As can be seen from the variety of historic and current pie charts, Europe dominates the business and as a percentage of<br />
the industry, the American business is losing market share; however, as a percentage of the new orders, America seems<br />
to be picking up speed; perhaps this is currency related.<br />
This year, when looking at Europe, their 72% market share can be further analysed to create some form of league table,<br />
with Italy obviously dominating the field, with over half of the EU units being built in their yards, more than all of the<br />
units in build outside of the EU. An impressive statistic, but one that clearly relates to their sheer volume of facilities<br />
and the capacity for the sub 50-metre projects<br />

across their territories. While Germany and<br />
The Netherlands show a sub 10% market share<br />
in terms of units, once again if we refer to the<br />
GT of their orders, the pie chart would change<br />
dramatically. Later on this year, this data will be<br />
presented on Synfo.com to clearly show who is<br />
leading the market in terms of number of units,<br />
who is leading the market in terms of volume<br />
and, perhaps one day, who is leading the market<br />
in terms of turnover or at least estimated contract<br />
value. It is very easy to create statistics from all of<br />
the data we collate and analyse and make them<br />
tell varying stories, but ultimately the best way to<br />
see who is in fact winning the real business is to<br />
refer back to the tables and look at the number<br />
of deliveries, the number of new orders; and the<br />
one that has the biggest volume of both is in fact<br />
surely the market leader. Until we can analyse GT<br />
in more detail and contract values, the true figure<br />
of who is the most financially successful is still<br />
speculative, but we have an idea.<br />
