The North America region currently dominates the global catamarans market. The region is expected to account for 34.7% of the market share in 2024. The U.S. has emerged as the largest market for catamarans due to growing participation in water-based recreational activities. Several U.S. states such as Florida, California, and Hawaii have ideal coastal weather conditions for sailing, making catamarans very popular leisure boats. Many domestic and international catamaran manufacturers have set up production facilities in the region to cater to the robust local demand. North American consumers also have higher disposable incomes allowing them to spend more on luxury items like catamarans compared to other regions. Additionally, several boat rental and charter companies operate in the region, offering catamaran experiences to tourists. This has further aided the market growth.

The Asia Pacific region is emerging as the fastest growing regional market for catamarans globally. Countries like Thailand, Australia and island nations across Southeast Asia have attractive coastal landscapes and waters ideal for sailing tourism. This has boosted the demand for recreational and leisure catamarans. As discretionary incomes rise in emerging economies, the affluent population is increasingly taking up boating and water sports as hobbies. Local shipbuilders in Australia and Southeast Asian nations have ramped up the production of smaller multihull boats to cater to this growing demand. The Asia Pacific catamarans market is also attracting considerable investments from global catamaran manufacturers looking to tap into the region's long-term potential. With sailing gaining widespread popularity and infrastructure developments across Asia Pacific coastal destinations, the region is poised to take over as the dominant global market in the coming years.
