The timing couldn’t be better for Suzuki Marine SA which is leaving commercial rivals in its wake with dominant local sales figures to mark its 60th anniversary year.
The company increased its market share in 2024, accounting for 53,9% of all 4-stroke outboards sold – an 18,5% growth compared with 2023. The growth coincided with an overall 8,5% expansion of the Southern African outboard market during 2024.
“Suzuki Marine is the clear market leader in 4-stroke outboards, and we are incredibly proud of the outstanding sales achievements of our dealer network,” commented Tanja Maes, Marine Division Manager. “The results reflect a well-balanced sales performance across all engine sizes and a strong geographic spread, thanks to the dedication and resilience of our dealers.”
Suzuki has scooped an impressive nine National Marine Manufacturers Association Innovation Awards since 1987, cementing its reputation as one of the world’s outboard giants. Eight of the nine NMMA awards have been for four-stroke outboard motors, the largest number of awards in the engine category in the industry.
