Continuing the conversation at IBEX with a global audience at Metstrade
When visiting this year’s edition of IBEX, we were pleased to see lots of activity within the North American leisure marine market. The presence of domestic organisations here is particularly strong in 2025, with lots of collaboration between brands from Canada and the US.
From regional collaboration to global market insights
While domestic collaboration is essential, to fully understand the leisure marine market, anticipate trends, and grow for the future, a global perspective is needed.
Metstrade is strategically tailored for those North American organisations which are seeking to extend their conversations from IBEX and engage with a global audience. Metstrade is the central meeting point for the global leisure marine industry with 1,600+ exhibitors and 20,000+ visitors from over 135 countries.
Exploring European design and the full marine ecosystem at Metstrade
There is a strong appetite for European design in the US, and Metstrade is where to learn and see just what it is that makes these boats appeal to buyers in North America. All the design trends and latest products can be found across the halls of RAI Amsterdam and through the Metstrade content programme across five dedicated stages, including a North America stage for region-specific panels and talks.
The health of the leisure marine industry is more than producing and selling new boats. There is a whole eco system which goes into it, including marina services, refitting and maintenance, safety, workforce, and much more – all of which drive new innovations, sustains boating for the future, and keeps people interested in being on the water.
This is why the scope of Metstrade is deliberately broad to drive growth in the full ecosystem and create collaboration opportunities between all industry segments.
