to its smaller powerplant and hence offering its contribution towards the environment.
Aluminum fishing boats are not just lighter in weight but are also strong and reliable on the waves. Also, these boats are made in such a way that they also lead to much less noise in comparison to other fishing boat options available.
Boating is one of the major outdoor participation activities, especially in the USA, alone accounting for more than 35% of the USA's total outdoor participation activities. Also, there is a growth in outdoor participation rate in the USA, with boating being the most preferred activity among all. Freshwater participants are more than thrice the saltwater fishing participants. There are different types of boats designed for fishing activities in saltwater and freshwater. Aluminum fishing boats are preferably used for freshwater fishing, whereas fiberglass boats are generally used for saltwater fishing.
Historically, there has been a wide variety of traditional materials such as steel, wood, and concrete, used for the construction of hulls of fishing boats. However, all these have serious shortcomings. For instance, steel hulls are heavy and subject to rust, wooden hulls are prone to frequent leaks and rotting and are also heavy to an extent, and concrete hulls are very heavy and hard to handle. Over the past few decades, aluminum and fiberglass hulls came into the picture and have started being widely used in fishing boats.
Market Drivers
Aluminum is the most widely used material to manufacture the hull of fishing boats. Increasing new boat sales, increasing outdoor activity participants coupled with an increasing number of fishing participants, and the lower cost of aluminum boats than fiberglass boats are some of the key factors fueling the demand for aluminum fishing boats across regions, especially in North America.
