Rise in global seaborne trade in order to meet the consumer demand would drive the cargo shipping
As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the global seaborne trade volume touched 10 billion tons in 2015, which included exports and imports of dry cargo including bulk commodities and containerized trade. The constantly increasing containerized trade coupled with the rising trend of port automation to cope up with the increased demand has led to growing size of port terminals to accommodate the goods, which, in turn, is driving the demand for cargo shipping globally.
The following are key objectives of the study
- To analyse the global marine cargo industry, by region, in terms of geo-politics
- To define and analyse the global marine cargo markets by cargo type - liquid cargo, dry bulk, general cargo, container cargo

The ecosystem of the cargo shipping industry consists of shipping companies such as A.P. Moller Maersk (Denmark), CMA CGM SA (France), and Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A (Switzerland). Freight forwarders such as DHL Global Forwarding (Germany), Panalpina (Switzerland), Ceva Logistics (Netherlands), DB Schenker (Gemany) are also vital part of ecosystem. Shipbuilding and shipping containers manufacturers are also part of cargo shipping ecosystem. There are few trade statistical portals such as the International Trade Centre (ITC), and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) among others.
Major Developments in Market
- In May 2016, Maersk Line launched its new AC1 service, connecting the West Coast of Latin America with Asia. This new service will optimize its Asia to Central America network which will add a third loop to the AC network. The new service is expected to provide Maersk Line’s customers with reduced transit times and greater port coverage on certain corridors while maintaining the network’s stability
- In April 2016, COSCO Container Lines, CMA CGM, Evergreen Line and Orient Overseas Container Line signed a Memorandum of Understanding to form a new alliance. The new alliance offers competitive products and comprehensive service networks across the globe
- In December 2015, MSC has entered in a new vessel sharing agreement with Hapag-Lloyd, Hamburg Süd, CMA CGM, China Shipping and Hyundai. This new agreement ensures that MSC customers will get wider port coverage and faster transit times. The number of weekly sailings available to customers will increase from one per week to three. Additionally, there would be a notable improvement in transit times.

The cargo shipping market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.50% from 2016 to 2021. The global market is estimated to gain momentum after fiscal year 2018 after years of sluggish growth. The market growth is majorly attributed to growth in container transportation within growing developing and developed economies.
General cargo is estimated to leads this market, by cargo type. The factors that drivers the growth of this market are improving economic conditions of the European nations, trade agreements being formed between major developing and developed countries. With the improving economic conditions, the import & export trade of goods and products becomes more prominent for which general cargo would provide significant transportation model. Advantages such as individual transport of commodities that help in reduced ship time at port terminals, and enhanced utilisation of ship space. All of these factors would prompt the demand of General cargo in coming years.
Asia-Pacific is projected to lead this market during the period of 2016 to 2021. The growth of the cargo market is primarily triggered by the increasing population, infrastructural development and manufacturing activities. Furthermore, rising trend of globalization and demographic changes are also few other key drivers for Asia-Pacific. The Shanghai Port (China), Shenzhen Port (China), Hong Kong, S.A.R.(China), and Ningbo-Zhoushan, China), Singapore Port & Keihin Port (Japan) are some port terminals that handles millions of TEU annually that subsequently drive the growth of in Asia Pacific market.
Rising infrastructural development at the port terminals to accommodate the growing demand of cargo Shipping
The increasing investment in port infrastructure, global supply & demand cycle are also key driving factors for cargo shipping industry. Expansion of trade passages such as Panama Canal and Suez Canal increases waterways’ capacity and allow the passage of larger vessels is beneficial for cargo shipping. Increasing number of countries forging free trade agreements will boost the cargo shipping industry. Further, different free trade agreements such has NAFTA, AFTA, TPSEP, and others have helped countries significantly towards strengthening their economies. These agreements not only are responsible for the growth in trade between nations but also have direct impact on the shipping industry. Also, the developing country in past years are driving the economic growth. The improved specialization in the supply chain for marine trade has gathered huge development as developing countries continue to gain greater market share in the cargo shipping business.
Critical questions the report answers:
- Where will be the technological developments are being taking place at the port terminals to automate the cargo handling process at port terminals?
- Which all industries are majorly contributing to the global cargo handling and what are the upcoming trends that further drive this market?
Cargo shipping industry is facing environmental challenges as well as challenges emerging from changing dynamics of geopolitics. These challenges are restraining the growth of industry. Along with these challenges, high cost of buying new bigger container ships and competition to fill them in saturated market has started consolidation in the shipping industry. The industry players are fighting for market share which is giving rise to pricing at their marginal cost. Shipping industry can overcome these restrains by increasing productivity in operations, and improvement in network and fleet.
