Global Harbour Crane Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Harbour Crane market size is predicted to grow from US$ 6854 million in 2025 to US$ 8262 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2025 to 2031.

A harbour crane (also called a port crane or dockside crane) is a large industrial crane used in seaports and harbours to load and unload cargo—especially containers—from ships. These cranes are critical to global logistics and maritime trade, enabling the efficient transfer of goods between ships, trucks, and storage yards.

Ports are accelerating the adoption of remote control and fully automatic cranes to reduce manual intervention and improve efficiency and safety. Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are applied. AI optimizes container scheduling, and IoT sensors monitor equipment status in real time to improve maintenance efficiency.

Ports are gradually phasing out traditional diesel power and turning to pure electric or hybrid equipment to reduce carbon emissions. Some port cranes are equipped with energy recovery technology to convert energy during braking and lifting into electricity for reuse to improve energy efficiency.

Digital Twin technology simulates crane operation through real-time data to improve operational efficiency and maintenance prediction capabilities. 5G technology is combined with the industrial Internet to improve equipment networking capabilities and assist remote control and intelligent management.

Global trade is driving port expansion. Major ports in Asia (especially China), Europe and North America are upgrading crane equipment to accommodate larger cargo volumes.

With increasing demand in emerging markets, ports in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa are accelerating infrastructure construction, driving market demand for container cranes.
