The global water sports gear and equipment market will post a significant CAGR of 5.37% by revenue during the forecast period. In the past few years' government support, to increase the revenue generated from the tourism industry across the world, has increased in a large number of countries. This attempt is anticipated to aid in the expansion of the market over the next five years.Modern technology has allowed for the development of more complex and technical water sporting equipment and gear. Moreover, it has paved the way for

improvements in many product features. Currently, raw materials are being developed to better withstand the corrosive ocean atmosphere, which not only increases the longevity of water sports gear and equipment, but also renders these gear and equipment comfortable for end-users. For instance, rubber and plastics enhance the snug fit of masks and goggles, and treated glass improves divers' safety. More efficient and easy-to-use fins allow divers of all types — beginners and professionals — to easily navigate underwater. Eventually, these technological improvements in equipment will make it much easier for people to pursue water sports.
