Industry Overview


APSEZ Limited is the largest port operator and maritime logistics company in India. It faces competition from other key players such as Essar Shipping, Maersk, and Hapag-Lloyd. The respective market capitalisation of these key players is as follows:
  • Essar Shipping: ₹ 186 crore
  • Maersk: ₹ 2,94,685 crore
  • Hapag-Lloyd: ₹ 2,44,675 crore
An economy is supported by its logistics industry. India is among the world leaders, in terms of providing logistical services as of 2022. In the upcoming years, the market, which is currently valued at ₹25,000 crore, is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10-12%. In addition to other forms of transportation, the maritime logistics industry is one that has enormous potential but has not yet been completely explored.

Due to its advantageous location on the world's shipping lanes and one of the longest coastlines (approximately 7517 km), India has a sizable maritime industry. The potential for growing commerce volume is significant given that there are over 200 non-major ports, 12 large ports, and a vast network of navigable rivers.


Risks and concerns


This industry is constantly reminded that it cannot ignore the conventional risks it has faced for generations of the significant losses caused by natural disasters. Companies in this sector need to be ready for major storms at sea. This is especially crucial in the light of the intensity of natural weather disasters in recent years.
