According to a Researchandmarkets market study, global demand for catamarans is expected to reach $ 13.5 billion by 2027, with an annual growth rate (CAGR) close to 5 %. Les États-Unis et l’Europe restent les marchés les plus prometteurs, représentant près de 70 % des exportations de Robertson and Caine.

Theo Loock, at the head of the company since 2021, conducts initiatives to encourage bilateral trade agreements, thus illustrating the need for proactive economic diplomacy. In parallel, with the increase in transport costs and fluctuations in supply chains, CAP, with its robust maritime infrastructure and its qualified team, arises as a strategic port.
This dynamic not only allows Robertson and Caine to continue to assume their leading position, but also to develop an industrial resilience model. For example, despite the challenges of American customs tariffs, the company sought to diversify its markets while maintaining an exceptional production of production in CAP.
#### A lasting and connected vision
By examining the development of Robertson and Caine, it is interesting to emphasize how commitment to sustainability plays a key role in the company’s strategy. The construction of catamarans, although with high investment and consumption, gradually integrates ecological navigation technologies. Variants fueled by renewable energy sources are in the development phase, positioning the brand as a player aware of the global environmental challenges.
In addition, the growing interest in sustainable maritime tourism in regions such as the Mediterranean and the Caribbean represents a significant opportunity. The rise of responsible cruises raises expectations among consumers who seek to minimize their carbon footprint while enjoying the pleasures of the sea.

There are many global challenges, but Robertson and Caine’s commitment to quality, sustainability and international collaboration suggests a promising future for this South African maritime icon. The sea could be vast, but with such determination, the CAP has not finished marking waves on the world market.
