Global shipbuilding market: trends and development prospects

Abstract

The purpose of this article is a brief analysis of the global commercial shipbuilding, in particular its growth, trends and development prospects. The characteristic features of the global shipbuilding industry are investigated on the basis of data on the order portfolio, investment volume, cancellation of orders, environmental requirements for shipping, etc. It has been revealed that the shipbuilding industry is on the threshold of a new supercycle, but the influence of a series of factors (a jump in freight rates, ongoing disruptions in the supply chain, rising prices for energy and raw materials, geopolitical instability, as well as uncertainty about the choice of fuel and technology) suggest that a new stage of shipbuilding will begin after 2025.

Keywords: commercial shipbuilding, new shipbuilding cycle, global order portfolio
