Mooring Ropes Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material Type ( Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene, High Modulus Polyethylene, Others (Steel, Hemp, sisal, and coir) ), By No. of Strands ( Up to 4 Strands, 4 to 10 Strands, Above 10 Strands ), By End-User ( Marine, Oil & Gas, Construction, Others (Cranes, Sports, and Industries) ) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Marine Industry plays a crucial role in the country's economy. Maritime transport is an integral part of international logistics and accounts for nearly 80% of the volume of global trade. Therefore, enhancement in international seaborne trading and maritime transport are shaping the macroeconomic factors worldwide. Mooring rope is the manila rope or a synthetic material such as nylon used in the marine industry extensively, which is made of different materials having specific characteristics, which makes ideal or unfavorable for a variety of applications found on a vessel. Mooring rope is chosen based on strength, elasticity, and chafe-resistance property of the material, which are used in varied applications.

Mooring Ropes are widely used for ship launching, marine salvage, and heavy transportation these days, whereas the most popular application of these mooring ropes, is to launch a ship. The use of airbags helps to remove the elimination of using tows and tugs as launching and landing instruments. Mooring Ropes are made of synthetic rubber as reinforcement layers and stringent quality control compliances. Mooring Ropes comprise three major parts, namely airbag body, airbag mouths, and airbag heads. It is considered more powerful and advanced tools for many marine projects, which includes disembarking ships, heavy transportation, and re-floating salvage.

The mooring ropes market is segmented into material type, no. of strands, end-user, and geography. Based on material type, the market is segmented into nylon, polyester, polypropylene, high modulus polyethylene, and others. The mooring ropes are dominated by the nylon segment owing to its wide range of applications in the marine & fishing industry. The no. of strands segment is further segmented into up to 4 strands, 4 to 10 strands, and above 10 strands. The 4 to 10 strands segment is expected to drive the market due to its superior mechanical strength, higher stretch resistance, and bending capability. Based on end-user, the mooring ropes market is segmented into marine, oil & gas, construction, and others. The marine segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the global market owing to wide applications such as inland shipping, anchor ropes, mooring lines, and other marine applications.

The increasing demand for mooring ropes in marine applications such as mooring lines, towing stretchers, mooring tails, and inland shipping drives the demand for the mooring ropes market during the forecast period. Rising demand for marine transportation, and increasing investments from construction activities, signifies promising opportunities for the growth of the mooring ropes market. However, variability in raw material prices restraints market growth.

Key Industry Developments

• In May 2019, Wilhelmsen group had introduced a unique solution for mooring rope, which reduces rope’s recoil and absorbs the snap-back forces, which are way more efficient and reliable for marine industry applications.


• In April 2018, WireCo WorldGroup Inc. had received a contract to provide deepwater mooring rope over 63,000m for the Shell Appomattox project, which is the longest rope meterage for a single deepwater mooring contract.
