Ability of water scooters to increase the diving range

The diving range for divers increases depending upon the efficiency of the water scooters. Earlier, diving activities were restricted maximum up to depth of around 130 feet; however, with the introduction of diver propulsion vehicles, the range has exceeded from 170 feet to 350 feet. The introduction of efficient water scooters has increased their adoption for sports activities as well as for safety & security purpose. Thus, the ability of water scooters to increase the diving range is the key factor increasing the water scooter market size across the globe.

Easy for navigation

Water scooters such as jet skis and diver propulsion vehicles are easy to use for navigation, as they operate at high speed as well as they do not require training or license for their operation. This leads to increased deployment of water scooters for navigation, which acts as a key driver of the global market. In addition, improvement in performance and travelling range of water scooters has fueled their adoption for navigation purpose, which leads to the growth of market.

Safety issues related while riding

Safety issues related to water scooters negatively impacts the water scooter market growth. In addition, early discharge of battery and frequent fuel drainage in the middle of voyage are expected to hamper the sale of water scooters across the globe, thereby restraining the growth of the market. Moreover, increase in incidence of accidents and rise in risk of falling off of riders limits the market growth. For instance, in 2018 a total of 47 accidents were reported in Japan. Thus, alarming upsurge in safety issues associated with riding water scooters affects the growth of the market.

Wide application in rescue operations

Continuous developments in water scooters made by various top companies, which have increased their application in rescue operations. For instance, the Sea-Doo SAR is a search & rescue watercraft, which is ideal for search & rescue operations during floods or along rocky coasts. In addition, water scooters possess the potential to reach the accident spot within a shorter time span, thereby serving as an ideal option in rescue operations. Moreover, various water scooters have been launched, which aid in rescue operations. For instance, Seabob Rescue is a water scooter, which is lighter in weight and is powerful in operations and can be carried by a single lifeguard. Thus, water scooters majorly find their application in rescue operations, which is anticipated to fuel the growth of the water scooter market across the globe.
