선내기 시장 : 시장 기회, 성장 요인, 업계 동향 분석 및 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Inboard Boat Market was valued at USD 4.24 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% to reach USD 7.36 billion by 2034.

The market is expanding owing to increasing recreational boating, technological innovations, and rising disposable incomes. Inboard engines, including advanced V-drive and direct-drive systems, are known for their high performance, efficiency, and durability. Modern inboard propulsion is increasingly integrated with technologies that optimize hull designs, fuel consumption, torque output, and overall vessel performance. Regulatory frameworks such as the EPA Tier 3/4 in the United States, IMO MARPOL Annex VI globally, and EU RCD2 in Europe are pushing OEMs to adopt low-NOx combustion technologies, closed-loop fuel control, and advanced catalytic treatment systems. For example, the EPA Tier 3 standards, effective from 2024, mandate a 60% reduction in NOx emissions and a 50% reduction in particulate matter for engines exceeding 600 hp. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted supply chains, affecting market dynamics in the short term.

The seagoing segment held a 68% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2025 to 2034. Seagoing inboard boats operate in coastal, offshore, and blue-water conditions that demand engines capable of withstanding saltwater corrosion, long-range operations, and rough waves. These vessels often feature dual-engine sport fishing systems between 500-1000 hp, single or dual diesel engines ranging from 200-600 hp for cruisers and trawlers, and high-powered multi-engine configurations.

The leisure segment held a 55% share in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% through 2034. This segment covers recreational vessels for activities such as cruising, fishing, and water sports. These boats generally experience low annual usage of 50-100 hours, with consumer decisions heavily influenced by operational costs, purchase price, lifestyle, and aspirational preferences.

U.S. Inboard Boat Market generated USD 1.89 billion in 2024. The market growth is influenced by technical innovations and regulatory drivers, including EPA Tier 3 standards that reduce NOx and particulate matter emissions. Gasoline engines require three-way catalytic converters, while diesel engines over 600 hp utilize selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. States along the Gulf Coast and Florida show high demand for offshore fishing boats equipped with twin diesel inboard engines optimized for extended operations.

Key players in the Global Inboard Boat Market include Azimut-Benetti, BAVARIA Yachts, Fairline Yachts, Ferretti, Groupe Beneteau, Malibu Boats, MasterCraft Boat, Princess Yachts International, Sanlorenzo, Sunseeker International, and Yamaha. Market leaders focus on innovation in engine efficiency, propulsion systems, and hull design to improve fuel economy, torque output, and overall vessel performance. Companies invest heavily in R&D to integrate digital technologies, including engine diagnostics, navigation systems, and IoT-enabled performance monitoring. Strategic collaborations with marina operators, distributors, and luxury yacht builders help expand market reach and improve after-sales services. Regional expansions and manufacturing facility upgrades enable companies to meet growing demand and comply with strict emission regulations. Marketing efforts emphasize lifestyle and leisure appeal to attract aspirational consumers.
