Pontoon Boat Market Size, Impacted by COVID-19, to Reach US$ 2.5 Billion in 2025, Says Stratview Research

DETROIT, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Stratview Research announces the launch of a new research report on Pontoon Boat Market by Application Type (Family-Fun pontoon, Fishing Pontoon, Cruising Pontoon, Watersports Pontoon, and Others), by Tube Type (Two-Tube Pontoon and Three-Tube Pontoon),…

DETROIT, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Stratview Research announces the launch of a new research report on Pontoon Boat Market by Application Type (Family-Fun pontoon, Fishing Pontoon, Cruising Pontoon, Watersports Pontoon, and Others), by Tube Type (Two-Tube Pontoon and Three-Tube Pontoon), by End-Use Type (Private and Commercial), by Size Type (<20 Feet, 20-24 Feet, and >24 Feet), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World), Size, Trend, Forecast, Competitive Analysis, and Growth Opportunity: 2020-2025.

Stratview Research

This strategic assessment report, from Stratview Research, provides a comprehensive analysis that reflects today’s pontoon boat market realities and future market possibilities for the forecast period of 2020 to 2025. The report estimates the short- as well as long-term repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for pontoon boat at the global, regional, as well as country level. Also, the report provides the possible loss that the industry will register by comparing pre-COVID and post-COVID scenarios. The vital data/information provided in the report can play a crucial role for the market participants as well as investors in the identification of the low-hanging fruits available in the market as well as formulate growth strategies.

Pontoon Boat Market: Highlights from the Report

Pontoon boats are flat-deck boats containing two or more floating hulls or tubes typically powered by an outboard engine. They generally have either square or rectangular shapes, which make 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 pontoon boats market has grown tremendously in the past few years. It was among the first in the boating industry to rebound from the downturn in sales caused by the Great Recession (2008). As per our pre-COVID-19 estimates, Stratview Research forecasts indicated that the demand for pontoon boats could hit many untouched landmarks over the next five years, reaching close US$ 3.5-billion-sales figure by 2025. The market was likely to exhibit impressive growth in 2020, compensating the marginal decline faced in 2019.

However, the COVID-19 outbreak has devastated the growth trajectory of the entire boating industry, ruining the tireless efforts of one decade of industry stakeholders. Pontoon boats could not prevent themselves from those tendencies and are estimated to experience a hefty decline of -25.5% on a YoY basis in 2020, crushing the market to below the year 2015-value.

It is also estimated that the pontoon boats market is likely to mark the fastest rebound among all boat types in the post-pandemic scenario. The market will find some solace with some driving factors including expected growth in the HNWI population, increasing boating participants, increasing share of pontoon boats in the outboard boats, versatile usage of pontoon boats, advancements in the boat engine technology, and higher affordability of pontoon boats. As a result of that, the pontoon boats market is estimated to reach an estimated US$ 2.5 billion in 2025, offering good opportunities for the market participants in the long-term scenario.

Based on the application type family-fun application is likely to remain the dominant segment of the market by 2025. It is expected to be driven by the USA, where there are more boat partying and holiday culture with a high preference of pontoon boats for the same. Fishing is another key application of pontoon boat which also covers a significant share of the total market.

Based on the tube type, two-tube pontoons are expected to remain the dominant tube type segment, whereas three-tube pontoons are expected to be the faster-growing segment during the forecast period, owing to their larger capacity, space, and efficiency coupled with the trend of larger and high-performance boats.

In terms of boat size, the 20-25-feet pontoon boat segment is likely to remain the most dominant size type in the market in years to come. Most of the applications fall under the size range and its excellent affordability has led to the huge dominance across major application verticals.

In terms of regions, North America is projected to remain the largest market for the pontoon boats during the forecast period. The USA is the world’s largest market for both pontoon boats as well as recreational boats. The country is marked by the presence of many small- to big-sized players serving the market. However, Asia-Pacific is likely to be the fastest-healing region in the market in a post-pandemic scenario.  Australia, New Zealand, and China are key countries in the region, generating a considerable market demand.

Pontoon boats have been gaining share in the outboard boats market, and their attractiveness has led to the entry of boating players in the market. After the recession, the sales of pontoon boats were so high that even the established industry players in fiberglass boats also began to enter the pontoon boats market:

Key players in the pontoon boats market are Avalon Pontoon Boats, Brunswick Corporation, Forest River Inc., MasterCraft Boat Company, LLC, Polaris Inc. (Boat Holdings, LLC.), Smoker Craft, Inc., Triton Industries Inc. (Manitou Pontoon Boats), and White River Marine Group. Development of high-performance pontoon boats, expansion of distribution network, regional expansion, and execution of mergers & acquisitions are the key strategies adopted by the major players to gain a competitive edge in the market.

PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Advances in technology and decreasing costs have led to an increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by the military and civilian sectors. The use of UAVs in commerce is restricted by US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, but the FAA is drafting new regulations that are expected to expand commercial applications. Currently, the transportation of medical goods in times of critical need is limited to wheeled motor vehicles and manned aircraft, options that can be costly and slow. There is a growing demand for the use of UAVs to deliver medical products and devices, including blood derivatives and pharmaceuticals, to hospitals, mass casualty scenes, and offshore vessels in times of critical demand. A recent report from ResearchAndMarkets projected that the global medical supply delivery service market size is expected to reach USD 96.6 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period. The increasing need for quick and secure transportation of supplies, devices, samples and specimens for testing and reducing logistics costs are some of the major factors driving the market.  Active stocks in the markets this week include Amazon.com, Inc.  (NASDAQ: AMZN), Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: PLRTF) (CSE: PRT), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS).

The ResearchAndMarkets report continued: «Based on the application, the medical supplies segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2019 owing to the increasing need for faster delivery of medicines required at the time of natural calamities and emergencies. On the other hand, the emergency services segment is expected to exhibit the fastest growth during the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for ambulance drones to deliver various drugs and devices in emergencies… The rising demand for courier services to transport lab specimens, paperwork, prescription medications, lab work, infusion medicine, and equipment are driving the market growth. On the other hand, drones delivery segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment, owing to the rising adoption of drones to transport blood and blood components during emergencies and disease outbreaks.»

Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (CSE: PRT.CNQ) (OTCQB: PLRTF)  BREAKING NEWS:  PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES IMMINENT COMPLETION OF MEDIMOD FOR EMERGENCY BIOLOGICAL AND VACCINE TRANSPORT –  Plymouth Rock Technologies («Plymouth Rock», «PRT», or the «Company»), a leader in developing threat detection and unmanned technologies, is pleased to announce the latest addition to its PRT X1 and XV UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) payload systems.

MediMod is an active insulated refrigerated storage module that will have multiple medical uses and advantages, including assisting with the immediate need for rapid deployment of COVID-19 vaccine transportation to remote sites or between medical facilities as part of multiple national campaigns for mass vaccination.

The transportation module will be dual-use and can be set for warm or cool state for the transportation of blood, human transplant organs and various vaccines across cities and remote destinations.

Whilst some vaccines must be stored at extreme temperatures and others less so, all must be in a state of refrigeration. In the case of vaccines and in particular inoculation for COVID-19, the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) regulations stipulate that storage unit temperatures must be monitored regularly and checked and recorded at the beginning of each workday to determine if any momentary removals have occurred since the last temperature check.

The PRT system differs significantly from the ‘cool-box’ approach. The PRT X1 MediMod has the benefit of using an integrated active cooling and heating system within a detachable module that is also thermally insulated. This will allow for 1,200 doses to be transported within the MediMod via the PRT X1 multirotor drone and 6,000 doses on the PRT XV fixed wing VTOL system.

«This isn’t a reactionary product to the COVID-19 outbreak. Our engineers and scientists were devising this module to address the need for blood and organ transport for the future phases of the UK National Health Service (NHS) Medical Air Corridor as part of ‘Project XCelerate'», stated Carl Cagliarini, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. We have already proved out the PRT X1 being used in emergency situations to deliver an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) system on the PRT X1 to remote and inaccessible locations. The MediMod, having an immediate use to assist in the deployment of vaccines, is an additional capability that adds a greater value proposition of its original intent of rapid biological transport. The module will attach to both X1 and XV unmanned platforms» concluded Cagliarini.

«This medical transport capability is not simply a matter of delivery to remote places, the daily reports of tens of thousands of vaccines spoiled because of logistics delays is a real issue» stated Dana Wheeler, Co-Founder and CEO of PRT. «Using MediMod ensures that vaccine efficacy remains intact beyond the simple delivery flight time. We believe that this capability will help tremendously here in the United States, South America and even more so in the developing world where the refrigeration issue over a 30–50-minute flight will make a real difference. We will of course be submitting updates of this capability to our contacts in Government, United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO)» concluded Wheeler.    Read this and more news for PRT at:  https://www.plyrotech.com/news/ 


Other recent developments in the tech industry include:

Amazon.com, Inc.  (NASDAQ: AMZN) recently announced its first-ever purchase of eleven Boeing 767-300 aircraft, expanding its fleet to continue to serve customers. The purchases include seven aircraft from Delta and four aircraft from WestJet, which will join the network by 2022. Amazon Air’s fleet expansion comes at a time when customers are relying on fast, free shipping more than ever.

«Our goal is to continue delivering for customers across the U.S. in the way that they expect from Amazon, and purchasing our own aircraft is a natural next step toward that goal,» said Sarah Rhoads, Vice President of Amazon Global Air. «Having a mix of both leased and owned aircraft in our growing fleet allows us to better manage our operations, which in turn helps us to keep pace in meeting our customer promises.»

Amazon Air plays a central role in delivering for customers by transporting items across longer distances in shorter timeframes. The four aircraft purchased from WestJet in March are currently undergoing passenger to cargo conversion and will join Amazon Air’s network in 2021, and the seven aircraft from Delta will enter Amazon’s air cargo network in 2022. These fleet additions will ensure added capacity in Amazon Air’s network for years to come. The company will continue to rely on third-party carriers to operate these new aircraft.

