Cargo Shipping Market Poised for 5 % Growth, Set to Hit $37.32 Billion by 2029
How Is the Cargo Shipping Market Projected to Grow, and What Is Its Market Size?The size of the cargo shipping market has seen a considerable increase in recent years. The market, valued at $12.53 billion in 2024, is set to rise to $13.2 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The historical growth within this sector can be linked to several factors. These include an unprecedented escalation in industrial production, demand for raw materials, globalization in the latter part of the 20th century, exponential development of Asian economies, plus deregulation and liberalization.
The anticipated increase in the size of the cargo shipping market is strong for the coming years, with an expected growth to $16.05 billion by 2029, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%. This projected growth during the forecast period is likely due to factors such as the emergence of just-in-time manufacturing, the deployment of standardized shipping containers, investments made into port facilities, an increasing emphasis on sustainability, and volatile fuel prices. Key trends to watch during this forecast period include the adoption of cutting-edge software solutions, the progression of smart port technologies, advanced container tracking systems, innovations within the realm of cold chain logistics, and stricter safety regulations.
What Are the Primary Growth Drivers for the Cargo Shipping Market?
The expansion of the automobile production sector is anticipated to stimulate the cargo shipping industry's growth. The surge in automotive production is spurred by aspects such as escalating population numbers, augmenting rates of motorization, robust government backing via policies and infrastructure enhancement, foreign direct investments, and collaborations. Automotive cargo shipping comprises the sea transport of vehicles and automotive components, utilizing large container vessels for worldwide distribution. This practice is economical in terms of long-distance bulk shipping, promising on-time and safe delivery. Illustratively, data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), a lobbying and standardization organization based in Belgium serving the auto industry in the European Union, indicated that in May 2023, global motor vehicle production stood at 85.4 million units in 2022, marking a 5.7% rise from 2021. Consequently, the rise in automotive production is fuelling the cargo shipping industry's growth.
