Why did the blockade become more effective by 1863?
It was because most of the blockade runners didn't give up the fight and they kept on trying. (New Respondent) I feel that the first Respondent is answering a different question. The blockade became more effective because the Emancipation Proclamation discouraged the British from building blockade-runners for the Confederates, for fear of looking pro-slavery. Meanwhile the Union navy had built-up a bigger fleet, and New Orleans had fallen to the North.

What had been the results of the Union blockade up until 1863?
In 1861 and 1862, the Union attempted via its blockade strategy, to economically strangle the Southern rebellion. There were no tangible results of any magnitude. Part of the reason was that the Union's high military command had been focused of capturing Richmond, protecting Washington DC and fending off the Maryland raid and the Battle of Antietam. By the beginning of 1863, it was clear that the Union's blockade could only produce marginal results. Unless, in 1863, the Confederate army could be defeated in the field of battle, Souther supply sources provided food and the embargo still allowed for the import of rifles as one example.

Why was Wilmington North Carolina a valuable port for the South?
During the course of the US Civil War, Wilmington North Carolina had been of enormous value to the South. After the North recaptured Norfolk Virginia, in 1862, Wilmington was the closest port of any size to Richmond. By the Summer of 1863 it became the single most important center for blockade running.
