September 23, 2025

The International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) is proud to announce the release of its latest publication, Market Insights: Pathways in Asia. 

Market Insights: Pathways in Asia explores the development of the recreational marine industry in Asia, the eco-system and its key pillars of development – Government Advocacy, Access to Water, Financial Infrastructure and Grow Boating – which exist in varying degrees of priority and development within all leisure marine markets in Asia. This 249-page brief includes latest overviews by ICOMIA’s Asia Members on their respective markets and businesses.

“Pathways in Asia is an important read for both businesses and regulatory agencies to help understand the “lay of the land” and the structural issues involved. Herein lies the value of the work; an overdue, long hard look at the importance of the fundamentals that underpin the progress of the industry. It is a thematic exploration of boating in Asia that identifies the common threads that are both barriers as well as launchpads for growth.” – Joe Lynch, CEO ICOMIA.

This inaugural edition of Market Insights is a collaborative effort with ICOMIA Members in Asia and its regional network. Building on a long-standing commitment to delivering authoritative global industry intelligence, Pathways in Asia offers members, businesses, and investors a detailed perspective on the dynamics driving growth in Asia, which facilitates informed decision-making in one of the world’s fastest-evolving boating landscapes.

To maximize value for its audience, Market Insights: Pathways in Asia is included with every purchase of the ICOMIA 2023 Statistics Book, the industry’s most trusted benchmark of international recreational marine data. Together, these two resources provide an unparalleled foundation of knowledge for companies navigating both global and regional developments.

ICOMIA is also extending this benefit retrospectively. Anyone who has already purchased the 2023 Statistics Book is invited to contact ICOMIA directly to receive their complimentary copy of Market Insights: Pathways in Asia.

With this publication, ICOMIA continues to demonstrate its commitment to supporting its members and the wider industry with the insights and resources necessary to adapt, grow, and succeed in an evolving global marketplace.

Good Advice that You Can Share – The Art of Anchoring  

Unless a boat is secured, it will drift away. If it cannot be attached to something secure, such as a dock, piling, mooring buoy, tree, or boulder, it must be anchored. There is much more to anchoring than simply tossing the anchor over the side. 
 
An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
