Analysis of Global Shipbuilding Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0109872/Analysis-of-Global-Shipbuilding-Market.html

Traveling through a ship, in the age of jet speed travel, is very slow, but when
it comes to transporting commodities ships take the upper hand. The seaborne
trade or maritime industry has always been preferred all over the globe. This is
the reason that the maritime industry remains the largest transport sector.
Shipping is the base for global trade, as it imports and exports the raw
materials and finished goods between countries and continents. 

The shipping industry for these reasons is a large industry. This industry
involves huge capital, wide workforce and technology. The industry is a balance
between all the three. The process of shipbuilding is also lengthy in terms of
time taken and there are many other ancillary industries associated with
shipbuilding as suppliers. 

As the most of the global trade is through sea the shipping industry is mainly
driven by the global economic growth. GDP growth is the main driving factor for
this industry. Over the years the industry has shifted its base from the earlier
dominating region Europe to Asia. Even within Asia there has been a tussle to
gain the top position where South Korea claimed the top position leaving Japan
and China behind, while China has also leaped ahead of Japan to become the
second player. Moreover, the positions these countries have gained are not just
within the Asian region but are on a global level. 

The order books of global shipyards reflect the size of shipping industry. While
currently the shipyards are sitting on huge order books to be delivered through
the coming few years, the global meltdown has dented the demand for the same, as
the scale of the global trade has not remained what it was just about a year
ago. 

This report primarily focuses on the shipbuilding industry. The global size of
the industry is being discussed, with a focus on main regional markets in this
industry. Apart from giving size of the regional markets, product-wise
deliveries and market data is also given, with an emphasis on container market.
Various trends in the industry as well as the drivers for this industry are also
discussed. The competitive scenario in the industry is highlighted along with
individual profiling of key players of this industry.
