By Equipment: Parasailing tow line segment constituted
highest consumer expenditure in 2017. These are available in many lengths,
ranging from 600-1,200 feet. Constant sun, saltwater exposure, sudden shocks by
wind gusts and overloads are primarily responsible for the aggressive wear and
tear which weakens the ropes and lead to high replacement demand. Parasailing
harness forms one of the most essential equipments acquiring second highest
market share. Harnesses are generally made of high tenacity polypropylene
webbing and grade 316, marine quality stainless steel. Parasail registered a double
digit market share in 2017. Parasail priced up to USD 2,500 are most preferred
