    What is smart port?

    Smart ports are automated ports that employ innovative technologies to enhance performance by increasing efficiency and security. As per the World Trade Organization, over 80% of the world’s freight is transported using ports, one of the most important logistics centers across the globe. These automated ports with the use of evolving technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Big Data are becoming more environmentally sustainable, economically efficient and capable of handling increased port traffic. There are several emerging technologies, systems and solutions that are entering into this otherwise considered as conservative and “resistant to change” industry. This trend is expected to continue in the future, altering this notion.

    Segment Analysis

    Throughput Capacity Trend

    The market is segmented as extensively busy, moderately busy, and scarcely busy. The extensively busy segment held more than 46.5% share of the market in 2021, and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period.

    This segmentation is based on the handling capacity of the ports, in terms of twenty feet equivalent (TEU). Ports with a throughput capacity of more than 18 million TEU are classified as extensively busy ports, those with a throughput capacity between 5 to 18 million TEU are classified as moderately busy ports, and the rest are classified as scarcely throughput ports.

    The extensively busy ports have the highest potential to invest in implementing smart technologies and solutions in the ports as they generate high revenue.

    Technology Trend

    The market is segmented as process automation, internet of things, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. The process automation segment held more than 32% of market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at the highest rate during the assessment period.

    The demand of the segment is because process automation reduces the need of human intervention by using technology to automate business processes. The degree of automation differs from port to port, depending on its capacity, economic value, location, and the amount of cargo it handles.

    Port Trend

    The market is segmented as seaport and inland port. The seaport segment seems to be dominating the market during the following period. Seaports handle passenger traffic, along with a huge amount of small to large cargo. And hence, these ports have strong demand for smart technologies to ensure efficient dock operations.

    Regional Analysis

    Asia-Pacific held more than 35% market share in 2021 and is estimated to be the largest market during the forecast period, with China, Japan, and India being the major countries with lucrative growth opportunities. This rise can be attributed to the rapid industrialization, growing manufacturing sectors, increasing logistic and packaging industries, and fastest-growing economies in the region. In the past few years, there has been a gradual increase in the bulk of trade, globally.
