Carbon-neutral Shipping Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030
Description
The carbon-neutral shipping market is expected to increase at a CAGR of 8.72%.
The carbon-neutral shipping industry operates within logistics and transport as it aims to eliminate or balance emissions that result from shipping goods. This is often done using fuel-efficient technologies, alternative fuel sources (such as biofuel or green hydrogen), operational efficiency measures, and carbon offset strategies like reforestation or investments in renewable energy schemes. Carbon-neutral shipping involves all parties, including shipping lines, logistics operators and regulators, and carbon offset suppliers who operate in seaside and land-based cargo activities.
Market Trends:
Government Regulations: Stricter global emission standards are pushing the shipping industry toward decarbonization. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has introduced measures like the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), requiring shipowners to retrofit or replace inefficient vessels. The European Union is incorporating shipping into its Emissions Trading System (ETS), imposing costs on carbon emissions. These regulations drive innovation and investment in eco-friendly maritime technologies.
IMO Carbon Tax Proposal: The IMO is working toward a global carbon tax on shipping emissions to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by around 2050. Proposals include a per-ton emissions fee and marine fuel standards to promote cleaner alternatives like hydrogen and ammonia. However, opposition from countries like the United States highlights concerns over economic impacts and fairness.
Asia-Pacific Market: The Asia-Pacific carbon-neutral shipping market is propelled by economic, regulatory, and technological factors. Governments in China, Japan, and South Korea are enforcing stringent emission rules and promoting green port initiatives to align with global climate goals. Major regional shipping companies are investing in low-emission vessels and alternative fuels, such as LNG, green methanol, and ammonia, to stay competitive and meet rising global sustainability demands.
