Posted by Arslan on March 25th, 2019

Coast guard authorities across all oceanic fronts in the world restrict the boarding of recreational vessels (boats) or participating into watersports activities in the absence of proper-sized life jackets, which are in good and serviceable conditions. Similar to how skydivers wear parachutes, football players have their helmets and professional car racers have to put their seat belts on, life jackets will continue to remain a prerequisite for partaking in many watersports events such as rafting, windsurfing or kayaking. The report, compiled by Fact.MR, provides in-depth analysis of the global life jacket market for the forecast period 2017-2022, and offers key insights about future market direction.

Developed regions such as Europe and North America have witnessed a considerable rise in terms of participation in watersports, over the past few years. Core boating activities such as kayaking or rafting are gaining popularity, and with that, propelling the need for effective and basic protective gear such as life jackets. As majority of watersports professionals fall under the younger demographics, higher tendency of accidental tripping and falling overboard has necessitated the use of life jackets. Although, manufacturers of life jackets are struggling to balance their annual net gains due to seasonal participation in watersports industry. Moreover, activities such as sailboat racing, yacht cruising, canoeing and motor boating are gaining commercialization due to involvement of owners of private water bodies. Overall, increasing popularity of a majority of watersport events is likely to translate impressive revenues in the global market for life jackets.

Being a sleeveless, inflatable and buoyant vest that keeps the wearer afloat in water, a life jacket is personal flotation device that is the single-most important piece of protective gear used in watersports and other aquatic activities. Life jackets are worn over the upper body, and are designed to hold up the torso of the wearer above water, eliminating the risk of drowning.

According to Fact.MR, the global market for life jackets will soar at a moderate CAGR, raking revenues worth over US$ 2,500 Mn by the end of 2022. Demand for life jackets is expected to witness promising growth on the account of rising use in nautical tourism.

End-use Tussle – Watersports vs Paddle Sports

Key findings from the market study reveal that a majority of life jackets in the world are used in watersports. However, against the popular belief, the end-use of life jackets is not limited to watersports. According to the report, global sales of life jackets across watersports end-users will be witnessing a robust growth at 5.5% CAGR through 2022. While the use of life jackets in commercial vessels, day sailing, fishing, and offshore sailing is also gaining traction, the market is expected to witness impressive growth in the end-use of life jackets across paddle sports. Although, this segment is expected to witness less than 10% share in the global life jacket market, paddle sports as an end-use of life jackets will create a global incremental opportunity of over US$ 38 Mn between 2017 and 2022.
