Increasing Dredging Activities and Government Investments to Boost the Global Dredging Hose Market

Published: May 2023

A dredging hose is a specialized hose used in dredging operations to transport sediments, debris, and other materials from one location to another. These hoses are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of dredging, including abrasion, impact, and corrosion. The demand for dredging hoses is increasing due to the growth of dredging activities in various industries, such as marine, oil and gas, and mining. As these industries expand, there is a greater need for efficient and reliable dredging equipment, including hoses. In addition, advances in dredging technology have led to the development of more advanced and durable dredging hoses that can handle larger volumes of material and operate in more challenging environments. This has further fueled the demand for dredging hoses in the market. Additionally, the global dredging hose market was valued at $130.4 million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach $155.9 million in 2026.

Some of the major players operating in the global dredging hose market include Trelleborg AB, Salem-Republic Rubber Co., VMI, Inc., The Weir Group PLC, and Able Hose & Rubber LLC. These companies are offering various types of dredging hoses for different applications such as suction and discharge.

Market trends

Increasing Dredging Activities to Boost the Market

As the demand for marine transportation and the size of ships increases, there is an increasing requirement for dredging to be conducted more frequently and on a larger scale. This increase in dredging projects will lead to an increase in the demand for dredging hoses. For instance, in March 2023, The Dutra Group, a dredging and marine construction contractor based in San Rafael, California, was granted a dredging contract worth $67.4 million by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This firm-fixed-price award requires Dutra to undertake dredging work in Norfolk, Virginia, using either hopper or mechanical dredging methods. Dutra may also be responsible for cleaning up the dredged material as part of this contract.

Adoption of New Materials and Technologies

Manufacturers are exploring new materials and technologies to improve the performance and durability of dredging hoses. Some companies are using advanced polymer materials such as nylon, polyester, and others to create hoses that are more resistant to abrasion and corrosion. Additionally, there has been a growing trend toward the use of synthetic materials in the manufacturing of dredging hoses. Synthetic materials such as polyurethane, neoprene, and nitrile rubber are increasingly being used to create hoses that are more durable and resistant to wear and tear. For instance, Trelleborg, a global manufacturer of polymer-based products, offers a range of hoses for dredging applications made from synthetic materials such as nitrile rubber.

Government Initiatives

Governments across the globe are launching initiatives to increase dredging operations and making investments, which is assisting in the market’s growth. For instance, in March 2023, São Paulo State, in collaboration with the federal government, announced its plans to invest $57 million in the Tietê-Paraná waterway project. The state administration announced in a press release that investments will be made in dredging operations to increase navigability during dry seasons. The project will deepen 16km in the Nova Avanhandava region by 3.5m.

Rising energy demand is also supporting the rise in dredging projects. The governments, along with the companies, are constructing offshore oil and gas and wind energy infrastructure to fulfill future energy demand, which is augmenting the growth of dredging activities across the globe. For instance, in April 2020, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $20 million investment in offshore wind energy resource characterization and technology demonstrations.
