With leisure boating emerging as a favored recreational activity among this affluent demographic, the market's expansion is heavily influenced by the global HNWI population's size and distribution.

Originally concentrated in the Western world, HNWIs have expanded their presence across various regions worldwide, driving spending on luxury items, including recreational boats.
