Market Overview
A smart port refers to an automated port that utilizes innovative technologies namely the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and Blockchain to augment its performance. Since the volume of trade is rising significantly, adopting such novel technologies have become critical, in order to improve internal efficiency and operations. Smart ports can also improve environmental sustainability as it incorporates the aforementioned technologies. Besides, smart ports can remain economically competitive, streamline workflow, and reduce costs.
The global Smart Ports Market was accounted for US$ 1,793.8 Mn in terms of value in 2019 and is expected to grow at CAGR of 27.7% for the period 2020-2027.
Market Dynamics- Drivers
- Rising emphasis on minimizing operational expenses is expected to drive growth of the global smart ports market during the forecast period
The global trade is increasing at a rapid pace with increased vessel size, traffic at ports, and cargo volumes. This, in turn, has increased workloads on shipyards and ports. According to the United Nations Comtrade (UN Comtrade), in 2018, the U.S. recorded the total trade of over US$ 949 billion, which is the most across the globe. Such rising trade requires operational efficiency with a streamlined workflow. Smart ports incorporate novel and cutting edge technologies such as AI and IoT, in order to enhance the operational efficiency of routine port activities. It reduces logistics costs and improves efficiency. Therefore, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global smart ports market during the forecast period.
- Growing concerns regarding environmental concerns are expected to propel the global smart ports market growth over the forecast period
Shipping industry contributes a massive carbon footprint worldwide. According to the International Transport Forum (ITF), around 85% of carbon dioxide emissions were produced by ports. This has necessitated a reduction of carbon footprint. Advanced technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence can help ports to achieve their targets and save energy consumed by infrastructure on premise. Thus, these factors are expected to propel the global smart ports market growth over the forecast period.
Statistics:
Asia Pacific held dominant position in the global Smart Ports market in 2019, accounting for 34.7% share in terms of value, followed by Europe and North America respectively

Smart Ports Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
Several governments across the globe such as India, Spain and Italy have imposed nationwide lockdown to restrict the spread of COVID-19 disease. For instance, Government of India have imposed lockdown from 25 March to 1 June until the further notice .Due to the Lockdown, there is a shortage of the workers at the ports. Due to the less manpower, the ports are struggling to move the products. In addition to this, due to the shortage of transportation facilities such as Trains and Heavy-duty Vehicles, manufactures are unable to ship their cargoes. Owing to the above mentioned factors, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to restrain the smart ports market growth in upcoming years.
