Covid 19 increased marine hardware sales and the post-pandemic effects have been equally strong. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association, sales of all marine products and services including boats rose to 13-year high in 2020 to $47 billion, increasing 9% from the prior year. The boating industry has touted data showing that new powerboat sales are strong, along with sales of pontoon boats, wake sport boats, and jet boats.
The trend has shown enormous potential for the future as first-time buyers are entering the market in record numbers increasing wait times and straining dealer inventories. The EU and U.S. reached an interim agreement in 2021 that prevents the doubling of tariffs on U.S. boats and engines – which also offered encouraging news for marine manufacturers.

The Importance of Stainless Steel and Brass Marine Hardware
Our procurement outsourced stainless steel marine hardware benefits from the properties of stainless steel. Stainless steel is used in innumerable applications and industries: marine and shipbuilding, industrial containers, bulk materials handling equipment, building exteriors and roofing, automobile components, chemical processing plants, pulp and paper manufacturing, petroleum refining, water supply piping, consumer products, , pollution control, sporting goods, food handling, storing, cooking, and serving equipment and transportation, to name just a few. As an iron-containing alloy—a substance made up of two or more chemical elements—it is stain and rust resistant with more than 57 stainless steels recognized as standard alloys, in addition to many proprietary alloys produced by different stainless steel producers.
Con-Tech’s procurement services make us a leader in wholesale customer manufactured boat parts and marine hardware such as stainless steel and bronze marine hardware. Con-Tech marine hardware has long been fabricated of stainless steel and brass, as such materials help protect the hardware from corrosion in marine conditions. Choosing the right hardware is always a key element of boat safety. If the right choices are not made at the time marine hardware is selected, it may be severely compromised when exposed to marine environments if the right corrosion-resistant choices are not made at the time of purchase.
Con-Tech stainless steel marine hardware is highly resistant to rust and less likely less to corrode in saline conditions and is preferred in many applications as it may last a long time. The cheaper steel marine hardware better withstands the challenges of sun and wind. Many underwater applications favor brass marine hardware and its alloys in saline, high-pressure marine environments. Brass marine hardware is the ideal material in many applications due to its durability and strength as well as its’ rust and corrosion resistance features.
Con-Tech is always searching the marketplace for new suppliers as global steelmaking capacity has increased in recent years. Asia and the Middle East are leading the way in new steelmaking operations but, Bolivia, Namibia and Mozambique are also expected to see the start-up of their first steel plants during the 2021-23 period.
