This inland waterway freight transport market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry. The global inland water freight transport market size will grow from $16.99 billion in 2022 to $17.82 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global inland water freight transport market size is expected to grow to $20.70 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 3.8%. The need for economical transportation for cargo has been the main driving factor for the inland water freight transport market. Water freight is usually considered inexpensive and economical for heavier cargo because of the difference in fare charging in comparison to other modes of transport. On water transport, the rate is often calculated by the cubic metre of the standard container. On the other hand, in air transport, the chargeable weight is calculated by a combination of size and weight of cargo. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, goods worth approximately $736 billion were shipped through ocean vessels in 2000, and by 2020, international trade is expected to double within the US, with the majority of the trade expected to move via ocean shipping. According to the World Bank, which is the major financer of India's National Waterway Project, the cost of transporting one tonne of freight over 100 km through roadways is around $3.07; through railways it is around $1.93; and through waterways it is around $1.62; and this makes waterways the economical way of transporting cargo in India. Volatility in the crude oil price is impacting water transport, and therefore it is expected to restrain the market for inland water freight transport during the period. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, fuel oil is a major source powering the global economy and supplies 95% of the energy used in world transport. Water transport carries over 80% of global merchandise trade by volume and is highly dependent on oil. As the cost of oil rises, the carriers are forced to raise prices or bear losses. Usually, the receiver is charged more to make up for the added costs. Higher fuel costs cause product inflation and affect every aspect of product transportation. When fuel prices fall, the consumer receives goods at a low price, and logistics companies use the saved money to improve their operations. Fuel price changes have a direct impact on operational costs. For instance, according to US energy information administration data, crude oil prices rose during the year 2021, with Brent crude oil spot prices averaging $71/b for the year compared with $42/b in 2020, thus increasing the operating costs of water transport and hindering the inland water freight transport market's growth. The development of information technology platforms for better vessel management is an emerging trend in the inland water freight transport market. For instance, in April 2021, according to research published in Springer, a Germany based publishing company, about 80% of global trade by volume was carried by waterways, with a fleet of 95402 ships in 2019. Information technology on ships is used for fuel optimization and monitoring vessel performance, recognising scanned copies and photos of documents, customer relationship management, warehouse management, and Que management systems. A few significant online apps and portals used for operations management on ships are BunkerEx, an online portal for ship owners helping in finding optimal bunker ports; Nautilus Labs, which takes data from sensors, manual reports, and market information to get a unified fleet intelligence picture; and Radiantfleet, with its software, helps in digitising workflows, cutting costs, and improving budgeting. Therefore, the combination of digital and physical connectivity helps carriers and seaports integrate their processes with shippers and track devices for containers and cargo.

A rise in maritime security investment will anticipate the growth of the battle force ship market. Maritime security basically deals with safety and security concerns regarding the prevention of intentional damage through sabotage, subversion, or terrorism. According to reports from the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority, in 2020, Ghana’s Maritime Security is buckling up for increasing investments to enhance security to protect Ghana’s territorial waters following rising maritime insecurity threats across the West African sub-region. Thus, increased investment in maritime security is expected to boost the growth of the battle force ship market. The economic slowdown due to the COVID-19 impact is expected to limit the growth of the battle force ship market. The COVID-19 outbreak has led to restrictive containment measures that have involved closures of economic activities across the world, and their revival would be a serious challenge. In many countries, to cope with a declining economy, there are cost cuts in the budget for many sectors. For instance, in India, the defence budget is expected to be slashed by 20% to 40%, which is between $5.36 billion and $10.71 billion (INR 40,000 crore and INR 80,000 crore). Due to low budgets, the navy had to rethink its plan to have 200 warships by 2027. Therefore, the economic slowdown has resulted in low budget allocation in the defence sector, and the low budget can hamper the growth of the battle force ship market during the period. The rise in the use of 3D printing technology for shipbuilding is gradually increasing for battle force ships, which is likely to be an emerging trend in the market. 3D printing is a computer-controlled process in which materials are layered consecutively to form objects.
