The global shipbuilding market size was valued at US$ 146.68 billion in 2022. Shipbuilding refers to the construction of ships and floating vessels at dedicated facilities known as shipyards. Shipbuilding involves sophisticated engineering and fabrication techniques to design and construct commercial vessels for transporting cargo as well as passengers across oceans and seas. Increasing globalization has facilitated a rise in international trade, positively impacting the demand for ships from major industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, and mining. Moreover, the growth of offshore oil & gas activities worldwide has propelled the production of specialized ships for offshore drilling, production, and transportation. Expanding maritime tourism along with rising disposable incomes is also fueling the construction of cruise and ferry ships. However, factors such as volatile crude oil prices and environmental regulations pose challenges to the shipbuilding industry.

Market Dynamics:

The global shipbuilding market growth is driven by growing international seaborne trade activities. A rise in global demand for energy and raw materials is necessitating marine transportation of oil, LNG, and dry bulk commodities which demands new ship orders. According to the International Energy Agency, the world energy demand is projected to rise by 30% between 2020 and 2030. This along with increasing offshore E&P(exploration and production) activities will drive the demand for specialized vessels like LNG carriers, crude oil tankers and offshore support vessels. However, fluctuations in crude oil prices add an element of uncertainty to investment decisions in the shipping industry. Strict environmental regulations pertaining to emission cuts can increase compliance costs for shipbuilders. Nevertheless, growing investments in development of green ships powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other clean fuels present lucrative opportunities in the coming years. Adoption of advanced engineering technologies such as 3D printing, AI and automation in ship design and production processes is also gaining momentum in the industry.
