Report Overview
The global small boats market attained a value of USD 34.60 Billion in 2025 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 10.80% through 2035. The market is further expected to achieve USD 96.49 Billion by 2035. Rising government funding for inland waterway patrols and rescue fleets is driving steady procurement of rugged small boats with standardized layouts, predictable maintenance, and long operating life cycles.
In January 2024, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, Mercury Marine, part of Brunswick Corporation officially introduced the Avator 75e and 110e electric outboard motors. These new models are the newest additions to Mercury’s all-electric propulsion range, which also features the Avator 7.5e, 20e, and 35e outboards. The launch has pushed OEMs to deliver quieter, lower maintenance propulsion, accelerating demand in the small boats market.
Manufacturers are now focusing on modular hull designs, lightweight composites, and simplified electronics to reduce ownership cost and speed up production cycles. Companies are integrating pre-rigged wiring, standardized consoles, and swappable propulsion packages, so dealers can customize faster. For example, in June 2022, India-based Yesen Sustain, a clean-tech company, launched a marine technology to equip boats and other watercraft with electric modular kits. Demand from fishing, patrol, and rental fleets is driving tougher hulls and easier repair, reshaping the small boats market trends and dynamics.
