2019 North American Personal Watercraft (PWC) Production
88,200
In 2018, production was 89,509 units, up 3,035 units or 3.5% from 2017.
This information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share: With combined plant totals of 53.3%, Yamaha leads in production of PWC in North America. In second position is Bombardier (BRP) with 39.5%; third is Kawasaki with 7%. Canadian-based BRP builds its Sea-Doo branded PWCs in Mexico. Tennessee Watercraft produces the jet drive boats for Yamaha.
Exports: Collectively up to 30% worldwide
Trends: In 2018, production of PWC in NA increased 3.5% over 2017. Year over Year, production is expected to remain flat, with a slight decrease of 1.3%, in 2019. Sales of these recreational vehicles depend on disposable income and leisure time. Industry revenue dropped during the recession and is still low; over the next five years continued disposable income growth will bring revenue back to its prerecession level. Expect the production of Personal Watercraft to gain up to 5% by 2025. PSR
