The global snorkeling equipment market is anticipated to grow at a steady rate and will post a CAGR of close to 2% during the forecast period. The low training cost associated with snorkeling activity will drive the growth prospects for the global snorkeling equipment market during the forecast period. Snorkeling is a popular recreational activity that can be enjoyed by anyone who has access to the ocean, a lake, a river, or a pond. Unlike other activities such as the scuba diving, it does not require any complicated equipment, training, and certifications and is one of the major factors that foster the market’s growth.
Furthermore, another activity known as the skin diving is a specific kind of snorkeling that requires the divers to hold their breath underwater to observe aquatic life and explore marine species. Several training courses are available to instruct skin diver enthusiasts such as the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Skin Diver. Some of the techniques that are covered by the course are checking buoyancy, surface swimming, clearing water from the snorkel, and performing effortless surface dives.
In terms of geography, the Americas accounted for the maximum market share during 2015 and will continue to dominate the market in the coming years. Some of the factors that encourage snorkeling activities in the region are the presence of a large number of snorkeling sites, increased awareness of a healthy lifestyle, and the growing number of snorkelers. Also, since snorkeling activity is one of the important sports in the US, it accounts for a major portion of the market’s revenue. Another factor that drives the market’s growth is the increasing adoption of new technologies by the companies to offer a better and eco-friendly equipment.
The market is highly fragmented due to the presence of a large number of big and mid-sized competitors. The market vendors are adopting advanced technological methods to produce snorkeling equipment that leads to an increased demand for the equipment. Also, because of the growing interests in water sports activities, the production capacity of equipment is increasing. Furthermore, the competitors are competing based on factors such as the price, quality, brand, and variety.
