Battery electric vehicles now account for 15.4% of market share, supporting long-term trade prospects. **Robust trading activity observed recently in anticipation of upcoming tariff changes** Seaborne transport volumes exceeded expectations in April and May, driven largely by frontloading ahead of new US tariffs. Some of this effect may persist into June, with normalization anticipated from July onward. While fleet expansion—expected to reach 12% in 2025—remains a key consideration, recent demand resilience and strong long-haul trades are contributing to a more balanced short-term outlook. *Source: Fearnleys Securities* --- #### Tag: [Market update](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/tag/market-update) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/stable-pctc-demand-amid-growing-fleet) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/stable-pctc-demand-amid-growing-fleet&text=Stable%20PCTC%20demand%20amid%20growing%20fleet) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/stable-pctc-demand-amid-growing-fleet) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/stable-pctc-demand-amid-growing-fleet&text=Stable%20PCTC%20demand%20amid%20growing%20fleetdescription=Market%20growth%20is%20gaining%20momentum%20following%20a%20subdued%20start%20to%202025%20The%20PCTC%20market%20remains%20stable,%20with%20EU%20new%20car%20registrations%20increasing%20by%201.6%%20in[...]&media=https://143789414.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/143789414/W26_article_3.jpg) --- #### [Market reacts sharply to Israel/Iran conflict Previous Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/market-reacts-sharply-to-israel/iran-conflict?hsLang=en) #### [Geopolitical Shifts Drive Gas & Tanker Market Next Post](https://blog.maritimefinance.ch/en/marketreportweekly/geopolitical-shifts-drive-gas-tanker-market?hsLang=en) --- ## Related Posts It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
