<title>Boat Building</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3184.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US boat building industry includes about 1,000 companies with combined annual revenue of about $10 billion. Major companies include Brunswick, Genmar, and Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA. The industry is concentrated: the largest 50 companies generate about 75 percent of revenue.

<title>Shipbuilding and Repair</title>
<link>http://www.mindbranch.com/products/R3470-3205.html</link>
<description> <![CDATA[The US shipbuilding and repair industry includes about 500 companies with combined revenue of about $15 billion. Major companies include the shipbuilding divisions of Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics, both of which are US military contractors. Other top companies are Todd Shipyards, Conrad Industries, Trinity Marine Products, and Jeffboat. The industry is highly concentrated: the largest 50 companies account for about 90 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for military shipbuilding is largely determined by the US military budget, and to a much lesser extent, the military spending of foreign governments allied with the US. Commercial shipbuilding demand is determined by international and domestic trade, the health of the global economy, and rate of fleet replacement due to age or obsolescence. Small companies usually specialize in building and repair of small commercial vessels. Large companies tend to offer a wide range of building and repair services for both commercial and military vessels, ]]></description>

<description> <![CDATA[The US boat dealers industry includes about 5,000 retail dealers with combined annual revenue of about $12 billion. Major companies include MarineMax. The industry is fragmented: the 50 largest dealers generate less than 30 percent of revenue.  COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE  Demand for boats is closely linked to personal income and the general economy. The profitability of individual companies depends on good marketing. Large companies may have economies of scale in advertising and purchasing. Small companies compete by specializing in a certain category of boats, such as fishing boats, or by focusing on a specific customer segment, such as sailing enthusiasts.  PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY  Dealers sell new and used boats, engines, parts, and a large variety of associated products. Dealers also provide maintenance and repair services, and may operate marinas and winter storage services; sell service contracts, especially for boats with expired warranties; and provide financing, insurance, and boat brokerage services.
