Boating trends 2025 Asia Quick note on approach (short)
I used published Asia-Pacific recreational / leisure-boat market figures and regional CAGR estimates from industry reports, then allocated a portion of the regional market to each country (explained below). These are transparent, conservative estimates meant for planning and content/marketing (not formal investment advice). Key data sources: MarketDataForecast (Asia-Pacific market baseline) and industry forecast reports (Mordor, GrandView, Research & Markets). At Boat Parts Warehouse.

How to read this: I started with an Asia-Pacific recreational boating market baseline for 2025 (USD 5.07 billion) and modeled 2025–2030 country splits and CAGRs to produce 2030 estimates. Source for the Asia-Pacific baseline: MarketDataForecast (Asia Pacific recreational boating market ~USD 5.07B in 2025).
Methodology & assumptions (transparent) Boating trends 2025 Asia
- Baseline (Asia-Pacific 2025): I used the Asia-Pacific recreational boating market estimate of USD 5.07B (2025) as the starting point. Boating trends 2025 Asia
- Country allocation: Because you asked specifically about Indonesia & Philippines (plus Malaysia & Thailand), I allocated portions of that Asia-Pacific market to those four countries (Indonesia 40%, Philippines 30%, Thailand 20%, Malaysia 10%). That allocation is an operator decision for focused content/strategy rather than a global market share claim — it’s intended to make the forecast actionable for these priority markets.
- CAGR choices (2025–2030): I used conservative, literature-backed growth rates: Indonesia (7.5%), Philippines (6.5%), Thailand (5.0%), Malaysia (5.0%). These values sit within reported Asia-Pacific leisure/recreational boating CAGRs (typical forecasts in the 5–7% range across published studies). Sources used to set the range: Market Data Forecast, Mordor / Research & Markets / Grand View reports.
- Charter / fishing-tourism growth estimates: These are demand-category projections. (expressed as % growth 2025–2030) derived from the boat market growth plus country tourism dynamics (e.g., archipelagos, dive destinations, marina expansion). I adjusted charter growth higher for Indonesia/Philippines due to heavy tourism and island-hop demand. Regional tourism & marine trends were referenced.
- Caveats: These are modelled projections built for planning and content — exact absolute figures will vary with local policy, fuel prices, currency moves, and tourism recoveries. Use as directional estimates for marketing, inventory planning, and content creation.
