Global Dry Bulk Shipping Industry Report: 2011 Edition Price: $800.00 (€608.69) ($960.00 (€730.42) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: May-2011 Format: PDF Email Pages: 38 Publisher: Koncept Analytics Economies of the various nations of the world, both developing and developed have grown manifold over the past few decades. One of the most important features of growth in world economies and globalization in recent years is the dry shipping market which constitutes the back bone of the international trade. Having shown a growth over the past several years with the exception of year 2009, the global seaborne dry bulk trade is expected to continue to grow at a CAGR of approximately 4.6% during the period spanning 2011 to 2013. Iron ore constitutes the largest share in seaborne dry bulk trade, followed by coal, grain and other minor bulks. The global seaborne iron ore trade has shown constant growth in the past decade and the same is expected to continue in the years ahead due to expected growth in demand and production of steel in many major economies, mainly in China and Japan. Coal, used worldwide as a source of energy and steel production, is another important constituent of global seaborne dry bulk trade. The demand for coal, both thermal and coking coal, increased in 2010 in the light of growth in all major markets and the same is anticipated to continue to increase due to growing imports of thermal coal by China and rising demand for coking coal, particularly from Japan. The worldwide seaborne grain trade also increased in 2010 after registering a decline in 2009, on the back of economic recovery in the importing regions. Of all the seaborne dry bulk trade, Asian nations are the largest consumers with China being the largest consumer of iron ore and Japan being the largest importer of thermal coal. The major exporters of dry bulk commodities are Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, and North America. The total dry bulk fleet, which comprises our types of vessels: capesize, panamax, handymax, and handysize; is showing a steady growth on the back of increased new orders and reduced scrapping of dry bulk vessels. The growing increase in industrial production in emerging and developing economies like China and South East Asian countries constitutes a major driving force and is expected to translate into continued increase in demand for dry bulk commodities in the following years. Another major factor of growth of seaborne dry bulk trade is rising steel production and growing demand for energy, necessitating increased trade of iron ore and coal. Rising world population and economic recovery in the importing regions will drive the demand and trade of grains, thus contributing in the overall growth of global seaborne dry bulk trade. The global dry bulk shipping market is intensely competitive and fragmented with no single owner accounting for clear majority share. However, due to low entry barriers in the market, there stands a risk of increased competition by new entrants. The companies operating in the industry compete mainly on the basis of vessel capacity, fleet size, and price, among other such factors. The report provides an analysis of the global seaborne dry bulk industry with a focus on major commodities like iron ore, coal and grain. It assesses the factors that are influencing the demand and supply of dry bulk vessels. It also presents a competitive landscape of the dry bulk shipping industry with a focus on leading carriers and their respective business strategies. By combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with our relevant findings, we have predicted the future growth of the industry. We employed various significant variables that have an impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS Base to determine the future direction of the industry. Before deploying the regression model, the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and the dependent variable was analyzed using standard SPSS output, including charts, tables and tests.

Global Dry Bulk Shipping Industry: An Analysis Price: $800.00 (€608.69) ($960.00 (€730.42) Including VAT at 20%) Publication Date: 01-Jan-2009 Format: PDF Email Pages: 36 Publisher: Koncept Analytics Despite economic recession, the fundamentals of the dry bulk industry remain attractive with demand for dry bulk commodities continue to be positive. The primary driver for the dry bulk shipping industry continues to be sustained demand in East Asia led by strong demand for commodities in China and increasingly India. China’s infrastructure building programs as per its 11th Five Year Plan will continue to drive demand for steel and that in turn will stimulate demand for iron ore and coal. Driven by infrastructure spending by the government, over time, China has become the epicenter of dry bulk demand. With China’s import of 2 billion tonnes of iron-ore, coal and grain in the year 2007 and its steel production increasing by 16.5% in the same year, the global dry bulk industry is expected to continue its growth momentum, albeit at a slower rate in the next few years. Further with high growth of Indian economy and scarcity of its natural resources, India is likely to continue its demand for dry bulk commodities. The demand for two commodities - coal and iron ore will drive the dry bulk industry in the near future. As the demand for steel is growing, especially in the Asian countries, iron ore is expected to see the highest growth among the dry bulk commodities. Further, coal is also likely to be much-in-demand commodity with new power plants being installed in the Asian countries. The report analyzes the global seaborne dry bulk industry with a focus on major commodities like iron ore, coal and grain. It assesses the factors that are influencing the demand and supply of dry bulk vessels. Further, the major growth drivers that will have an impact on the future growth of the dry bulk industry have been analyzed in the report. The competitive landscape of the dry bulk shipping industry has been presented in the report with a focus on six leading carriers including DryShips, Diana Shipping, Excel Maritime, Navios Maritime, Genco Shipping and Eagle Bulk.
