The Global Aluminium Fishing Boat Market was valued at USD 1.7 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2034. The market growth is largely driven by the increasing popularity of recreational fishing, as well as the expansion of inland and freshwater fishing areas. More people are engaging in outdoor activities, particularly as nature-based tourism gains momentum. Aluminium boats are becoming the preferred option due to their lightweight design, fuel efficiency, and long-lasting durability.
With government initiatives promoting angling tourism and enhancing freshwater fishing infrastructure, these boats are now transitioning from niche tools to mainstream recreational assets, leading to increased demand in both developed and emerging markets. The surge in recreational boating, particularly among younger individuals and families, is also reshaping the market. Consumers are increasingly seeking boats that offer flexibility and ease of use in various freshwater environments such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. Manufacturers are responding to this demand by introducing customizable features and improved ergonomic designs to meet diverse consumer needs.
In 2024, the deep-V boat segment led the market with a 30.2% share and is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2025-2034. Deep-V aluminium boats are favored for their stability, versatility, and high performance, particularly among recreational anglers. These boats perform well in choppy waters, offering enhanced control and speed, making them ideal for inland lakes, large rivers, and even nearshore coastal regions. They are also popular among sports anglers, fishing guides, and enthusiasts who seek long trips or need multi-purpose boats for varied fishing conditions.
In 2024, the 16-18 feet boat segment accounted for 37% share and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2025 to 2034. These boats offer a practical balance of space and maneuverability, making them the top choice for recreational anglers and small fishing operations. Their size makes them easy to tow, store, and navigate in both freshwater and inland waters. They are also popular due to their affordability and versatility, supporting a range of fishing activities and offering numerous configurations such as rod holders and live wells.
