Product Definition:
A Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) is a boat made of an inflatable rubber hull with a rigid frame. The boat can be inflated or deflated, depending on the needs of the user. RHIBs are often used as rescue boats, because they are lightweight and easy to transport. They can also be used for military purposes, such as transporting troops or equipment.
Inflatable Keel Boats:
Inflatable keel boats (IKBs) are a type of rigid-hulled inflatable boat. They have a large, flat surface that acts as a keel and provides stability to the craft. The IKBs are available in various sizes ranging from 4 m up to 20 m. The larger variants can accommodate up to 8 people while smaller ones can carry only 2 or 3 people at a time.
Rigid Inflatable Boat:
Rigid-hulled inflatable boats are used for transportation of goods and people in both - the inland and the coastal areas. The boats can be used for a longer period as they have higher load carrying capacity than conventional boats. Rigid-hulled Inflatable Boats (RIBs) are manufactured using high quality materials such as polyester fabric, aluminum, steel, PVC or HDPE plastic which is highly resistant to corrosion.
Application Insights:
The commercial use segment held the largest share of over 70.0% in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the rising number of events including marathons, half-marathons and other sports meets organized across various regions. For instance, Miami Marathon is one of the popular running events held annually in November in Miami, U.S.
Regional Analysis:
Europe accounted for the largest share of over 35% in 2017. The region is expected to dominate the industry over the forecast period owing to growing popularity among water sports enthusiasts and recreational boaters. Moreover, presence of a large number of manufacturers in countries such as U.K., Germany, France and Spain are likely to contribute towards growth during the forecast period.
