Global Dredging Market Overview
The dredging industry is majorly driven by the water-borne trade. Transportation of goods takes place through accessible water routes and ports. Seaborne trade accounts for the bulk of world trade and largely determined by global economic developments. This has created an omnipresent need for expanding existing ports and further maintaining the existing waterways as well as constructing new ports and waterways. This work is carried out by dredging companies situated globally, thus driving the global market.

The world population is continuously growing at a steady pace. To keep up with the projected increase in population, countries must continue to develop their urban areas. When growing population places pressure on countries with limited space to urbanize, the ability to expand their buildable land area can alleviate this problem. This need resulted in land reclamation becoming a major driver for the dredging industry. Thus, the growing population acts as a driver for the market. On the other hand, the high cost of investment can act as a potential restraint for the overall market.
