The latest annual statistics book from ICOMIA (International Council of Marine Industry Associations) is now available, providing the recreational marine industry with the only reliable global boating statistics on the market.
The newest edition of ICOMIA’s statistics book contains information from 23 major marine leisure markets in the world, estimated to represent over 90% of the global business in the sector.
Data has been collated in standard format for ease of cross-reference and comparison. Also included are specific detailed national reports from 23 countries, trade data for 35 countries, Super Yacht Statistics reproduced courtesy of Show Boats International/Boat International Media and engine sales statistics. The statistics are based on information from 2010.
In addition to this, the ICOMIA Statistics Book offers trend line graphs showing boat production; outboard engine sales and diesel engine sales over the past eight years for Finland, Japan, New Zealand and USA.
Over the years ICOMIA has continued to improve the process of gathering statistics in a fragmented and diversified industry that mainly is composed of small companies. The resulting information is used extensively within the industry and as a reference by those on the fringe, interested in investing or needing to work with the sector.
Today ICOMIA’s annual statistics are widely acknowledged as the only authoritative and reliable source of information available on the worldwide recreational boating industry.
“I am proud to say that the ICOMIA Statistics Book offers a unique insight into the worldwide recreational boating industry which can be absolutely priceless,” says ICOMIA Secretary General Tony Rice.
