Global Automated Container Terminal Market Size Expands at Significant CAGR of 7.51% to Touch USD 16.2 Billion by 2029

Published | 16 November 2023

Global automated container terminal market is flourishing because of the spurring demand for large container ships and increasing investments in infrastructure development and port modernization projects by governments.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the global automated container terminal market size at USD 9.8 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, BlueWeave expects the global automated container terminal market size to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.51% reaching a value of USD 16.2 billion by 2029. Major growth drivers for the global automated container terminal market include the growing demand for container shipping, increasing globalization & e-commerce, and rapid urbanization. Automated container terminals, known for their superior efficiency compared to traditional counterparts, are especially crucial for ports facing capacity constraints. They contribute to sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and emissions. Advancements in automation, including autonomous vehicles and machine learning, are paving the way for advanced and efficient terminal solutions. These automated terminals have the potential to cut labor and maintenance costs, enhance safety, and give ports a competitive edge in a highly competitive landscape. India and other Asian countries, with their burgeoning import and export activities, are emerging as significant markets. However, due to the cost-intensive nature of fully automated terminals, developed countries like the United States and China lead in their adoption, while emerging economies often opt for semi-automated solutions. This dynamic market aligns with the evolving demands of global trade and shipping.

Automated Container Terminal – Overview

Automated container terminals utilize advanced technology for the efficient transportation of loaded containers between different modes of transport. They come in two forms: semi-automated and fully automated, with the latter controlling both Yard Cranes (YC) and Horizontal Transport (HT) from a central room. These terminals have evolved with the introduction of Quay Cranes, which rely on infrastructure and advanced imaging technology. While full automation is not yet widespread globally, semi-automated terminals dominate the market. They offer cost savings for shipping companies, 24/7 operations, and the ability to adapt to changing delivery methods and schedules through simulation technology. Challenges include illegible ID numbers and external factors like labor disputes and government policies. Automated container terminals enhance safety and efficiency in container handling.
