Fender Rope Market Growth Accelerated by Increased Offshore Oil and Gas Exploration Activities
A fender rope is a type of rope commonly used for mooring
and towing large ships and offshore oil and gas rigs. Fender ropes are made
from durable synthetic fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and
polyester which offer superior strength, flexibility, and resistance to
environmental degradation as compared to conventional natural fiber ropes. The
growing offshore oil and gas exploration activities around the world have
driven the demand for specialized ships and rigs that require heavy-duty
mooring solutions. The global fender rope market is estimated to be valued at
US$ 679.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.7% over the
forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent
Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The demand for fender ropes has been accelerated by increased offshore oil and
gas exploration activities in recent years. Many countries globally have
launched initiatives to boost oil and gas production from offshore reserves to
ensure long-term energy security and reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports.
This has led to significant investments in offshore rigs, drill ships, and
floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels. Ensuring safety and
reliability of mooring systems for such specialized vessels operating in deep
waters requires high-performance ropes made of durable synthetic materials. The
development of larger offshore projects and fields located farther from
coastlines is expected to drive the need for advanced fender ropes over the
forecast period.
Segment Analysis
The global fender rope market is segmented based on material type into polyamide,
polypropylene, polyethylene and others. Among these, the polyamide segment
dominates the market and accounts for over 30% share. Polyamide offers high
strength and durability and withstands tough environmental conditions on marine
vessels. Thus it is widely used in manufacturing fender ropes.
The global fender rope market is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. The market demand is driven by increasing maritime trade activities and expansion of ports and harbors across the world.
Regional analysis: The Asia Pacific region dominates the global fender rope market and is projected to grow at the fastest pace during the forecast period. The growth in the region is attributed to the presence of leading shipbuilding countries including China, Japan and South Korea. Additionally, growing seaborne trade between countries is augmenting the use of fender ropes in this region.
