Growing Need for Sustainable Logistics Boosting Zero Carbon Shipping Market
One of the primary drivers behind zero carbon shipping’s growth is the rising demand for sustainable logistics solutions. These solutions focus on minimizing environmental impacts throughout freight and supply chains by reducing emissions, energy consumption, and waste. An increasing number of shippers are prioritizing eco-friendly transportation options to fulfill corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals as well as to comply with regulatory requirements.

Zero carbon shipping plays a key role in enabling sustainable logistics by offering vessels and fuels that eliminate carbon emissions from maritime transport. This helps logistics providers lower their scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions from supply chain activities. For example, in June 2025, the International Council on Clean Transportation reported a 34% increase in zero-emission heavy-duty truck registrations in the US compared to the previous year, illustrating a broader movement toward zero-emission transport across sectors. Although zero-emission trucks made up only 0.40% of total heavy-duty trucks registered in 2024, their rapid growth highlights the increasing demand for sustainable transport options that also supports the zero carbon shipping market’s expansion.

Major Region Leading the Zero Carbon Shipping Market
In 2025, North America held the largest share of the zero carbon shipping market, underscoring its leadership in adopting sustainable maritime technologies. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market through the forecast period. The market report covers a broad regional landscape, including Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa, providing a comprehensive view of where future growth opportunities lie.
