The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Demand for coast guards

The duties and responsibility of coast guards include search and rescue, the safety of vessels, border control, maintenance of seamarks, and enforcement of maritime law. These duties and responsibilities mandate the use of life jackets for these professionals.
