China Shipbuilding Industry Forecast  

China has attained status of the world's largest exporting nation by surpassing Germany after exporting goods worth US$ 521.7 Billion in the first half of 2009. Around 90% of the trade around the world has been done by sea. Thus, the growing import and export activities reflect the potential of shipbuilding industry in China, and its share in the global vessels production is expected to reach around 40% by 2012 from 29.5% in 2008.

The Chinese government has announced a series of new measures to boost the shipbuilding industry, which showed signs of slowdown in the backdrop of worsening global financial turmoil. The government has approved a stimulus package for the shipbuilding industry in a bid to help the emerging sector sail through tough economic time. Besides, it is encouraging financial institutions to lend more to ship buyers and offer incentives for purchasers of ocean-going ships.

Apart from the government support, low labor and raw material cost coupled with the easy availability as compared to other leading shipbuilding nations are giving an edge to the Chinese shipbuilding industry over its competitors.
