Inflatable SUPs have overtaken fibreglass SUPs as the most popular segment of the SUP industry, with thousands of paddle-boarders preferring inflatable SUPs over fibreglass SUPs. According to the report, inflatable stand up paddle boards will continue to dominate the market. However, the penetration of inflatables varies by country. According to recent studies, Germany has a strong inflatable penetration, whereas France, Portugal, and the Scandinavian countries have strong stand up paddle board sales.
Leading brands’ advanced manufacturing processes have resulted in the development of relatively lighter inflatable SUP boards that provide a higher level of paddling experience than solid SUP boards and facilitate storage and transport. Materials have advanced in technological understanding, allowing for the creation of stiffer, lighter, and more resilient inflatable stand up paddle boards that provide a better and enhanced paddling experience.
The material itself has been a key area of inflate SUP board development, as manufacturers and vendors seek stronger materials with improved performance attributes. The incorporation of such materials helps to maintain the flexibility and durability required for inflatable SUP boards, thereby increasing their sales.
