Recreational Boat & Yacht building in Italy Industry Data and Analysis
The recreational boat and yacht building industry has registered a mixed performance, mainly because of pandemic-related disruptions. The sector's most important market is high-net-worth individuals around the world. The wealthy increasingly acquire yachts, and the super-rich even opt for giga yachts that are over 100 meters long. The increasing spread of the income gap in favour of the already rich and high-income earners is a highly positive development from the industry's point of view, as it means that the buying power of the core target group is increasing in proportion. However, sinking disposable incomes have recently weighed on the motorboat segment.
