Macro

2026-07-30

Description

China's Shipbuilding Completion Volume (Cumulative Value) is published by the China Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI). This indicator measures the total shipbuilding output completed within a specific period and is commonly used to observe the health and productivity of China's shipbuilding industry. Higher shipbuilding completion volumes typically indicate industry prosperity, which positively impacts related industries and the economy, while lower figures may suggest a slowdown in development.

The shipbuilding completion volume is calculated as the total deadweight tonnage of ships completed within a specific period. The cumulative value is obtained by summing the completion tonnages over multiple periods, providing a comprehensive view of the industry's output.

This data is usually updated monthly, with the cumulative value reflecting the total completion volume up to the current reporting period.

AI Data Insight

The latest data shows that China's cumulative shipbuilding completion volume reached 36.50 million deadweight tons (DWT) in the second quarter of 2026, surging significantly from 15.68 million DWT in the first quarter and demonstrating strong growth. At the same time, both new orders and orders on hand hit record highs, with the market share of green ships firmly maintaining its position as world number one. Looking ahead, fully booked schedules will support short-term profitability in the shipbuilding industry, but attention must be paid to potential geopolitical and trade barrier risks in the medium term.
