Overview

The Netherlands has boat builders of all sizes. There are 521,000 boats currently in use.

Polyester boats, especially sail boats, are popular, but the majority of Dutch boats are diesel powered, steel, displacement type, freshwater, family boats, averaging 26 feet to 36 feet in length.

The 2012 turnover for the Dutch shipbuilding industry was €6.1 billion, a slight decrease compared to the 2010 turnover of €6.2 billion. However, in 2012, there were 29,450 workers employed, a significant decrease compared to the 33,000 who were employed in 2010.

When a new company wants to enter the Dutch Boat market, their average cost per unit will be very high. This will decrease as they expand, but the company needs to have sufficient capital to enter the market.

New market entrants need sufficient capital to start up, and must be prepared for costs related to equipment, construction, and raw materials. The shipbuilding and repair industry is a capital-intensive business, requiring extensive initial capital to enter the industry and meet subsequent outfitting and technological requirements. These factors provide substantial barriers to entry for new manufacturing.
