Research and Markets Adds Report: Global Scuba Diving Equipment Market [Health & Beauty Close - Up]


(Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Scuba Diving Equipment Market" report to its offerings.

In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: According to the report, one of the main growth drivers is the rise in the disposable income of consumers. Rise in the per capita income of people, especially in developing countries, has led to an increase in the demand for recreational scuba diving equipment worldwide. One of the main challenges is the availability of counterfeit products in the market is one of the main challenges. This is affecting the revenue and the brand name of the global vendors.



Key players dominating this market include American Underwater Products, Aqualung International, Johnson Outdoors, Mares, and Sherwood Scuba.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the researchers' team said: The increase in the transition from beginners to seasoned recreational divers is increasing the demand for diving equipment that facilitates diving deeper, staying underwater for longer durations or carrying more equipment. Many diving equipment manufacturers are thus responding by launching new lightweight and more sophisticated products to address the changing needs of divers. New buoyancy compensators, which can provide lots of buoyant lift with larger ballast pouches and cargo pockets than standard buoyancy converters, are becoming increasingly popular among regular divers. Additionally, vendors are focusing on developing drysuits which can withstand lacerations, abrasions, and punctures better than the drysuits that are currently available in the market. Many products incorporating high-tech materials that are strong yet lightweight and flexible yet resistant to chemicals are being marketed by global manufacturers.
