Growth in the shipping industry: a major market driver

Growth in the shipping industry is one of the major factors driving the
global foam
core materials market. Maritime transport is important to the
world’s economy as more than 90% of the trade is carried out through the
sea route. In 2015, the World Trade Organization (WTO) estimated that
the seaborne freight accounted for more than 30% of the world transport.
In 2015, the estimated world seaborne trade was 10 billion tons in terms
of volume. With the increase in globalization, the maritime transport
facilitates industrial development by supporting growth in the
manufacturing industries, promoting trade integration, and aiding
economic growth. In 2015, dry cargo shipments accounted for a share of
more than 70% of the total seaborne trade in terms of volume.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on specialty
chemicals, “In 2016, the global commercial marine fleet
consisted of more than 90,000 vessels with a combined capacity of over
1.8 billion dead-weight tons. Many ship-owners are from countries in
APAC such as China, Japan, and Singapore. The fleet is anticipated to
increase in the next five years. The rise in the sea trade activities is
expected to drive the demand for new vessels and consequently, increase
the demand for foam core materials used in the construction of ships
during the forecast period.”

APAC: largest foam core materials market

APAC dominated the global foam core materials market in 2017, accounting
for a market share of more than 37%. It was followed by North America
that contributed to a share of close to 26%. Europe contributed to a
market share of more than 20%, and the remaining 17% of the market share
was contributed by ROW.

Green bonds fueling demand for the market: a key market trend

Green bonds are tax-exempted bonds that are reserved for green
investments. Many banks have issued green bonds to gain access to a
specific set of global investors who invest in green ventures. For
instance, the Korean Development Bank had issued a green corporate bond
for the renewable energy projects worth USD 300 million in July 2017.
Furthermore, the National Bank of Australia had issued green bonds in
the connection to a range of seventeen wind and solar farms. These green
bonds are anticipated to promote the growth of the global wind energy
market. The issuing of such bonds is driving the installation of wind
turbines. In addition, these bonds allow companies to be a part of the
liquid green bonds asset class thereby allowing admission into a broader
investor base by providing a reduced cost of capital.
