概要

世界の貨物船の市場規模は、2024年の401億8,000万米ドルから2032年に559億7,000万米ドルに達すると予測され、2025年~2032年の予測期間にCAGRで4.23%の成長が見込まれます。貨物船は、海を渡って商品、材料、製品を運ぶために設計されています。これらの船舶は世界貿易において重要な役割を担っており、世界の貿易量のほぼ90%を輸送し、予測期間における世界の貨物船市場を牽引します。また、貨物船は費用対効果の高い大規模な国境を越えた物資輸送を可能にすることで、世界貿易の拡大に重要な役割を果たしているため、貨物船に対する需要は大幅に増加しています。eコマースの拡大、海運技術の強化、港湾施設や貿易ルートへの旺盛な投資などが市場に影響を与えるとみられます。さらに、米国の貿易変動や米国の安全保障上の脅威などの地政学的動向も一役買い、関税調整や輸送割引などの戦略的反応を生み出します。一般に、貨物船は市場へのアクセスを大幅に向上させ、商業障壁を下げ、グローバルサプライチェーンを効率化し、世界経済の成長を管理します。

貨物船は、世界市場の拡大に不可欠な存在であり、効率的で費用対効果の高い物資の輸送を可能にしています。技術の進歩や地政学的要因に影響されながら、その進化は国際貿易の力学を形成し続けています。

例えば2025年1月、DP Worldはカナダの貨物事業を強化するため、Gemini Corporation N.V.と提携しました。Gemini Corporationとのパートナーシップは、よりスマートな貿易を可能にし、グローバルサプライチェーンのレジリエンスを強化することを目的としています。

当レポートでは、世界の貨物船市場について調査分析し、市場規模と予測、市場力学、主要企業の情勢などを提供しています。

Global cargo ships market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.23% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 40.18 billion in 2024 to USD 55.97 billion in 2032. Cargo ships are designed to carry goods, materials and products across the ocean and seas. These ships play a crucial role in world trade, carrying almost 90% of the world's trade volume, driving the global cargo ships market in the forecast period. Also, the demand for cargo ships is rising significantly, as they play a vital role in expanding global trade by enabling cost-effective, large-scale cross-border transportation of goods. The market will be impacted by expansion in e-commerce, enhanced shipping technologies, and robust investment in port facilities and trade routes. Additionally, geopolitical trends, such as the United States' trade volatilities and the United States security threats, also play a role, generating strategic reactions such as tariff adjustments and transportation discounts. In general, freighter ships greatly enhance access to the market, lower commercial barriers, and make the global supply chain more efficient, managing global economic growth.

Cargo ships are essential to the expansion of global markets, enabling efficient and cost-effective transportation of goods. Their evolution, influenced by technological advances and geopolitical factors, continues to shape the dynamics of international trade.

For instance, in January 2025, DP World partnered with Gemini Corporation N.V. to strengthen Canadian cargo operations. This partnership with Gemini Corporation aims to enable smarter trade and bolster the resilience of global supply chains.

Cargo Ships as Catalysts of Global Business Growth

Cargo ships are great drivers of international business expansion by enabling the mass transportation of goods across global oceans with quickness, efficiency, and economy. They make it possible for companies to reach new markets, stretch supply chains, and maximize production by accessing raw materials and parts globally. As globalization intensifies, cargo ships have become crucial in addressing the needs of global trade, with shipping volumes and fleet sizes constantly growing. For instance, in February 2025, A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, an integrated logistics company, teamed up with Cochin Shipyard Ltd, a state-run shipbuilder. This partnership focuses on afloat repairs of dry docking of vessels and of ships with capabilities projected to expand over time. Advances in technology, such as automated navigation, fuel-efficient engines, and digital tracking of cargo, have further increased their role, minimized costs and increased reliability. Essentially, cargo ships not only integrate economies but also enable businesses of all sizes to play on the global stage, stimulating economic development and competitiveness in nearly all industries. It diversifies the market's revenue streams and assures consistent demand, considerably contributing to its growth.

