Analysts’ Viewpoint
Increase in seaborne trade, growth in economy, rise in energy consumption, surge in demand for environmentally-friendly ships and shipping services, and advent of robotics in the shipbuilding business are projected to fuel the North America shipbuilding market in the next few years. Increase in demand for traded commodities such as crude oil and gold is contributing to market development.
Rise in demand for fuel-efficient ships for international trade is also anticipated to drive market expansion in the region. Technological advancements in multi-fuel engines and increase in implementation of 3D printing, AI, and robotics technologies in shipbuilding are likely to create lucrative opportunities for market players in the near future.
The North America shipbuilding market size is expected to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period, due to the rise in maritime transport in the region. Shipbuilding is the construction process of ships and floating vessels in shipyards. These ships or floating vessels are constructed for military and commercial applications.
Shipbuilding includes the construction of passenger, cargo, and naval vessels in addition to container and cargo ships. Shipbuilding, repair, conversion, and alteration; creation of prefabricated ship and barge components; and provision of specialist services such as ship scale models are part of ship building yard operations. Lucrative presence of key players in North America is positively impacting market statistics in the region.
Global trade and manufacturing supply chains are supported by marine transportation. Demand for maritime transportation has been rising in North America since the last few years. This is leading to an increase in volume of imports and exports in the region. Maritime transport is the backbone of global trade and manufacturing supply chain; more than four-fifth of the world's merchandise trade is carried through the sea route. This is estimated to fuel the North America shipbuilding market growth during the forecast period.
Several trade-related agreements have been executed between various countries for the movement of goods. As a result, suppliers have been shifting their preference to waterways since it is a better and more efficient mode of transportation. This increase in trend has prompted cargo ship manufacturers to develop better and more efficient container carriers of various sizes and capacities. This is anticipated to augment the shipbuilding market in North America in the near future.
Free trade agreements lead to a reduction in government duties and taxes. Countries in the trade bloc are lifting bans and making trade more flexible. Thus, rise in trade-related agreements has led to an increase in demand for stronger containers, thereby boosting the North America shipbuilding market share.
In terms of ship type segment, the shipbuilding business has been segmented into cargo, vessel, container, tanker, multi-purpose ship, car and passenger ferry, and others. The cargo segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the expansion of international seaborne trade.
Cargo refers to the delivery of goods or merchandise for commercial benefit. It is a highly economical transportation mode for goods and raw materials. Various types of cargo include liquid bulk, breakbulk, containerized cargo, dry bulk, and ro-ro. Rapid rise in import and export of goods, and increase in demand for low-cost and efficient cargo shipping are the key factors contributing to the segment growth.
Based on end-user, the market has been bifurcated into commercial and military. The commercial segment dominated the industry in 2021. It is expected to witness higher CAGR during the forecast period.
Commercial ships are used for movement of passengers and goods. Rapid growth in the maritime tourism sector and rise in trade activities are driving the commercial segment. Increase in foreign direct investments, growth in population in emerging countries, and surge in number of passenger cruise ships are also fueling the segment.
The U.S. is expected to lead the market in North America during the forecast period. It is a major country for shipping trade. Rise in operational efficiency and decrease in environmental impact are expected to boost the shipbuilding industry in the country during the forecast period.
Increase in risk of enemy interference in coastal areas is likely to drive the demand for energy vessels in the U.S. This is expected to augment the market growth in the country. Furthermore, surge in investments in the defense sector is estimated to fuel market expansion in the U.S.
Key players in the North America shipbuilding market are actively focusing on research and development activities to gain revenue benefits.
