Ferretti Group Grows in 2025, Driven by the Ultra-Wealthy

In a global luxury market showing signs of a slowdown, the high-end yachting segment is proving resilient, weathering the economic storm.

Ferretti continues to focus on higher-value-added segments, prioritizing the creation of customized models and emphasizing exclusivity and bespoke craftsmanship. In a market less driven by volume, this approach helps secure margins while simultaneously aiming to strengthen the brand image.

Beyond the numbers, these results reflect a structural shift in the market. The sector is evolving rapidly: following a phase of rapid post-pandemic expansion, the yachting industry has gradually entered a cycle of normalization, marked by a slowdown in sales of entry-level and mid-range models. In contrast, ultra-high-net-worth clients have continued to fuel demand for custom-built yachts, which are less sensitive to global economic fluctuations.

This market polarization has favored players capable of combining industrial know-how, innovation, and artisanal excellence. In this context, Ferretti, which brings together these three strengths, has been able to consolidate its position among the global leaders in the sector, thanks to its rich and diversified offering—capable of satisfying the most demanding premium clientele—as well as rigorous cost management.

Globally, the luxury yachting market was estimated at just over $10 billion in 2025 and could reach more than $19 billion by 2034, representing an average annual growth rate of approximately 7%, driven by the growth of luxury tourism worldwide. This growth remains uneven, however: across all brands, it primarily benefits the superyacht segment, which already accounts for more than 30% of the market, confirming a shift toward the very high end for all players in the sector.
