The global electric surfboard market, valued at US$ 83.4 million in 2022, is projected to reach US$ 165.6 million by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.9%. Driven by a 15% increase in surfing enthusiasts since 2018 and rising per capita water sports spending (U.S. expenditure rose from US$ 4.2 in 2016 to US$ 12.4 in 2021), the market sees strong demand for hydrofoil surfboards (60.2% share, US$ 50.1 million in 2022). North America holds a 37% share, with the U.S. market (US$ 28.8 million, 3,768 units in 2022) growing at a 6.5% CAGR. Challenges include high costs and limited battery life (often under 60 minutes). Online sales, particularly via company websites (62.1% of 5,963 units in 2021), dominate distribution channels.

Market Analysis

The electric surfboard market is fueled by technological advancements, such as carbon nano-fiber materials enhancing durability and stability, and a growing number of recreational water sports users. Sales grew at a 3.8% CAGR from 2017 to 2021, with 10,324 units sold globally in 2021, expected to double to 20,980 units by 2032. Hydrofoil surfboards lead due to their lightweight design and ease of use, while online sales channels, particularly company-owned websites, drive significant growth (6.7% CAGR).

High production costs and short battery life remain key barriers, potentially shifting consumer interest to alternatives like kayaking or windsurfing.

The market is segmented by product type, body, engine capacity, maximum speed, archetype, user category, sales channel, and region. Hydrofoil surfboards hold a 60.2% share due to their operational ease, generating US$ 51 million in opportunity by 2032. Solid body surfboards are preferred over inflatable ones for durability. Engines above 12 kW and speeds above 40 kmph cater to advanced users, while 20-40 kmph models suit recreational users. Millennials and Gen Z dominate individual archetypes, with recreational users outpacing professional ones. Online sales (6,334 units in 2021, projected 11,750 by 2032) lead over offline channels like sports stores. North America and Europe are key markets, with South Asia & Oceania showing growth potential.
