Overview

The Japanese marine industry is small and the domestic market is at a developing stage. While Japan’s import market is very small, the country exports quite a number of boat engines. U.S. government and U.S. industry association coordination with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) and the Japan Craft Inspection Organization (JCI) has resolved a number of regulatory difficulties, but some obstacles still remain. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, Japan is currently the world’s 11th largest boat market, and it should expand with overall economic growth. Another factor that will spur growth will be the retirement of post-war baby-boomers who have extra money and will be looking to spend on leisure activities like boating.

　

 

Market

There are seven boat engine firms for every boating company in Japan, and the engine industry continues to be an important sector in the Japan market.

The size of Japan’s boating market, which includes sailboats, inboard/sterndrive motor boats, other rigid boats, inflatable boats over 2.5 m and 20 kg, and PWC, increased across the board in 2012 compared to the previous year. Boat production, imports, as well as boat exports were strong. Much of the boost came as many people replaced boats damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the tsunami. The duel disasters also created opportunities to rebuild some marinas, which were previously built exclusively for the fishing industry. New marinas are now built to appeal to recreational users as well.

BOAT SHOWS IN ITALY

 

ITALY is listed in the NMMA Power Boat International Resource Guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

　

 

Overview

According to the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA), there are 10 recreational craft per 1,000 inhabitants in Italy, for a total of over 600,000. Following record sales in 2007, Italy has seen a dramatic drop in domestic demand since 2008 mainly due to the economic crisis, a severe tax regime and high mooring costs. A comparison of data from 2008 through 2012 shows that turnover decreased by nearly 60 percent. Italian shipbuilders have turned to foreign markets and, as a result, a record 90 percent of domestic production is now exported. The crisis has also affected imports, which have dropped by 65 percent over the same period—in 2009, 35,000 workers were employed in the nautical industry; today, there are only 19,000.

Market

Following record domestic sales through 2007, the downturn has caused Italian shipbuilders to focus on international and emerging markets where Italian brands are well received. An upturn on the domestic front will depend on a boost in consumer confidence that is yet to be seen. The super yacht segment, however, continues its positive trend as Italy maintains its leading role holding 39 percent of worldwide orders.
