The global demand for Hovercraft Market is presumed to reach the valuation of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% during the period of 2022-2028.
Hovercraft has become one of the easy and profitable means of transportation around the world. Hovercrafts are also referred as air cushion vehicles and are widely used for commercial and military applications. Hovercrafts can be operated on both land and water owing to which they find application in multiple areas. Hovercrafts are designed such that they often reach areas where conventional vehicles cannot be used. The hovercraft need both propulsion power and lift power for operating at a desired condition and speed. This can be achieved using various methods including the use of propulsors such as engines and lift fans. Depending upon their design a hovercraft is classified in various types such as: skirted hovercraft, Captured air bubble aircraft, simple plenum chamber hovercraft, sidewall hovercraft, peripheral jet hovercraft, recirculation hovercraft and trunked annular hovercraft. The hovercraft manufacturers are now focusing on designing the hovercrafts in such a way that they are capable to attain high speeds in harsh industrial and commercial environments.
Market Dynamics
Hovercrafts are most commonly used for exploring narrow waterways where conventional motorboats cannot be reached, military services, survey work and oil spill cleanup. Owing to this the demand of hovercrafts is anticipated to increase over the coming years. Moreover, hovercraft manufacturers are focusing on designing technologically advanced and lightweight hovercrafts which have high speeds and better maneuverability characteristics. This is one of the prime reasons which would attract new customers for exploring waterways and boost up the sales of hovercrafts over the forecast period. Increasing deployment of hovercrafts in military applications will further give a necessary boost to the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, many countries are focusing on investing in development of muli-passenger aircrafts. This would further increase the demand of hovercrafts for rescue purposes and promote the anticipated growth of the hovercraft market over the forecast period. Though hovercrafts are used in numerous applications, they suffer from many disadvantages including lack of lateral control, noisy operation and utilization of lot of power for operation. This decreases the working efficiency of hovercrafts and increase their operating costs. This could have a negative impact on the demand of hovercraft over the forecast period which would subsequently derail the anticipated growth of hovercraft market over the forecast period.
