Global Diving Equipment Market Outlook

The global diving equipment market size reached around USD 4.73 billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% between 2025 and 2034 to attain nearly USD 6.99 billion by 2034.

Key Takeaways

• The United States boasts 11 million snorkelers and nearly 2.5 million individuals went diving in 2023.

• Recreational snorkelling and scuba diving contributed approximately USD 11 billion to the United States GDP.

• Between November 2020 and 2021, around 15 thousand people participated in scuba diving and snorkelling in England.

One of the key factors favouring the diving equipment market growth is the robust growth of the tourism industry and the growing interest in recreational diving by tourists. Nearly half of the tourists prefer a coastal destination for their vacation. This is boosting the popularity of activities like scuba diving, salvage diving, and hazmat diving, among others.

The use of sustainable equipment is also driving the diving equipment market expansion. Eco-friendly and recyclable materials are increasingly being used to manufacture scuba diving equipment. Manufacturers are also using natural rubber, biodegradable polymers, and organic textiles in production processes as they have smaller environmental and chemical footprints.

Region-wise, the Asia Pacific region is leading the diving equipment market share. For instance, the Philippines is Asia’s leading dive destination due to its incredible beauty and enormous biodiversity. Asia has some of the most popular scuba sites in the world, including Pulau Sipadan in Malaysia, Similan Islands in Thailand, and Mergui Archipelago in Myanmar, among others.

Furthermore, companies across the world are partnering to manufacture advanced diving equipment. In 2022, Planet Scuba India partnered with Taiwan’s CREST Diving to introduce CREST Diving to the Defence Bioengineering and Electromedical Laboratory (DEBEL) of DRDO. With this Planet Scuba India aims to develop a dive equipment manufacturing ecosphere in the country.
