The global dredging market is likely to expand moderately at a CAGR of nearly 4% for the 2020-2030 forecast period. Growth is underpinned by increasing global trade and urbanization projects, considering the fact that over 70% of trade by volume and 80% of trade by value are carried through the sea. According to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the overall seaborne trade volumes surpassed 10 Billion tons in 2020, with shipment trade falling by 4% due to Covid-19 in 2020.
The outlook on global seaborne remains overly positive, with upcoming projects, such as the One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR) likely to provide growth opportunities to dredging manufacturers. The prospects of the dredging industry are closely tied with the broader developments in the global tourism sector, as the construction of new airports and beach replenishments accounts for a sizeable share of total revenues generated by dredging companies.

COVID-19 Impact Insights
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented recession which is expected to influence the dredging market size to a large extent. Massive production crunches across the oil & gas and tourism sectors are adversely impacting the dredging market.
As the pandemic spread, the grounding of aeroplanes and automobiles led to a massive downswing in the transportation sector. This resulted in an abrupt demand shock across the oil and gas industry, compelling oil-producing giants to cease production, leading to a glut in product inventories.
Fortunately, recent months have witnessed a shoring up of oil prices. Still, OPEC+ countries have curbed supply, with cuts amounting to 7.7 million barrels per day prevailing until December 2020. Such downswings are impacting dredging projects throughout the entire world.
The present-day slump in oil prices is akin to the 2008 financial crisis. Possible recovery is anticipated in 2021 or 2022, restoring prices to pre-crisis levels of US$ 50-60 per oil barrel. This projected favourable outlook is likely to restore prospects for the global dredging market, as companies are expected to resume exploration projects.