AI Integration Drives the Global Cargo Ships Market Demand

Artificial intelligence (AI) will dramatically change global freight activity by promoting efficiency, sustainability, and cost reduction. One possibility that AI can achieve is route optimization, with the extended algorithms scanning actual data for weather, ocean flows and port overloads to determine the most efficient shipping route. Fuel consumption not only reduces operating costs but also reduces carbon emissions to meet the international community's agenda to meet environmental goals. AI is equally critical of predictive maintenance, and monitoring of transport equipment and systems recognizes problems before they lead to expensive failures, leading to safer and more reliable operations. AI is increasingly used by ports to plan and automate container handling, which reduces turnaround times and bottlenecks. AI also allows for the development of autonomous or semi-autonomous vessels that reduce reliance on large crews and improve navigational accuracy, particularly in complex environments. Additionally, shipping organizations and stakeholders use AI-based analyses to predict market trends, optimize freight rates, and make fact-based decisions on changing trends in retail and geopolitical change. In general, AI is suitable to improve resistance, competitiveness and ecological sustainability in the freight transport sector and meet the requirements of an increasingly globalized world.

For example, in March 2025, Seaspan Corporation expanded its AI adoption with Orca AI Ltd. for over 100 ships to enhance the safety and operations of ships. Global containership powerhouse, Seaspan Corporation, integrated its cutting-edge Sea Pod digital watchkeeper across its entire fleet to support significant safety improvements and operational cost savings.

Dominance of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in Global Cargo Ships Market

Liquid natural gas (LNG) topography holds the largest market share in the global cargo ships market, driven by increasing environmental requirements, stricter emissions regulations and a cleaner transition to fuel in the shipping sector. LNG is an environmentally friendly fuel compared to traditional sea fuels. LNG reduces sulfur oxide emissions (SOX) by almost 100%, nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by up to 90%, and carbon dioxide emissions by 20%. So far, the LNG-led world fleet has over 400 services and hundreds of orders, including huge vessels, oil tankers and cruise ships. Major ship giants are planning to invest in LNG technology to meet the regulatory requirements and sustainability goals.

For instance, in March 2025, Eastern Pacific Shipping Pte ltd. and DongHua Entec. Co. Ltd. announced their collaboration on the development and installation of a high-pressure compressor for an LNG-fueled container ship under construction at China's NTS shipyard.

Asia-Pacific Dominates the Global Cargo Ships Market

The Asia-Pacific continues to be one of the world's leading regions in the global cargo ships market maintained by a mix of strategic locations, strong infrastructure and strong economic growth. The region is home to some of the busiest and technologically advanced ports in the world. Equipped with classic infrastructure such as low water lying areas and advanced automated cargo administration, the ports permit streamlined handling of bumper cargo volumes. Furthermore, Asia-Pacific has been a significant contributor to global cargo ships growth, owing to the presence of giant market players, rising global trade volumes, and an increase in trade-related agreements.

For instance, in May 2024, Ocean Infinity Limited and Cyan Renewables Pte. Ltd signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide a wide range of logistical services and infrastructure to facilitate the transportation of offshore wind components. Both companies aim to provide comprehensive marine information services for offshore renewables projects in the Asia-Pacific region.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Global Cargo Ships Market

Short Term Surge in Shipping Demand: The Temporary reduction in U.S. tariffs has led to a rush to import goods and materials, which spikes the shipping volumes and revenue.

Stimulates Domestic Supply Chain: Instead, reliance on other countries, locals are encouraging manufacturing to their own country.

Increased Cost for Customers: Due to rise on tariffs, customers are paying higher prices for the same product which they are buying at low cost which contributes to inflation and reduced purchasing power.

Impact on E-Commerce and Small Businesses: Newly launched startups and small platforms replying to low-value shipments facing issues to sell their products at higher costs.

Key Players Landscape and Outlook

Continuous innovation characterizes the landscape of cargo ships globally, as companies compete to outperform one another in terms of low-cost transportation, fast supply, energy efficiency, and unique features. The market prognosis remains positive, owing to increased demand for no-damage supply, AI, and professional workloads. Cargo ship manufacturers are concerned with supply chain resilience, energy efficiency, and environmental practices, which will likely define the industry's future. Collaborations and developing technologies are projected to increase competition in this fast-paced market.

For example, in May 2025, HD Hyundai and A.P. Moller - Maersk signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a partnership on ship decarbonization solutions, and HD Hyundai is also looking to further leverage Maersk's end-to-end integrated logistics solutions for its affiliates.
