Hyderabad, India, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the latest report by Mordor Intelligence, the luxury yacht market size is projected to grow from USD 11.44 billion in 2027 to USD 15.34 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 6.04% during the forecast period. Market volume is also expected to increase from 7.15 thousand units in 2027 to 8.21 thousand units by 2032, at a CAGR of 2.8%. Growing charter activity, rising interest among high-net-worth individuals, and an expanding wealthy consumer base in India are creating fresh opportunities for yacht manufacturers. Meanwhile, demand for hybrid propulsion systems and expedition-style vessels is encouraging product diversification. However, high ownership and maintenance costs, limited cruising infrastructure, and dependence on imported engines and electronic components could influence purchasing decisions and create challenges for production and delivery schedules.
