Market Research Report of China Port Industry, 2008

Aug. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- www.shcri.com--Summary
In the whole year of 2007, the cargo throughput of China's port amounted to 6.41 billion tons, and the container throughput reached 114 million TEU. In the same year, the passenger throughput of the port increased to 206 million people.

The cargo throughput and container throughput of China's port, has been stable for four years the first in the world. China has accounted for the world container throughput of nearly 1 / 4.  It already has 14 large-scale ports with throughput of hundred million tons which owns the most.

In 2007, Coal, oil, metal ores, construction materials, steel, machinery equipment are the main port transport of goods, which occupied nearly 70% of the total freight. However the growth rates of cargo species differentiated. The growth rates of coal, steel, machinery and equipment got close to or higher than 20% or more. Relatively, oil and mine construction materials grew slowly whose growth rate was below 5%. And the port related to energy, industrial raw materials obtained rapid growth, mainly centralized in the North which highlighted in the heavy chemical industry, such as Qinhuangdao, Tianjin, Yingkou, Qingdao and Rizhao Port, becoming the fastest growing ports , whose growth rate is close to or over 20% or even more. However, the growth rate of the southern ports was below the average.

Strong import and export trade has increased the demand for coastal ports which leads to investment on the coastal port construction significantly higher than that of inland river ports. The differences of both investment and geographic location resulted in more achievements of the coastal port's construction than the river ports. As 10,000 tons to China's port measures, most are concentrated in coastal areas.

At present, the main features of China's port industry reflects more intense competition between ports and the cluster developing trend. The feature of clusters mainly refers to the formations of three major ports cluster in China's coastal areas from south to north: the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and the Bohai Bay's. The development of coastal ports faces competition and cooperation. With the continuous construction of the ports, the increasingly fierce competition between ports and the natural monopoly power of ports has been weakened a lot. Therefore, in order to take better advantage of the improvement of the maritime industry to deal with the fierce competition, mergers and reorganizations between ports present a trend.

The report has high reference value for understanding of China port industry status quo, seizing investment opportunities and avoiding the risk of them.
