REPORT AND

2018
FOREWORD
These are indeed interesting times in the Indian container trade.
The last couple of months have seen relaxation of Cabotage and
Direct Port Delivery ease the woes of shippers, while expediting the
movement of boxes. This reflects in the trade performance recorded in
the first quarter of 2018 which was better than the past two years.
In FY 2017-18, total throughput of Indian container terminals
registered was 15,372,931 teus with year-on-year growth of 12
per cent. In the same year, total installed capacity registered was
27,050,000 teus, reflecting on lower capacity utilization at overall level
that stood at 57 per cent. But imports and exports grew by 16 per cent
and 7 per cent respectively and significantly higher than estimated
global containerized demand growth of 3 to 4 per cent. This bears
witness to the positive trajectory the Indian container market has
posted during FY 2017-18.
There has been a lot of shakeup in the industry in the name of liner
consolidation, digitalisation and infrastructure upgrades. But this
rebound in trade indicates that the economy has been able to tide
over all these, including the impact of regulatory reforms such as
demonetisation and implementation of GST.
With these developments in the background, the sixth edition of Indian
Container Market Annual Report developed by Maritime Gateway in
collaboration with Drewry Maritime Research and Consulting Firm,
attempts to capture the pulse of India’s containerised trade and the
performance of ports and terminals on either coasts of India.
We hope you find this report insightful and it provides a clear picture of
the changing trade dynamics.

ABOUT DREWRY
Drewry is proud to be associated with Maritime Gateway as
Knowledge Partner for Containers India 2018. It is our pleasure to
present this white paper.
Faster and efficient cargo movement between economies is the
cause and effect of a wider phenomenon called globalisation. Indian
economy, after its liberalisation in 1990s, has undergone tremendous
change. The country’s production/consumption base has increased
leading to higher exports and imports. This paper tries to capture
the spatial distribution of cargo centres spread across the country
while mapping the partners in international trade. In India, cargo
clusters are formed mainly around existing clusters rather than as
a consequence of policy intervention or infrastructural facilities.
As a result, few new industrial clusters have been developed. As
far as trade partners are concerned, India has diversified its export
destinations, while a large chunk of its imports are sourced from
countries in the Far East and South East Asia. China managed to
capture a major portion of the Indian import market, whereas USA
continues to be the top export destination.

INDIAN
CONTAINER MARKET
OVERVIEW
India edged past France and became the sixth-largest economy in the world in 2018. Although
the Indian economy decelerated in 2017 due to short-lived shocks like demonetisation and
the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), it bounced on the back of strong
fundamentals. Bilateral trade with China was at a historic high in 2017 despite many tensions
between the countries.
India’s container port traffic grew by 13% in 2017, following 11% growth in 2016. All Indian ports
recorded positive growth during the year, barring one or two ports. Mundra’s traffic grew by more
than 20%, and JNPT’s traffic inched up by 4.8% in 2017. On the east coast, Chennai increased its
port throughput by 1.6%. Furthermore, Krishnapatnam - a new port - has been growing at a fast
pace.

Market Segmentation 2018


Major vs Non-major ports
Major ports have lost a significant share of container traffic to non-major ports during the last
decade. The market share of non-major ports has surged by more than five times in the previous
13 years from 2005. The market share of terminals (in terms of traffic) operating in major ports
plummeted from 92% in 2005 to 59% in 2017. The rapid expansion of private terminal operators
in non-major ports diverted a significant chunk of cargo to these private ports. The market share
(in terms of container traffic) of non-major ports collectively rose to a whopping 41% in 2017
from a paltry 3% in 2005. Krishnapatnam and Katupalli on the east coast of India, operational
since 2013, have amassed significant volume in four years. These ports have been adding to
the growth story of non-major ports, previously driven by Mundra and Pipavav. In 2017, among
non-major ports, only Pipavav has registered a 3% decline in container traffic. Neighbouring port
Mundra handled 22.4% more boxes over 2016 and Hazira’s container traffic increased by 27.6%

East coast ports vs west coast ports

Ports on the west coast dominate the container infrastructure and throughput in India. More than
70% of the country’s containers are handled at the west coast ports. We expect this dominance
to continue, though handling at east coast ports has accelerated in recent years with new private
ports.

Eastbound vs westbound cargo flow


The rise in dependency on eastern countries was mainly due to India’s increased sourcing of
goods from China and other Asian countries. This coincides with Chinese entry in the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) 2001. While India’s dependency on the east as the export destination did not
change much, but as the import source, the importance of the east increased drastically. 49% of
India’s import was from the east in 2017, which was just 30% in 2000.
Major containerised/containerisable exim cargo
For analysis, we have divided all traded commodities into 33 major categories, such as
Pharmaceuticals, Fabric/Yarn, Steel Products, Reefer Food Products and Readymade Garments
(RMG)/Textiles. As we do not have precise definitions of containerised and non-containerised cargo
from any authoritative source, the data has some subjectivity built in.
The RMG and Textile sector has traditionally maintained its top position in India’s export basket.
Exports in this sector rose from $4.7 billion in 1997 to $22.6 billion in 2017, a nearly five-fold increase
in the last 20 years. Chemicals followed RMG/Textiles with an export value of $20 billion in 2017,
from a mere $2 billion in 1997. Other sectors that witnessed a massive surge in India’s exports are
Steel Products, Reefer Food Products and Fabric/Yarn. The following chart depicts the share of major
cargo types in the overall exports from India.

