According to a new report, published by KBV research, The Global Smart Port Market size is expected to reach $11.85 billion by 2032, rising at a market growth of 23.9% CAGR during the forecast period.
The Inland Port segment is anticipating a CAGR of 24.9% during (2025 - 2032). Inland ports are increasingly adopting smart technologies to optimize cargo handling, improve intermodal connectivity, and facilitate seamless logistics operations. These ports act as strategic extensions of seaports, helping to decongest coastal hubs and enhance supply chain efficiency. With growing emphasis on regional trade, sustainable transportation, and integrated logistics solutions, inland ports are evolving into smart, digitally connected nodes that contribute meaningfully to the broader smart port ecosystem.
The Extensively Busy segment is leading the Global Smart Port Market by Throughput Capacity in 2024; thereby, achieving a market value of $4.5 billion by 2032. These ports handle a high cargo and vessel traffic volume, necessitating advanced technological solutions to manage complex operations efficiently. Adopting smart technologies such as automated cranes, real-time monitoring systems, and advanced analytics is critical in ensuring smooth and uninterrupted port activities. The growing global trade and the increasing demand for high-capacity logistics hubs have further fuelled investments in transforming extensively busy ports into smart, efficient, and sustainable infrastructures.
The Internet of Things (IoT) segment is registering a CAGR of 24.6% during (2025 - 2032). IoT solutions have played a pivotal role in transforming traditional port infrastructure into intelligent and connected ecosystems. By deploying IoT-enabled sensors and devices, ports can gather real-time data on equipment status, cargo conditions, environmental parameters, and traffic flow. This data facilitates predictive maintenance, improves decision-making, and enhances port security. The growing emphasis on real-time monitoring, asset management, and environmental sustainability has significantly contributed to adopting IoT technologies in smart port development.
