Dredging revenues are expected to increase from $15.7 billion in 2022 to $22.3 billion by 2032. According to FMI, the market will grow at a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period. Growing global trade and urbanisation projects support growth, assuming that over 70% of trade by volume and 80% of trade by value is carried by sea. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), overall seaborne trade volumes will exceed 10 billion tonnes in 2020, with shipment trade falling by 4% as a result of Covid-19.
The outlook for global seaborne remains overly optimistic, with upcoming projects such as the One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR) likely to provide dredging manufacturers with growth opportunities. The dredging industry’s prospects are inextricably linked to broader developments in the global tourism sector, as the construction of new airports and beach replenishments accounts for a sizable portion 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.
Competitive Landscape
The global dredging market comprises of numerous regional and global vendors, rendering the market highly competitive. Players rely on strategic alliances, joint ventures and the development of technologically advanced solutions to penetrate lucrative markets.
In 2019, Jan De Nul Group initiated maintenance dredging works in Nieuwpoort, Belgium. This project was part and parcel of the company’s commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by 15%. To achieve this, it incorporated renewable biofuel from sustainable waste flows.
In October 2020, Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V secured multiple dredging contracts across Germany worth € 45 million from a host of regional maritime transport vendors. These contracts aim to provide flood protection, construction of a shipping fairway and port maintenance across numerous locations.
