Dublin, Sept. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Small Marine Engines Market by Model (Gasoline, Diesel, Electric), Placement (Outboard, Inboard), Application (Recreational Boats, Support Vessels, Coastal Boats, Fishing Boats), Displacement (Up to 2 L, 2-4 L, 4-6 L) and Region – Global Forecast to 2027” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global small marine engines market is expected to reach USD 10.3 billion by 2027 from an estimated USD 7.8 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2027.

The growth of the small marine engines market is proportional to the growth of the boatbuilding industry. Apart from this, an increase in the fishing activities and the rising investments in oil and gas exploration has led to the increased use of support vessels and barges. They require small marine engines for propulsion and hence the market is expected to experience a growth in demand during the forecast period.

Diesel: The largest-growing segment by model in the small marines engines market

Based on model, the diesel based small marine engines are expected to occupy the largest share in the small marine engines market. Diesel engines are used in marine vehicles such as boats, ships, and submarines. Diesel engines are significantly more expensive than gas-powered engines as they are built to tighter tolerances and can stand much more abuse than their gasoline counterparts.

Diesel engines, when maintained properly, can give 6,000-8,000…
