In terms of types, the global ship building market is divided into general cargo ships, naval & special ships, oil tankers, bulk carriers, container ships, passenger ships, and others. The bulk carriers segment held a considerable share of the market in 2020, owing to growing consumer demand for foreign goods and infrastructure developments in developing countries that fueled large-scale bulk purchases, especially in coal, steel and iron ore. Bauxite, cement, fertilisers, rice, sugar, and timber are among the bulk commodities transported through bulk carriers. Bulk carriers are an environmentally efficient way to carry big amounts of dry cargo over long distances, emitting only 6.5 gCO2/ton nm.
On the basis of end-users, the ship building market is segmented into transport companies, military, and others. The transport companies segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market during the forecast period, as to the shipping industry moves almost 1 billion tons of iron ore, 2 billion tons of crude oil, and 350 million tons of grain per year. According to the International Chamber of Shipping, the yearly value of global shipping trade exceeded 14 trillion US dollars in 2019. Shipping accounts for 80% of total exports and imports by volume and 50% by value in an economic region such as the European Union.
Based on regions, the ship building market is split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific constituted a significant share of the market, due to the rising ship building industry in Japan, South Korea, and China. In 2021, global ship orders accounted for 45.73 million compensated gross tons (CGTs), with 22.8 million CGTs in China and 17.35 million CGTs in South Korea. (Source Clarkson)
According to statistics from the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry, in-hand ship orders in China reached 96.3 million deadweight tons by the end of November 2021, up by 35.9% year on year.
