Automated Container Terminal Market
Global Automated Container Terminal Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report, By Automation (Semi-Automated and Fully Automated), By Project Type (Greenfield and Brownfield), By Offering (Software and Services, and Equipment) and Forecast, 2019-2025
The global automated container terminal market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of more than 4.0% during the forecast period. The major factors contributing to the growth of the market include the significant rise in maritime trade activities and rising automation in ports. As per the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), In 2017, the global port activity and cargo handling of bulk and containerized cargo increased rapidly. This expansion was in line with positive trends in the world economy and seaborne trade. The global container terminals boasted an increase in the volume of about 6% during the year, up from 2.1% in 2016.
World container port throughput stood at 752 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), reflecting an additional 42.3 million TEUs in 2017, an amount comparable to the port throughput of Shanghai, the world’s busiest port. However, the port activity affected year over year due to the unstable economic and political conditions. Nearly 80% of the international trade is carried by sea which is handled by ports across the globe. Therefore, the port operators are working on modernizing port operations, which include cargo handling. Most of the seaports have started automation with crane motion control. Steady growth in maritime trade and a consequent increase in the size of ships, ports, and associated machinery, dockside cranes have become too large and cumbersome for manual control alone.
The applications of crane handling including steady luffing and anti-sway control and smooth lifting and lowering can be performed using advanced motor control systems. As container terminals are designed for higher productivity and more efficient operation, automation is supporting these major improvements all across the globe. A large number of terminals are focusing on the integration of automated solutions to fulfil the challenge associated with taller cranes and larger ships. The RWG and APMT container terminals at Maasvlakte 2, a civil engineering project in the port of Rotterdam (The Netherlands) are completely automated and unmanned. This involves the use of robots, with a height of over 125 metres.
Market Segmentation
The global automated container terminal market is segmented based on automation, project type, and offering. Based on automation, the market is classified into semi-automated and fully automated. Based on the project type, the market is classified into greenfield and brownfield. Based on offering, the market is classified into software and services, and equipment.
Semi-automated container terminals are anticipated to have a major share in the automation segment
Semi-automated container terminals are estimated to hold a significant share in 2018. A semi-automated container terminal automates the function of cargo-handling lifting in the yard automated stacking cranes (ASCs), however, the horizontal movement and transportation of containers from the berth to the stacks in the yard are carried out by traditional yard tractors which are driven by longshore workers. In case of disruptive events, completely automated machines can show slight resilience, which makes semi-automated terminals an appropriate option for minimizing risk. As a result, several port operators are focusing on semi-automated terminals to maintain a proper balance between manned and unmanned operations and achieve higher productivity.

Regional Outlook
The global automated container terminal market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is estimated to witness potential growth during the forecast period owing to the rising government initiatives to improve port infrastructure and emerging focus on automation in the ports. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is one of the infrastructure projects introduced in 2013 by President Xi Jinping. Under the initiative, the country is spending nearly $1 trillion that aims to connect ports and trade hubs from the Pacific to Northern Europe. As the country’s exports are increasing, the country is significantly improving maritime transportation, which in turn, is accelerating the need for automation in ports. In April 2018, the biggest automated port terminal across the globe opens in Shanghai. This new terminal can handle 6.3 million 20-foot shipping containers, weighing up to 136 million tons in a year.
