Marine tourism is similar to coastal tourism, but is more focused on water sports. Both of these are eco-friendly forms of tourism. The tourism industry, has witnessed healthy growth post the recession era; recording more than 1 billion tourists for the first time in 2012, growing ~4% annually. This has positively impacted coastal & marine tourism, and indirectly boosted the sales of boat steering systems, with Europe being the world’s most visited tourist destination.
According to WTO’s estimates, the number of tourists visiting Europe is growing by 6% annually, with a large percentage of tourists concentrated in the Mediterranean Coastal region, which has been registering an average of 200 million visitors yearly.

Powered boats have found application beyond their common usage for fishing, recreational, and maritime security purposes. It has become common for these boats to be modified for security purposes. Criminal activities on water bodies, such as rivers and seas, coupled with growing tensions between countries in the present scenario, have prompted the increased deployment of police watercraft to patrol such water bodies, with the main focus on harbours.
Maritime security is required against illegal smuggling, piracy, and forced invasions, as well as for rescue operations. This necessitates the adoption of fast-moving boats. The boats utilized for these purposes must be nimble, powerful, and have fast response steering systems to efficiently navigate the water bodies. This has paved the way for a growth in the sales of boats, which, in turn, is projected to push the demand for boat steering systems.
The United States has the highest number of police watercraft, followed by Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Therefore, North America accounts for a higher number of boat sales, comparatively and thus, the growth of the regional boat steering system market.