Novavax, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVAX), a biotechnology company developing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, recently announced memorandum of understanding with the Canadian government to produce NVX-CoV2373, the Company’s protein-based vaccine candidate against COVID-19 in Canada.

The report notes growing bipartisan support for policies that bring foreign businesses home, as the Biden administration works to promote domestic manufacturing and Congress has grappled with the country’s dependence upon Chinese-made personal protective equipment (PPE) during the pandemic. Moreover, 70 percent of firms say they will likely reshore in the coming years, according to a 2020 survey. For the U.S. to reclaim its manufacturing prowess, the authors call on policymakers to embrace a holistic reshoring strategy.

U.S. Set for Manufacturing Resurgence

«Firms are starting to recognize the growing costs and dwindling benefits of offshoring,» said Ross DeVol, president and CEO of Heartland Forward. «The U.S.—especially the Heartland—is still a great place to do business.»

«Decades after the U.S. lost its position as the world leader in manufacturing, the country could make a comeback, if lawmakers from both parties work together to shift the focus of our trade and industrial policies toward reshoring,» said Joel Kotkin, senior fellow of Heartland Forward and principal author of the report.

While PPE shortages in the early stages of the pandemic brought attention to the dire need to bring medical manufacturing capacity home, the report stresses that reshoring is a long-term priority. The authors survey the economic evidence and find that firms increasingly need secure supply chains, easier access to key markets and a more talented, educated workforce. Heartland states offer these advantages and more, consistently ranking among the most business friendly in the nation. Six of the top 11 engineering schools are based in the Heartland, and the region offers ready access to raw materials, lower costs of doing business and shorter supply chains.

«Over the past decade, we’ve seen the rate of job creation due to reshoring accelerate dramatically,» said David Shideler, chief economist at Heartland Forward and a co-author of the report. «Still, there must be a bipartisan effort to sustain this progress, and it must go beyond narrow measures like tariffs or bans. Investments in physical infrastructure and education, loans, grants and tax incentives for investors would all go a long way toward promoting reshoring.»

Heartland Forward notes that, before the onset of the pandemic, the annual rate of job creation due to reshoring accelerated from 6,000 in 2010, to over 400,000 in 2019. The full report, including more on this trend, can be found here.

2021 Housing Market Shaping Up to be Even Hotter than 2020

SEATTLE, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — (NASDAQ: RDFN) — The extreme pandemic-driven seller’s market is intensifying and will likely last through the first half of the year, according to a new report from Redfin (<a target="_blank"…

SEATTLE, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — (NASDAQ: RDFN) — The extreme pandemic-driven seller’s market is intensifying and will likely last through the first half of the year, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

In the week ending January 24, home-sale prices soared 18% and pending sales grew 28% from the same period last year. Fifty-five percent of homes that went under contract that week found a buyer in 14 days or less—the largest share to sell that quickly in at least nine years (Redfin data on this measure goes back through 2012).

«The main thing going on is scarcity of homes for sale. There’s nothing there, so people want it even more,» said Seattle Redfin real estate agent Scott Petrich. «Potential homebuyers who don’t have a good amount of savings are having a very hard time getting a house right now because the lack of supply is driving up prices, while low mortgage rates increase demand.»

Both the number of homes for sale—down 36% from a year ago during the week ending January 24—and the rate that new homes are being listed for sale—down 13%—are falling from last year’s already-low levels. The average home spent just 34 days on the market before selling—20 days less than the same time a year ago and also a record low for this time of year as far back as our data for this measure goes.

«There will continue to be a lack of new listings in early 2021,» said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. «But rock-bottom mortgage rates will have buyers eager to purchase the few listings that do hit the market. So I expect bidding wars, fast sales and double-digit price growth to continue. We are at a point in the pandemic where would-be sellers are expecting to be vaccinated in the next 6 months, so they may be waiting for that before selling. Once many more people are vaccinated for the coronavirus and more homeowners start to feel comfortable listing their homes for sale, the current deadlock of housing supply should start to loosen. Mortgage rates could inch up at the same time, which could bring a slight chill to the scorching-hot seller’s market.»

Homebuying demand, which typically slows through the winter, is 60% above where it was last year. This is according to the Redfin Homebuyer Demand Index, which measures requests to Redfin agents for homebuying services such as home tours and making offers to purchase a home.

«I don’t see the market slowing down at all in the next few months,» said Phoenix Redfin real estate agent Van Welborn. «People are confident in the market and people are buying homes. And it seems like nothing is holding them back: There was absolutely no slowdown for the holidays, the election didn’t affect anything, and the attack on the Capitol didn’t register on the housing market at all.»

While the hot market is largely only benefitting the few people who are selling their homes this winter, there are many people who simply couldn’t have afforded to buy a home within a short commute to work who are taking advantage of the flexibility of remote work and moving to where they can afford home prices and more space.

«It used to be that homebuyers who were priced out of the closer-in suburbs would look farther out for a home they could afford and compete for,» said Petrich. «Thanks to remote work, there has been a huge shift in homebuying demand to the farther-out, less expensive suburbs. It was very competitive before, but it has become much more intense now that people need more space.»
