What are the major drivers and opportunities for the marine seats market?
Factors such as growth in the maritime tourism industry and increasing focus on procuring and upgrading naval military vessels are the factors contributing to the growth of the marine seats market. The booming maritime tourism, due to the year on year increase in seaborne passenger traffic, has resulted in more demand for new vessels such as cruises, yachts, and ferries. This has increased the procurement for marine seats and upholstery for new vessels. On the other hand, many commercial sea liners are increasing their existing passenger capacity. This has led to increasing demand for marine seats and upholstery, specifically for upgrading the existing ships, which in turn would contribute to the growth of the marine seats market further.
What are some key marine vessel platforms which are likely to witness higher demand in the coming years? How will increased demand for such platforms affect the market for marine seats?
Commercial marine platforms such as cruises, ferries, and motorboats will be the platforms, which will witness an increased demand in the coming years. This will be due to the increasing trend of sea tourism, growing tourist numbers year-on-year, and declining per tourist expenditures. These factors will result in the demand for more number of newer commercial platforms, which will eventually augment the demand for marine seats from new vessels.
Which platforms will drive the growth of the marine seats market in the next five years?
The commercial platform, such as the motorboats, is expected to drive the growth of the marine seats market in the next five years. The increasing trend for recreational activities and watersports will contribute to this growth in the next five years.
Which region is expected to witness the significant demand in the coming years for the marine seats market?
The major demand for marine seats and upholstery is expected to come from the motorboats segment. North America and Europe accounted for some of the biggest commercial motorboat manufacturers. Countries such as China and Japan also hold a competent manufacturing base for motorboats and are witnessing an increased demand for domestic recreational boating activities. North America, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific, will be the biggest contributor to increasing the demand for motorboats based marine seats market.
What are the upcoming technological trends in the marine seats market? How are these trends expected to shape future demand?
Lightweight and shock-absorbing seats are upcoming technological trends in the marine seats market. The future demand for marine seats will be fueled by the increasing trend for the usage of shock-mitigating seats in marine platforms used explicitly for military, law enforcement, commercial and recreational purposes. .
