Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Fishing Reels Market

The ongoing pandemic has drastically altered the status of the chemical and materials sector and negatively impacted the growth of the fishing reels market. Implementing various measures to combat the spread of the virus has aggravated the situation and impacted several industrial sectors' growth. The shutdown of manufacturing units, difficulty in procuring raw materials, and restrictions on imports and exports have hampered the market considerably. The lockdowns and movement restrictions are causing massive shipping delays in Asia Pacific, where most fishing reels are manufactured. For instance, China is a key manufacturing hub of fishing reels, and, due to the pandemic, the Chinese ports were operating at 40, 50, or 60% capacities between 2020 and 2021.

Introducing the COVID-19 vaccine has eased the situation to some extent, leading to a rise in business activities across the world. Also, with relaxation in Covid-19 related norms, people are increasingly getting involved in leisure activities, and the demand for fishing gear, including reels, has risen. As per the study conducted by the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation in 2021, 55 million Americans went fishing in 2020, among which 4.4 million went fishing the first time, which is a 42% increase. An increase in fishing activities and a rise in rookie anglers are expected to increase the demand for fishing reels, most commonly spinning reels. This, in turn, is likely to keep the demand for fishing reels high, thereby positively impacting the market over the next few years.

Market InsightsRising Awareness Regarding Different Fishing Reels

A fishing reel is a mechanical device linked to a fishing rod that uses a revolving arm to store, release, and collect the fishing line. Most anglers prefer a specific style of fishing reel based on their location, target species of fish, budget, and level of experience. Beginners usually prefer or opt for spinning reels, also known as spinners as they are relatively priced low and are easy to use. They are widely available and are the most widely adopted type of fishing reel across the globe. Professional anglers opt for baitcasting reels, and this segment is expected to register high growth during the forecast period.

The spinning reel is quite popular among anglers of all levels due to its superior open-faced design, providing the required adaptability while offering excellent usability and accuracy. In reality, the design allows the spool to have an extensive line capacity while being simple to switch lines as needed. Therefore, it is essential to equip the fishing rod with the appropriate reel because each type of fishing reel requires a distinct skill level and function. Thus, the rising awareness regarding the use and benefits of different types of fishing reels is driving the market substantially.

Type Insights Based on the type, the fishing reels market is segmented into spinning reels, baitcasting reels, spin-cast reels, and other reels.
