    INTRODUCTION

    Over the next decade or so, the superyacht industry can expect steady progress in both boatbuilding and brokerage markets, with generic growth likely to check the destabilizing shocks of geopolitical events and moderate the unsettling headwinds of global market movements.

     

    The market is thriving, but there are a few storm clouds on the horizon that threaten to interrupt the upward curve. Covid-19 has affected supply chains around the world. The pandemic has resulted in delays in delivery and big increases in the cost of raw materials such as steel, aluminum and resin for composite builds at a time when demand was at its highest. 

     

    The pre-owned market is just as active as new builds. In the first half of 2021, more than 380 used yachts over 24 meters were sold, which is close to double the number over the same period the previous year. 

     

    Electronic components were the most affected, which is causing some delays in our deliveries. This directly impacted on the production by reducing it to a certain level. But many builders still tried to anticipate orders and deliveries as much as they could.

     

    The demand for Superyachts increased during the pandemic. Some buyers invoke social distancing, while others, an existential awakening. A deeper reason for the demand is the widening imbalance of wealth. 

     

    The Millionaires and billionaires are fighting over slots to get their new yachts built, with building slots booked until 2025, which is only driving demand for the vessels further.

     

    However, to avoid being left behind with other businesses in the manufacturing sector, the industry will need to follow its fortunes in emerging markets (EM).

    SUPERYACHT MARKET DYNAMICS

     

    A superyacht owner spends 10-12% of the cost of the yacht annually to operate, including maintenance and repair. Therefore, policies related to higher and cross utilization of superyachts across countries could be a welcome move. Australia has recently taken a step in this direction.

     

    The Northern European countries are especially known for building fully custom and semi-custom motor and sailing yachts. The Netherlands and Germany top the yachting industry for delivering yachts over 50m with large volume and a high value.

     

    The rapid growth of digitalisation in the yachting sector is revolutionizing different areas of superyacht management, design, operation and efficiency, changing the guest and crew onboard experience, enhancing elite racing performance, improving safety and cyber security and increasing accessibility to worldwide and remote cruising.

     

    With ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions in the UK by 2035 and in the EU by 2050, the superyacht industry only has a limited amount of time to start producing yachts powered by suitable energy sources, especially when considering the lengthy design and build lead times.

      

    Post-Covid, many companies in the superyacht industry are still facing financial headwinds, so they may opt to do more online meetings from a cost perspective. The tremendous amount of air travel taking place in the superyacht industry is both time-consuming and polluting, so there are also gains to be made from both an efficiency standpoint and an environmental point of view.

     

    The MYS Yacht Design & Innovation Hub once again has SuperYacht Times as a media partner.  On the docks of Virage Chiron, where the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub is housed at the MYS, as well as inside the 200 square-meter display space itself, some 25 yacht designers will be showcasing their most recent creations.

     

    Live presentations will be conducted during the event in the brand-new 100 square metre conference room, which will be hosted in partnership with SuperYacht Times. Visitors to the Yacht Design & Innovation Hub will be given information on current and upcoming trends as well as cutting-edge design or sustainability solutions. Over the course of the four days of the Monaco Yacht Show, about 20 seminars will be hosted in total.

     

    SUPERYACHT DESIGN TRENDS

     

    Previously, the use of glass was restricted because it was heavy, but now with better technology, glasses are being used to improve the structural styling of yachts, and not just doors and windows.

     

    Ambient lighting and focus lighting has always been an important area of superyacht interior designers but now with growing LED usage, multi-colored lighting can be applied to previously inaccessible spaces.

     

    Textiles/Fabrics are an important element in the interior design .Now, there is quite a lot of flexibility in customization (color,thickness) available in fabric/leather which was just not there a decade ago.

     

    The push for more sustainable materials also comes with a greater need to retain the best parts of a classic yacht interior. Luxury yachts are seeing more unique and varied interior designs that blend modernity with tradition.

     

    The layout of super yachts continues to change each year, and there’s now a greater emphasis on specificity by yacht clients from around the world. Different lifestyles can mean less formulaic interior designs and greater emphasis on certain features. 

     

    SUPERYACHT MARKET SIZE AND FORECAST

     

    The global superyacht market is estimated at $xx Billion annually, growing at xx% CAGR by 2030.

     

    Mediterranean has remained the most popular cruising region globally but now as more tourists explore Southeast Asia, there is a growing charter market for superyachts in the Thailand-Malaysia-Indonesia coastal region.But, the infrastructure to service and operate superyachts in this region is not that well developed.

     

    The 24-60 meter superyacht segment account for ~xx% of global superyacht PARC.

     

    60-120 Meter superyachts also account for a significant share of global superyacht PARC as well as under construction order-book.But, >120M segment has been growing at a Steady rate for the past 5 years. About 70% of global superyachts in production are built in Italy.

     

    The >100 meter ( gigayacht) category is still very niche and till date there are less than 60 Giga Yachts in existence or less than 1% of the global superyacht fleet.

     

    The US is although the world`s biggest boat market has a very limited superyacht building industry.

     

    More than 80% superyachts in operation are motor powered and the remaining are sail powered.About ~20-25% of superyachts in production are sailboats and the remaining are motorboats.

     

    In the <60 meters segment, Italy is the leader in superyacht manufacturing, with ~50% global production share.
