Personal Flotation Device Market

Personal Flotation Device Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Product (Offshore Life Jacket, Near-Shore Buoyant Vest, Flotation Aid, Throwable Devices, and Special-Use Devices), By End-User (Aquaculture Industry, Oil & Gas Industry, Naval Industry, and Others), By Distribution Channel (Specialty Stores, Company-Owned Outlets, and Online Channels), Forecast Period (2022-2028)

Published: Jul 2022 | Report Code: OMR2026946 | Category : Consumer Goods | Delivery Format: /

Personal flotation device market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. One of the key factors that are fuelling the market growth is the government laws and regulations about work protection in coastal areas and while using boats. For instance, as per the US Coast Guard and federal law, a recreational ship must contain life vests for each present on the board. Moreover, as per California law, every under 13 years old child on a moving recreational container of any length must wear a life jacket approved by the Coast Guard in serviceable condition and of a size and type appropriate for the activity and the conditions. This has necessitated the use of personal flotation devices. 

Segmental Outlook 

The global personal flotation device market is segmented based on the product, end-user, and distribution channel. Based on the product, the market is segmented into offshore life jackets, near-shore buoyant vests, flotation aid, throwable devices, and special-use devices. Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into the aquaculture industry, oil & gas industry, naval industry, and others. Based on the distribution channel, the market is segmented into specialty stores, company-owned outlets, and online channels. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements. Based on product, an off-shore life jacket is anticipated to grow significantly in the market owing to its high use in commercial boats, while, based on distribution channel, specialty stores are anticipated to hold a prominent share during the forecast period owing to the high availability of these stores.

Based on the product, an off-shore life jacket is anticipated to grow significantly in the market during the forecast period. Off-shore life jackets are normally used in commercial boats, and these jackets are designed for turning an unconscious person in the water to a vertical or slightly reclining position. Its high usability has increased its demand in the market which has increased market players' participation. For instance, in August 2021, Viking, a safety equipment firm, launched a new lifejacket for the wind energy and oil & gas market. These inflatable lifejackets were named "VIKING YouSafe Vanguard”, and were developed to meet (275N) offshore industry standards. The new lifejacket was approved by SOLAS/MED and CE/ISO-accredited.

Regional Outlook

The global personal flotation device market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America).  The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. North America region is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market owing to the existing uptrend in the domestic boating industry, while, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a high rate during the forecast period owing to enlarged coastal security threats from sea routes.

North America Region Holds Prominent Share in the Global Personal Flotation Device Market

North America region is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market owing to the existing uptrend in the domestic boating industry in the region. People are electing to do more watersports in their country rather than in other countries. Such an ongoing trend has been boosting the demand for boats, and other equipment such as personal flotation devices, domestically. As per the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), retail unit sales of new powerboats in the US exceeded units of 300,000 for 2 consecutive years throughout 2020 and 2021. Moreover, NMMA has publicized that the year 2022 will be positive, and an increase in the sales volume of new boats may occur by 3% as compared to 2021. Additionally, as per the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in November 2020, each year, nearly 100 million Americans do boating. Outdoor recreation made up around 2.1% of the US GDP and created $788 billion in real gross output. Fishing and boating are the leading outdoor recreation activities in the country, totaling near to $23.6 billion.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global personal flotation device market include Helly Hansen AS, Johnson Outdoors Inc., Kent Water Sports, LLC (Onyx), Marine Rescue Technologies, and Newell Brands, Inc.
