Catamarans are being used more frequently for a variety of applications as a result of technological developments in cruises, such as higher speed and safety features along with increased stability. Although it is becoming more and more popular in luxury and leisure applications, it is also becoming more and more common in transportation and military activities. Catamarans have made improvements in terms of dependability, increased speed, and stability, such as strong engines and sturdy hull bodies, which have helped them cover long distances in less amounts of time while providing improved comfort and safety.
The size of the global Catamaran Market was predicted to be USD 1.35 billion in 2021 and USD 1.42 billion in 2022.

Sunreef Yachts has made plans to establish a new shipyard in Ras Al-Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, as part of its expansion into the Middle East.
