Today’s marine fabrication market

U.S. marine aftermarket accessory sales more than doubled from $1.2 billion in 1997 to $2.8 billion in 2006.

Domestic new boat sales were very slow in 2009—down 34% for YE-September. This has helped to fuel demand for aftermarket products and refurbishing of existing marine craft. The overall U.S. growth rate in 2008 for marine fabricators was down 6.0% and is expected to be down 10-15% in 2009. The market is expected to climb back somewhat in 2010—the growth rate for marine fabricators should decline by only 5-10% as the economy continues to improve versus 2009.
