Dublin, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Shipbuilding – Global Strategic Business Report” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global market for shipbuilding was estimated at US$111.2 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$140.3 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2023 to 2030. This comprehensive report provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, drivers, and forecasts, helping you make informed business decisions.
What Are the Key Drivers Fueling Growth in the Shipbuilding Market?
The growth in the shipbuilding market is driven by several key factors, including the expansion of global trade, rising demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly vessels, and advancements in defense modernization. The expansion of global trade is a primary driver, as international shipping remains the most cost-effective mode of transporting goods across continents. With global e-commerce growth and increased demand for consumer goods, raw materials, and industrial products, the need for new and larger cargo vessels has surged. As a result, shipbuilders are constructing advanced container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers that can handle high cargo volumes efficiently. The shipbuilding industry’s ability to meet demand for larger, more efficient vessels is essential for supporting trade routes and global supply chains, especially as companies seek to minimize shipping costs and maximize capacity.
Rising demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly vessels is also a major growth driver in the shipbuilding market, driven by both regulatory pressure and industry initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and other global bodies require vessels to meet strict emissions standards, promoting the development of ships with lower carbon footprints.
Shipbuilders are increasingly focusing on LNG-powered ships, hybrid engines, hydrogen fuel cells, and other green technologies to create eco-friendly vessels that comply with these regulations. This shift toward sustainability is expected to drive demand for ships with advanced fuel-efficient designs, supporting both the commercial shipping and passenger transport sectors as companies and consumers seek greener transportation options.
Advancements in defense modernization are further propelling growth in the shipbuilding market, as countries prioritize the renewal and expansion of their naval fleets to address security needs and geopolitical challenges. The construction of high-tech defense vessels, including submarines, aircraft carriers, and destroyers, supports national security efforts, enabling countries to protect their interests in international waters.
The rise of maritime security threats, such as piracy, illegal fishing, and territorial disputes, has led to increased government spending on navy modernization, particularly in regions such as Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Shipbuilders specializing in defense are benefiting from this demand, as defense modernization programs require vessels equipped with the latest technologies in surveillance, weaponry, and communication.
Together, these drivers – expansion of global trade, demand for eco-friendly vessels, and defense modernization – are fueling growth in the shipbuilding market, establishing it as a cornerstone of both the global economy and national security. As shipbuilders continue to innovate and adapt to the evolving demands of commercial, environmental, and defense sectors, the shipbuilding industry is set to play a central role in shaping the future of maritime transportation and international trade.
