All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
This report provides a detailed analysis of port construction projects globally, based on projects tracked by GlobalData.
GlobalData is currently tracking port construction projects globally, from the early pre-planning stages (of announcement and study) through to execution, with a combined value of $513.4 billion. The largest overall pipeline is in South-East Asia, totaling $122 billion, of which $54.3 billion is already in the execution stage. The pipeline of projects in South Asia accounts for the second largest pipeline with a total value of $72.9 billion. The global pipeline is dominated by projects in the later stages of development, with 64% of projects either in the pre-execution or execution stage, amounting to $328.5 billion in total value. Of this amount, $235.5 billion is in the execution stage and $93 billion is in the pre-execution stages (comprising design, tender and award). Projects in the early stages account for 36% of the pipeline by value reflecting projects in the pre-planning and planning stages. Assuming all projects proceed as planned and that spending is evenly distributed across all quarters of the construction phase of all projects, annual spending on the global port projects pipeline could reach $74.4 billion in 2027 and $82.5 billion in 2028.
