Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst type, the container segment held the largest market share in 2021”

Based on type, the market is divided into container Ships, bulk carriers, oil tankers, passenger ships, and others (Naval ships, Tugboats, etc.). The container ships category has held the largest market share in the historic year and is expected to see the same trend in the forecast period. container ships are designed to transport huge quantities of goods in standardized containers. those vessels offer numerous benefits over different modes of transportation, along with trucks, trains, and planes, in terms of speed, cost, and efficiency. For example, an ordinary field ship can carry up to 20,000 containers, which is equal to about 200,000 tons of shipment. Such large capacity allows shipping businesses to gain economies of scale, reduce transportation costs, and perform more efficiently. The container shipping industry has also benefited from globalization, which has led to an increase in international trade. Moreover, another factor that has contributed to the growth of container shipping is the development of specialized ports and container terminals. These centers are designed to address huge volumes of packing containers efficiently, reducing turnaround times and increasing productivity. For instance, the Port of Shanghai in China is the world’s busiest container port, handling over forty million TEUs (twenty-foot equal devices) every year. In addition, the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands is Europe’s largest container port, managing over 14 million TEUs yearly.

“Amongst end-user, the transport segment dominated the market in 2021”

Based on end-user, the market is bifurcated into transport, and military. The transport segment has dominated the market and is expected to dominate in the forecast period. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in demand for transport ships due to globalization and the growth of international trade. Shipping plays a significant role in the economies of many countries, facilitating the movement of goods and commodities across oceans and waterways. Furthermore, technological advancements play a great role in determining the dominance of the transport and military segments within the shipbuilding market. The development of advanced shipbuilding technology has enabled shipbuilders to assemble ships that can be faster, extra efficient, and more environmentally friendly. These technological advancements have enabled the transport segment to increase its performance and decrease its environmental impact.

“Asia Pacific dominated the shipbuilding market in 2021”

The Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period due to rapid industrialization, increasing population, and low labor costs. one of the crucial reasons why the Asia-Pacific region is dominating the shipbuilding market is the low labor costs and the presence of skilled employees. Countries in Asia-Pacific have lower labor fees than different areas, which ends up in lower overall manufacturing costs. This has given these countries a competitive edge that permits them to offer shipbuilding services at a lower cost than their competitors. The Asia-Pacific region is home to ample reserves of steel, aluminum, and other raw substances used within the shipbuilding industry. South Korea is a prime example of an Asia-Pacific country that has built strong recognition in the worldwide shipbuilding industry. South Korean shipbuilders, along with Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Heavy Industries, and Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering, are among the most respected in the industry.
