Based on propulsion, the diesel-powered segment held the largest market share of three-fourths of global hovercraft market share² in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The key driving factor being that diesel engines in hovercrafts generate more torque, and run longer on a specific volume of fuel as compared to gasoline engines. In addition, diesel engines do not require spark plugs or electrical ignition system, which in turn improves performance of diesel-powered. Moreover, the others segment is projected to witness the largest CAGR of 6.0% from 2022 to 2031. Others segment include electric hovercrafts, and hovercrafts that run on alternative fuel. Moreover, electric hovercrafts are powered by electric motors which enable the hovercraft to move forward. Apart from this, growing environmental concerns and introduction of stringent emission regulations boost the growth of this segment.

Hovercrafts are also used for search and rescue operations at locations where traditional boats or helicopters are unable to carry out search and rescue services. Hovercraft can travel over shallow and tidal areas, frozen seas and lakes, and flood areas. Small-sized search and rescue hovercrafts are indispensable for operational inspection amongst the rubble in flood zones. Small-sized hovercrafts are specifically convenient for visual search of victims under the canopies, and trees.
