Abstract: This article reviews the world economy, shipping and shipbuilding market in 2021, and the prospects of the shipbuilding market in 2022. In 2021, with the development of COVID-19, the fiscal and monetary policies launched by the major economies boosted the economic recovery to varying degrees, and the global economy rebounded as a whole, resulting in the growth of the international maritime trade. Each segment of the shipping market performs differently due to the different supply and demand. The bulk cargo market recovered strongly, the container transportation market was in high demand, and the offshore engineering market performed well, however the oil shipping market was in a downturn. The international new shipbuilding market was active in 2021, with new ship orders increased by 80% compared with 2020, and the new orders of container ships and liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships performed well. Looking ahead to 2022, high infrastructure demand and limited fleet capacity will continue to support the bulk carrier market. The increase of the global oil supply and demand makes a positive oil market outlook. The orders and deliveries of the container vessels will continue to remain high. The liquefied gas carrier shipping market will continue to maintain a high cyclical fluctuations with the regional differentiation. The offshore oil and gas production will continue to recover. Green and intelligence are still the two hot issues in the shipping market.
