More South African Boaters Chose Suzuki in 2025 — and That Says a Lot
In 2025, more boaters than ever before chose Suzuki outboards — and the results speak for themselves.
Suzuki Marine closed the year with a record-breaking 55% share of the 4-stroke outboard market in South Africa, up from our previous high of 53.8%. That means more than half of all 4-stroke outboards sold were Suzuki.
In a competitive marine market, that kind of growth doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a clear vote of confidence in our brand, our products, and the long-term value Suzuki delivers on the water.
We didn’t just grow in 2025 — we strengthened our position as the market leader, setting new benchmarks for both sales and market share.
A Record Year for Sales
Alongside this milestone, Suzuki Marine also achieved its highest annual sales ever.
In 2025, 1,663 outboards were sold across Southern Africa, surpassing the previous record of 1,650 units set in 2022. These figures include both 2-stroke and 4-stroke outboards.
At a time when boaters are paying closer attention to reliability, fuel efficiency, and long-term ownership costs, these numbers tell an important story. Boaters aren’t just buying an outboard — they’re making a smarter choice.
That confidence is also reflected in our Customer Satisfaction Score of 95.6% in 2025, showing just how highly Suzuki owners rate our service and support.
