For instance, there is increasing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable watercrafts, as electric boats produce zero emissions and have a low environmental impact, and there is rising interest in recreational boating and water sports activities, particularly among younger generations. Additionally, advancements in electric motor and battery technology are also making electric pontoon boats more efficient, reliable, and affordable. Hence, supporting the market’s growth.

Segmental Outlook

The global electric pontoon boats market is segmented by motor type and application. Based on motor type, the market is sub-segmented into inboard motor and outboard motor. Based on application, the market is sub-segmented into sports, fishing, and others such as cruising, water transportation, and water safety and rescue, among others. Among applications, the others segment is expected to hold the largest market share, followed by fishing, since cruising, family outings, and other water activities are becoming more common and widespread.

The Outboard Motor Segment Holds a Prominent Share in the Global Electric Pontoon Boats Market

Based on motor type, the market is sub-segmented into inboard motor and outboard motor. Among these, the outboard motor segment is expected to hold the largest market share. In general, outboard motors are more commonly used in electric pontoon boats than inboard motors. This is because outboard motors are easier to install and maintain, and they provide better maneuverability and speed control. Additionally, the weight of the outboard motor is not carried by the boat itself, which allows for more efficient use of space and weight distribution on the pontoon boat. However, there are some electric pontoon boats that use inboard motors, particularly in larger and more luxurious models where space and design are a priority.
