Container Shipping Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

 The Container Shipping Market is valued at around USD 115 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach approximately USD 140 billion by 2028, showcasing a growth rate of 4.07% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2028.

Despite challenges posed by cargo volume contractions and market imbalances, the container shipping industry has embraced greater discipline, capacity management, and cost reductions to sustain profitability. Notably, major players like AP Moller-Maersk and CMA-CGM, the top two container shipping lines globally, report a robust recovery in global container shipping, indicating a departure from the pandemic's impacts.

The rise in transported volumes owes itself to the rebound in global economic activities post-lockdown relaxations, increased consumption driven partly by support packages, significant growth in e-commerce leading to inventory restocking, and the usual seasonal fluctuations in business activity.

Seaborne cargo transportation is witnessing increased demand due to its safety and cost-effectiveness compared to road and air transit. Ships offer efficient movement of larger cargo volumes within shorter durations.

Given that ships facilitate over 80% of global trade, disruptions in ports and shipping routes hinder crucial supplies such as food, energy, and medicine from reaching those in need, impacting businesses and causing price hikes for both producers and consumers.

The surge in consumer spending, particularly in online purchases, coupled with supply chain disruptions, led to container freight rates reaching five times their pre-pandemic levels in 2021. This surge in shipping costs substantially raised consumer prices across various goods.

Developing regions have shown growth, with Africa rising by an estimated 5.63%, Latin America and the Caribbean by 3.2%, and Asia, maintaining its status as the primary maritime cargo hub, accounting for 42.4% of goods loaded and 64.5% unloaded in 2021, with a growth of 3.1%.

Furthermore, the growing fleet of container ships and expanded port capacities worldwide are driving the demand for new container shipping services in the market.