On the import side, the Electric and Electronic Goods segment is the largest product category
imported into India. In the calendar year 2017, India imported $46 billion worth of electrical and
8
INDIAN CONTAINER MARKET REPORT 2018

electronic goods compared with just $18 billion in 2007. Rising income levels, as well as the invention
of user-friendly technology, combined with economies of scale in the production process in the Far
Eastern countries, have led to high demand for electronic goods in India and elsewhere.

Advanced mechanisation and industrialisation in the country have pushed imports of machinery and
spare parts to a new level. The country imported $29 billion worth of machinery and spare parts in
2017 over $19 billion a decade ago. In India’s import basket, Chemicals and Steel Products occupy
third and fourth positions respectively, followed by Polymer and Polymer products.

MAPPING

A
fter analysing the major containerised cargo being traded by India, let us shift our focus
to the spatial distribution of exim cargo production/consumption centres. In India,
no government or non-government agency publishes trade data based on state-wise
export and import. Hence, in the absence of such data, Drewry has estimated the volume of
cargo being exported and imported by production centres/states. We have identified 11 major
industrial clusters in India that constitute more than 80% of the cargo traded by India globally.
The following two maps showcase the significant industrial/cargo clusters in India and their
respective share in India’s total exports/imports, along with their primary cargo profile.
We foresee growth continuing in India’s container trade. Drewry does not expect any drastic
shift, in terms of major cargo centres or their share in India’s total trade. We could see some
change only after the commissioning of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) and the proposed
Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). DMIC will focus on the creation of industrial zones/
clusters, while DFC will focus on the speedy and effective transportation of goods between
these clusters and the ports on the western coast of India. DMIC would also include the
development of requisite feeder rail/road connectivity to hinterland/markets and select ports
along the west coast. Various investment regions and industrial parks have been proposed
along the DMIC corridor to support industrial development. We expect the first phase of the
DMIC to be commissioned by 2020-21. These two projects will give a much-needed boost to
10 India’s trade and commerce, if commissioned in a time bound manner.

TRADE LANES

Major trade partners


China’s position as an export partner has strengthened tremendously in the last 20 years - the
country, which stood 13th in 1997, stood at the third position in 2017– within two decades. The
US has been the preferred destination of Indian exports and has remained at the top for many
decades. The UAE, which stood at the fourth position in 1997 became the second preferred
export destination by 2007 and maintained its rank until 2017. India, in 2017, exported more
than a quarter of its global exports to the US, China and the UAE.
Vietnam is perhaps the only country that has shown tremendous interest in Indian products -
the highest improvement in the last 20 years – from 38th position in 1997 to fourth in 2017. The
country ranks first in India’s exports of Reefer Food Products. About 26% of India’s total exports
of Reefer Food Products are destined for Vietnam.
India’s exports are more diversified than imports. Imports from the top 20 countries accounted
for nearly 81% of India’s total imports in 2017. By comparison, the top 20 export destinations
(countries) constituted only 67% of India’s global exports. 11

China’s position as an import source has strengthened in the last 20 years. China stood at the ninth
position in 1997 as far as India’s imports are concerned. Its entry into the WTO in 2001 provided a boost to
its global exports. By 2007, it became the preferred source of imports in India and many other countries. In
2017, China accounted for 31% of India’s total imports. The reason for the rise is the cost-effectiveness of
some of its goods. Input costs in China are much lower than in India, and the scale of operations of many
players is much higher than Indian operational units. Some products can be manufactured at a third of the
price at which they are made in India. The range of products that have been imported has been expanding.
Apart from China, Indian imports have improved from some of the East and South East Asian countries, for
example, South Korea, Indonesia and Thailand. The share of US products in the Indian market has declined
and constituted only 6% in 2017.

TOP COMMODITY-
PARTNER MATRIX

RMG/textile is the most exported commodity by India, the bulk of this commodity is exported to
North America (28%) and the remaining to Western Europe.
Chemicals are the second largest exported product. Although the US is the top export destination for
Indian manufactured chemicals, India exports a considerable amount of chemicals to China. On the
import side, India imports chemicals mostly from China, Saudi Arabia, the US and Singapore. These
four countries account for more than half of India’s chemical imports, in terms of value.
India is one of the top 10 steel exporters of the world. In 2013, steel products worth $18.4 billion were
exported, making it the third highest commodity exported. Steel products were also the fourth largest
commodities imported by India in 2017. While the US, Italy and the UAE are the three top export
destinations for Indian steel products, China, Korea and Japan are the top three imports sources.
For imports, the top two items are Electrical & Electronic Goods and Machinery and Spares. China
with its input cost advantage offers products that are about 30-50% cheaper than India. Even though
it hurts many manufacturers in India, the volume of imports from China has increased manifold in
the last few years. In 2017, India imported $27.3 billion worth of electrical and electronic goods from
China, which is nearly 60% of its global imports. The other major source of import is South Korea.
Reefer Food Products is another category that is exported in large quantity from India, mostly
destined for countries in South East Asia, the US and the UAE. Meanwhile, India also imports plenty
of Reefer Products. This product category ranks fourth on India’s exports, whereas it ranks seventh
on the imports commodity list. Import sources for reefer food products are more diversified than
16 exports.

AVERAGE VESSEL SIZE


AT INDIAN PORTS
With the increase in cargo volume and the proliferation of private ports in India, the number of
services calling has increased over the years. Thirty-seven mainline services called at Indian ports in
2011, which rose to 45 in July 2018.
India is on the main east-west trade route (Asia-Europe) and the average vessel size calling at Indian
ports has also increased. The average vessel size at Indian ports was 3,715 teu in 2011, which
strengthened to 6,239 teu in 2018. An illustration of average vessel sizes for major trade lanes is
shown in the figure below.
