Global Ship Dismantling Market Research Report 2025(Status and Outlook)
Description
Report Overview
Ship dismantling, also known as ship recycling or shipbreaking, refers to the process of dismantling end-of-life vessels to recover materials such as steel, machinery, and reusable components, while ensuring environmentally safe disposal of hazardous substances like asbestos, lead, and oil residues. The industry plays a crucial role in the global maritime supply chain by providing a sustainable solution for decommissioned ships, reducing waste, and supplying secondary raw materials to industries like construction and manufacturing. Ship dismantling is concentrated in regions with low labor costs and lax environmental regulations, such as South Asia (India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan), where the majority of dismantling occurs through beaching—a cost-effective but often environmentally harmful method. However, growing regulatory pressures, particularly from the EU Ship Recycling Regulation and the Hong Kong International Convention, are pushing the industry toward safer and more sustainable practices, including the use of dry docks and green recycling facilities. The market is influenced by factors such as global steel demand, ship scrapping volumes (which fluctuate with shipping industry cycles), and environmental compliance costs, making it a complex and evolving sector.
The global Ship Dismantling market size was estimated at USD 1301.43 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.50% during the forecast period.
