What main drivers are fueling expansion in the automated container terminal market?

With the rise in the number of container ports, the automated container terminal market is anticipated to experience substantial growth. Container ports, otherwise known as container terminals, handle the transference of cargo containers among various transport modes for further shipments. Automated container terminals prove to be more efficient and high-yielding compared to their conventional manual counterparts. They can handle containers swiftly and accurately, ensuring faster ship turnover times and amplified terminal capacity. Given the persistent expansion of global trade, the need for efficient container terminals that can manage high throughput is becoming even more pressing. For example, the UK-based Department for Transport’s Port freight annual statistics revealed in July 2023 that UK ports processed a total of 458.9 million tonnes of cargo in 2022, marking a 3% growth from 2021. This growing number of container ports, therefore, is propelling the rise of the automated container terminal market.
