Automated Container Terminal Market: Growth Drivers

An automated container terminal is an infrastructural type that facilitates the transshipment of cargo containers between different types of transport vehicle via automated machinery. It improvises its effectiveness by using advanced software and real-time data procurement to enable further transportation of merchandises. In the case of maritime container ports, transshipments take place between container ships and land vehicles. On the other hand, transshipment of merchandise between two same or different land vehicles happens at inland container terminals. Automation of these container terminals has gained attention in recent times, as it has various competitive advantages, such as remote control of the ship to store and loading of cranes, remote monitoring of automatic gates of the terminal, and mass handling of merchandises. It also helps in performing its functions with superior accuracy in a short timeframe.

Research report exemplifies various key factors that are bolstering the automated container terminal market globally. The predominant growth factor is the increasing demand for large container ships by global manufacturers. The rising demand for innumerable commodities across the globe, especially from emerging economies, has created the need for large container ships. Additionally, the growing awareness about the need for automated container terminals is due to expensive labor costs at terminals. Automation of container terminals requires huge capital cost but eventually helps in reducing labor and operational costs. Furthermore, intense market competition has led the manufacturers to focus on competitive value offerings, such as time-efficient and safer transshipment of merchandise.

Moreover, the automation of container terminal can also provide a competitive edge to companies. However, some restraining factors of the automated container terminal market are huge capital investments, lack of skilled workforce to monitor the automation of terminals, and isolation of operations at container terminals resulting in discontinued and poor data quality.
