2. Executive Summary
View Report Detail
The global dry bulk shipping industry is an essential part of the international shipping industry, with ocean-going vessels representing
the most efficient, and often the only method of transporting large volumes of basic commodities and finished products. The dry bulk
shipping is defined as the transportation of homogenous bulk cargoes by bulk vessels on an irregular scheduled line.
Iron ore, coal and grain are the three main constituents of the dry bulk shipping industry followed by some minor bulk commodities. Iron
ore constitutes for the major share in the industry followed by coal. Iron ore, coal and minor bulks have shown a tremendous growth in
past years and expected to continue this growth in the coming years. The total dry bulk fleet, which comprises four 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 key factors driving growth of the global dry bulk industry include rising urban population, ameliorate global economic development,
rising grain production and unceasingly climbing coal industry. Also, escalating steel industry, which is driving iron ore production, is a
major driver for seaborne dry bulk market. Some of the noteworthy developments of this industry include rebounded dry bulk freight
rates, shrinking charter hire prices and over-supply of dry bulk carrier capacity. However, the growth of respective industry is hindered
by the acts of piracy, adverse economic conditions and strict rules and regulations.
This report offers a comprehensive analysis of the worldwide dry bulk shipping market, along with an in-depth study of its commodities
market including iron ore, coal, grain and minor bulk. The report also includes the detailed description of regional markets including
China, Japan and Europe. The competition in the respective market is highly diversified, fragmented and also capital intensive. Some
of the major players are Diana Shipping, Dry Ships, Navios Maritime Holding and Genco Shipping, among others. The competitive
landscape of the global dry bulk shipping markets, along with the company profiles of the leading players are also discussed in detail.
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.
