Market Share of Cargo Shipping Industry
The cargo shipping market is fragmented in nature, with the presence of many international companies in the market. The top players in the segment include Maersk, MSC, CMA, COSCO, and Hapag Lloyd. High barriers to entry restrain the market due to the high cost of vehicles and increasing economies of scale, which affect competition in the industry. However, key players are involved in strategic partnerships and acquisitions to capture market share in the coming years.
- In January 2023, A.P. Moller-Maersk (Maersk) announced the completion of its acquisition of Martin Bencher Group, a Danish project logistics expert with premium capabilities within non-containerized project logistics and global operations. With the addition of Martin Bencher, these companies are strengthening their ability to offer project logistics services to their global clients while providing a more comprehensive offering to a wide array of industries.
