Dublin, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Smart Port Market by Technology (IoT, Blockchain, Process Automation, AI), Throughput Capacity (High, Medium, & Low Throughput Capacity), Port Type (Seaports, Inland Ports), Element, and Region – Global Forecast to 2030” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The smart port market is projected to escalate significantly from USD 2.23 billion in 2024 to USD 7.95 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 25.8%. Over 80% of the world’s trade volume is ocean-bound, prompting a shift toward modernization as ports adapt to increasing cargo volumes, emerging trade corridors, and soaring e-commerce demands. Implementing AI-powered analytics, IoT-based asset tracking, blockchain technologies, and digital twins not only enhance efficiency but also minimize carbon emissions, aligning with global climate objectives. Nevertheless, this digital shift poses cybersecurity challenges, as evidenced by the notable cyberattacks on port infrastructure in 2024.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is anticipated to be the second fastest-growing technology segment from 2025 to 2030, revolutionizing port operations. Devices with IoT capabilities like ultrasonic sensors, RFID readers, and imaging sensors facilitate real-time data communication across port systems, boosting operational efficiency.
In terms of throughput, high-throughput ports are expected to dominate the market by 2030, processing over 19 million TEUs annually. These ports, primarily located in China, Singapore, and South Korea, are critical hubs in global logistics and supply chains.
Europe is poised to witness the second-highest growth rate in the smart port market during 2025 to 2030. European giants like the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp-Bruges, and Hamburg are pioneers in digital transformations, employing digital twins, AI-based logistics, and IoT for asset tracking, thereby enhancing their eco-friendliness and operational efficiency.
