Impact of COVID-19 on the recreational boats market

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a widespread economic downturn as several countries imposed strict lockdowns to contain the infection. This has affected diverse industries; manufacturing is one of the severely impacted sectors. There has been a significant impact on supply chains globally. Boats and engine manufacturing companies have faced huge losses during the first & second quarter of 2020 due to disrupted supply chains and production schedules. The rapid spread of COVID-19 in the U.S., Europe, and Asian economies resulted in nationwide lockdowns and a temporary halt of production facilities to prevent further spread.

With the increasing number of cases, consumers opted to spend on necessities and food supply compared to recreational & leisure activities in the highly impacted regions, including Europe and Asia-Pacific. This situation resulted in negligible spending on outdoor recreational & boating activities. Also, the imposition of stringent lockdowns and temporary closure of public facilities, including marinas, boating parks, and lakes, has led to the downfall of the boating business.

Powered boats are witnessing a significant demand even during the pandemic in the U.S. Following the WHO's social distancing guidelines for minimizing the virus' spread; people have shunned airlines, hotels, cruises, and other crowded places. North Americans have opted for personal transportation to fend off the virus, thereby boosting the demand for outboard-powered boats for recreational activities.
