How big is the ship building market?

The global ship building market size reached US$ 156.8 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 207.6 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.07% during 2024-2032.

Factors Affecting the Growth of the Ship Building Industry:

  • Increasing Seaborne Trade Across the Globe:

The growing expansion of economies, boosting the demand for the transportation of goods across international waters, is one of the major factors favoring the market growth. In line with this, the heightened seaborne trade, necessitating the need for a greater number of vessels for container shipping and bulk cargo transport, is contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the evolution of trade patterns and the emergence of new trade routes that bolster the demand for new ships, such as larger cargo ships and specialized vessels for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and chemicals with improved fuel efficiency, is enhancing the market growth. Furthermore, the ongoing demand for more environmentally friendly and sustainable shipping solutions, leading to innovations in ship design and propulsion systems, is creating additional opportunities for the market growth.

  • Rapid Technological Advancements and Eco-friendly Innovations:

The rising focus on reducing environmental impact and enhancing the operational efficiency of ships is acting as a growth-inducing factor. In line with this, rapid advances in shipbuilding technologies, such as the development of autonomous ships, electric propulsion systems, and the use of lightweight materials that lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce operational costs, are promoting the market growth. Additionally, the introduction of international regulations regarding sulfur emissions and ballast water management, necessitating the adoption of designs that comply with stringent standards, is enhancing the market growth. Along with this, the increasing research and development (R&D) in green shipbuilding technologies, including liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled and wind-assisted propulsion systems, is driving the market growth.

  • Increasing Spending on Defense and Maritime Security:

The increasing spending on defense and the growing emphasis on maritime security are major factors catalyzing the market growth. Moreover, the rising investment in naval fleets due to the burgeoning geopolitical tensions, piracy threats, and the heightened need to protect maritime borders and trade routes is creating a positive outlook for the market. It includes the procurement of aircraft carriers, submarines, destroyers, and patrol vessels, requiring sophisticated shipbuilding capabilities. Along with this, the increasing demand for naval ships for the strategic objective of projecting power and ensuring safe passage for commercial ships in contested or piracy-prone waters is acting as a growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the growing international collaborations and defense agreements as many countries opt to strengthen their naval capabilities through partnerships with foreign shipyards and defense contractors, is favoring the market growth.
