美國一月份船舶銷售量輕微下滑

張貼日期2011年3月1日

與去年同月相較, 美國流行的14呎至30呎間的FRP船舶一月份銷售量下滑5.9%. 在31個提供早期數據的州, 個人用船隻下跌3.8%, 包含個人用船隻在內的總FRP船舶銷售量則下跌了6.3%.

與去年同期相較, ㄧ月份鋁合金船舶的銷量上升了8.6%. 充氣式浮筒船的銷量則是上升8.7%, 鋁合金漁船上升8.2%.

所有的統計都是初級資料而且包含了代表69%全美國市場的州. 因為海岸防衛隊輸入資料上的延遲, 備案船隻並不包括在內. 也因為這個理由, FRP船舶銷售量的下滑可能被輕微的誇大. 只有提供每週或每月資訊的州才會被包含在內.

2010年1月, FRP船舶市場下滑約24%至25%, 鋁合金船舶也下跌約同樣的百分比. 2011年1月FRP市場個位數字的下滑和鋁合金船舶市場健康的成長表示需求開始超過供給, 且產業已經為今年審慎的復甦做好準備.

Boat sales drop slightly in January

Posted on February 28, 2011

Sales of fiberglass boats in the popular 14- to 30-foot segment fell 5.9 percent in January from the same month in 2010. Sales of personal watercraft fell 3.8 percent and sales of all fiberglass boats, including personal watercraft, fell 6.3 percent in 31 early reporting states.

Sales of aluminum boats rose 8.6 percent in January from the same month last year, while sales of pontoon boats rose 8.7 percent from January 2010 and sales of aluminum fishing boats rose 8.2 percent.

All of the statistics are preliminary and cover early reporting states that represent about 69 percent of the national market. Documented vessels aren't included. because of data-entry delays at the Coast Guard. For that reason, declines in fiberglass boat sales could be slightly overstated. Only states that provide weekly or monthly information are included.

In January 2010, the fiberglass market was declining by 24 to 25 percent and the aluminum market was falling nearly as sharply. Single-digit declines in the fiberglass markets and healthy growth in the aluminum markets in January 2011 signal that demand is starting to outpace supply and that the industry is poised for a modest recovery this year.
