Shipbuilding is the art or business of designing and constructing ships. It includes the design and construction of naval warships, commercial cargo vessels, cruise ships, and other large marine vessels. It can also be defined as the process of establishing the structural integrity and overall functionality of a ship, from hull construction to equipment installation and testing.

Market Dynamics

Ship demand is intimately related to international trade and economic expansion. Commercial vessels are required to move commodities across different regions as global trade grows. Consumer demand is fueled by economic expansion, which raises the demand for products and commodities and, in turn, increases the need for ships.

The shipbuilding sector is extremely cyclical and susceptible to changes in the state of the world economy. Economic cycles effect order volumes and ship pricing by altering market demand for new vessels.

However, shipbuilders may experience decreased demand, poorer profitability, and delays on existing orders during times of economic downturn or market volatility.
