Marine Port Services Market Analysis

The Global Marine Port Service Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of greater than 5% during the forecast period.

The global supply chain in the maritime industry has been facing a series of challenges since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Port closures due to coronavirus outbreaks, port congestions, rising prices of bunker fuel, and problems with capacity utilization were plaguing the global marine port services industry for most of 2020 and 2021.

The demand for marine port services is directly influenced by international trade and economic cycles. The decreased production and consumption during the pandemic has led to a reduction in maritime trades, which, in turn, has reduced port traffic and shipping demand. A decrease in the demand for container transport has reduced activities in container handling ports. Thus, COVID-19 has had a negative impact on the port services market owing to the decreased demand for marine port services.

Accoridng to "The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP)", in Q1 of 2020, the container shipping volume worldwide reduced by 5.1% as compared to the same period in 2019. According to the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the revenue losses caused to the shipping industry due to the pandemic were USD 350 million per week. On the other hand, the recent spike in container freight rates turned out extremely profitable for marine port services operators who reported record high profit margins in 2021.

The future of the marine port services market looks promising as the global trade relies heavily on container shipping to move goods around the world which accelerates the marine port service industry. The major drivers of growth for this market are high growth of the marine transportation industry, rising customer demand and expansion of new ports across various regions and surging demand of containerized and bulk cargo.

Some of the emerging trends accelerating the marine port services market are vessel traffic services, marine port privatization, self-unloading bulk and carrier technology. Ports are progressively employing innovations in the entire value chain with a wide range of technologies. For instance, technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and platform solutions are used for loading & unloading containers.

Big data analytics and smart metering are used for storage facilities at ports, and smart energy management, predictive maintenance & smart grid technology are used for industrial processing. For instance, in 2020, Awake.AI was selected by the Port of Rotterdam for the development of the smart port project. Awake. AI fashioned a smart ship port call management system to test all transformational processes without threatening the port's massive operations.

Marine Port Services Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Marine Port Services Market according to our research experts:

Increasing Maritime Trade

According to data published by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), globalization has caused a steep increase in maritime trade over the past few decades. The volume of global seaborne trade more than double between 1990 and 2020. In 2020, the volume of global seaborne trade was estimated to be around 11 billion tons.

The surge in global sea trade is expected to increase the demand for product maritime transport, which is the pillar of international trade and the global economy. A rise in seaborne trade across the globe is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the global marine vessel industry forecast period.

As per the Maritime Publications, around 80% of the global trade by Volume and 70% of global trade by value are carried out via sea and are completely controlled by ports all over the world. Moreover, the rapid expansion of the developing countries and globalization are expected to play a major role in the increasing maritime trade.

Rising Container Handling Services are driving the market

Maritime shipping is the backbone of world trade; it is estimated that some 80 percent of all goods are carried by sea. With the growth of the world economy over the past decades, the volume of freight transported by ships has increased as well. In 2020, about 1.85 billion metric tons of cargo were shipped globally. Naturally, the global container fleet has grown in size as well. In January 2022, the global container shipping throughput recorded an index value of 123.3, an increase from 118.2 in December 2021, but lower than the value of 124.3 reported in August 2021.

Generally, the trend is positive for the index, even after the massive decrease caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the volume of containers transported globally shrank by about 0.8 percent in 2020. Container throughput in Europe shot up in 2021, rising by 4.6 percent compared to the previous year when the throughput had contracted by 3.2 percent.

Growing demand for the commercial fleet must be supported by better handling services and hence, with the incresing supply for the commercial fleet, the market for marine port services is expected to rise. In 2020, the global commercial shipping fleet grew by 3 per cent, reaching 99,800 ships of 100 gross tons and above. By January 2021, capacity was equivalent to 2,13 billion dead weight tons (dwt).
