Description
Dry Bulk Shipping Market by Type (Major Dry Bulk Carrier, Minor Dry Bulk Carrier), Vessel Type (Capesize, Handymax, Handysize), End-Use - Global Forecast 2024-2030
The Dry Bulk Shipping Market size was estimated at USD 44.51 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 47.09 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 6.00% to reach USD 66.94 billion by 2030.
Dry bulk shipping involves the transportation of dry commodities, including coal, iron ore, grains, and other bulk materials, through large transportation vessels. The dry bulk shipping vessels are specifically designed to transport bulk cargo in large quantities, and the materials are often in the form of loose particles or granules. Sugar, cement, and steel products are also shipped as minor bulks. Dry bulk shipping is considered a vital part of the global trade network and plays a crucial role in transporting essential raw materials from production sites to consumption centers around the world. However, the high cost of labor required to transfer the materials into cargo and the increased cost of transportation of dry bulk ingredients may adversely impact the growth of the dry bulk shipping market. Moreover, technological breakthroughs in transportation vessels, such as tracking shipping materials and assigning an identification number to particular goods, are expected to propel the use of dry bulk shipping solutions worldwide.
Regional Insights
The dry bulk shipping market is evolving in the Americas owing to the presence of large economies and deep-water ports and significant investments in improving port infrastructure to meet the rising demand for commodities such as grains, coal, fertilizers, and metal ores. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has further facilitated regional trade growth. The dry bulk shipping market represents a developing landscape in the EMEA region owing to the strong presence of port facilities and substantial presence of oil reserves in states, including Saudi Arabia, that provide huge export volumes of crude oil internationally through their state-of-the-art terminals. Africa contributes significantly to the dry bulk shipping market by facilitating essential imports, including food materials, for its rapidly growing population. The APAC region, particularly China, Japan, and India, is resulting in elevated growth in the dry bulk shipping market due to burgeoning industrial and trade activities. China's robust increase in iron ore imports for steel production, along with India's strong demand for coal and Japan's importation of grains, exemplify the significance of these countries in the dry bulk shipping industry. Furthermore, continuous advancements in the dry bulk shipping industry, such as AI-based optimization algorithms for efficient cargo stowage and IoT-enabled real-time monitoring systems for vessel performance assessment, are anticipated to encourage the growth of the dry bulk shipping market globally.
