Analyst Perspective
Growing concerns about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and rising inclination toward recreational boating in the tourism sector are expected to drive the demand for electric boats over the forecast period. In addition, supportive government initiatives for controlling GHG emissions are expected to boost the demand for electric boats. For instance, in Europe, the UK became the first G7 country to target net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, including adopting electric boats and vehicles. Research and developments to improve battery capacity and durability and customizations of hybrid boats to boost efficiency and operational capabilities are supporting market growth. In addition, the rising emphasis on eco-friendly or fully electric boats to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is contributing to the growth of the 40-Ft Electric Boat Market. For instance, in June 2021, South Korea’s first commercialized hydrogen-electric boat was launched at the 2021 Busan International Boat Show by Danfoss.
Market Overview
Electric boats are marine vessels that utilize electric propulsion systems for their operation. These boats rely on battery power to drive the rotor and achieve optimal speed. The key components of an electric boat include the electric charger, battery bank, controller, and electric motor. One of the major advantages of electric boats is their reliance on clean energy, resulting in zero emissions. The global 40-Ft Electric Boat Market is witnessing substantial growth due to the increasing popularity of seaborne activities and the thriving marine tourism industry. The key market players are engaged in developing technologically advanced electric boats. For instance, X Shore offers one model called Eelex 8000, equipped with a 120-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and an electrical inboard motor, with a top speed of 35 knots and a range of 35 nautical miles at 20–24 knots. The Eelex 8000 is eight meters long, has a conventional planning hull, and is designed for a functional boating life, with open spaces and a steering wheel with a sunroof in the middle. Electric boat companies are growingly focusing on improving battery efficiencies and range by enhancing charging infrastructure. The presence of large number of electric boat manufacturers are competing at large scale primarily based on charging technology (features) and availability of presence across the globe.

Market Driver
Increasing Network for Charging Points in Marine Infrastructure for Small Boats to Drive Growth of 40-Ft Electric Boat Market
In Europe and North America, there has been a significant rise in the demand for electric boats, mainly due to the increasing number of leisure boats and watersport activities. Growing tourism and rising fishing activities are expected to boost the demand for electric boats. In addition, the development of speedboats is expected to fuel innovations in charging infrastructure. The average speed of an electric speedboat is around 60 mph (100 km/h). Major global speedboat manufacturers include Candela, X Shore, and Orust E-boats. Further, the increasing government support for the electrification of leisure boats is expected to boost the demand for a network of charging stations across marine lines or seaports. For instance,, the Swedish government plans to speed up the electrification of the transport sector to reach the climate goals with emission control, including projects for electricity roads, marine infrastructure for charging, and an electrification commission by 2030. The major focus on electrification of all transportation type is expected to contribute to the demand for electric boats.
In addition, the increasing collaboration between market players to build charging stations is a key factor contributing to the growth of the 40-Ft Electric Boat Market. To electrify leisure boats, cities, municipalities, and companies along the European coastline have taken many projects and initiatives. For instance, in 2021, Candela partnered with solar energy supplier Nordsol Energi to install and develop charging stations for electric leisure boats in different key areas in Stockholm, Sweden. Similarly, in June 2020, in Norway, under the initiative "The Green Tail," a network of charging points was established in marinas along the coast around Bergen and the surrounding municipalities in Norway. Further, the Norwegian Coastal Administration has created a web solution that provides an overview of all charging points, shore power plants, LNG plants, etc. Thus, an increasing number of investments in establishing charging stations at seaports is anticipated to fuel the demand for electric boats during the forecast period.
Segmental Analysis
Based on the battery type, the market is segmented into nickel based, lead acid, and lithium-ion. Lithium-ion battery segment held the largest share of the market in 2020 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR in the market during the forecast period. Lithium-ion battery is most prominent and advanced solution for the electric boats, as it offer enhanced performance and storage capacity with limited space. A lithium-ion battery features smaller, lighter, long-lasting, and faster-charging features. Lithium-ion boat battery is gaining popularity because it excels significantly at high-performance battery tasks and is suitable for storing high-capacity power. In October 2021, Electric Fuel—a leading manufacturer of professional high-performance batteries—launched its new 48V high energy density lithium-ion marine battery at the METSTRADE 2021 show. These new marine-grade smart batteries offer four times more energy than traditional lead-acid batteries of a comparable size. Also, these batteries are largely used in commercial marine applications, supporting rigid-hulled inflatable boats, yachts, and racing sailboats. However, sensitivity to high temperatures and vulnerability to external factors are among the major factors limiting the adoption of lithium-ion batteries in electric boats. In October 2019, the Norwegian Maritime Authority published an alert concerning a small fire that erupted in a passenger ferry after a gas explosion on board in Norway. The authority warned operators, shipowners, and other stakeholders about the dangers associated with lithium-ion battery systems.
Regional Analysis
The electric boat in North America was valued at US$ 2.1 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 5.4 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% from 2022 to 2028. The US, Canada, and Mexico are among the major countries in North America.

However, from the second half of 2020, the market is witnessing growth due to the reliving of travel bans.
Furthermore, key players in North America are improving the production processes of electric boats and taking several strategic initiatives to increase the penetration of electric boats. For instance, In May 2021, Limestone Boat Company and Vision Marine Technologies, which produces outboard engines, entered a strategic partnership to develop electric outboard motors. Also, the partnership aims to increase production from 400 to 510 powerboats by the end of 2022. In March 2022, Aqua superPower and X Shore, a Swedish climate technology company and electric boat manufacturer, announced a strategic alliance to expedite electric boat adoption across the region and provide an accessible app to 150 kW superchargers specifically engineered and rated to use in marine environments. Such initiatives fuel the 40-Ft Electric Boat Market growth in North America.
With providing higher speeds that helps lift the boat hull, as well as available in a longer range; demand for electric boats is growing tremendously. Also, companies in the market innovate, design, manufacture, and sell handcrafted and environmentally friendly electric recreational power boats. Cruising, water-sports, and fishing are some of the most popular and preferable activities among citizens. The market caters to several opportunities for the vendors toward expanding 40-Ft Electric Boat Market in the country. In November 2021, Arc Boat Company, which has a team of former SpaceX engineers invested US$ 30 million in venture capital financing and built a luxury power boats in Los Angeles, US. However, switching to an all-electric boat model across several individual boat owners or ferry operators has become a challenging factor and higher expenses stopping most prospective buyers, even with the lower maintenance and energy costs. In February 2021, National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) has announced NMEA 2000 certification for its new CANverter gateway device provided by VETUS, which is a complete boat systems supplier. In addition, the launch of the CANverter enables connection of the proprietary VETUS Controller Area Network (V-CAN) into the NMEA 2000 network. These growing number of initiatives and investment thereby propels the market growth in the country.
