Global Quayside Crane Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Quayside Crane market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2211 million in 2025 to US$ 2895 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global Quayside Crane production reached approximately 205 units，with an average global market price of around US$ 11 million per unit, and a gross profit margin of approximately 20%-40%. A quayside crane (often called a ship-to-shore (STS) container crane or container gantry crane) is a large, rail-mounted dockside gantry crane installed along a container terminal quay to transfer intermodal containers between a vessel and the landside interface (truck lanes, AGVs, or a transfer platform). Structurally, it is a portal frame that travels on seaside/landside rails and supports a long horizontal boom (jib) that can outreach over the ship and backreach over the apron. A trolley runs along the boom/girder and carries the hoisting system and a container spreader (using twistlocks to engage the container corner castings), enabling precise vertical lift, horizontal travel, and controlled lowering onto the ship’s cell guides or onto terminal transport. Core subsystems typically include the hoist machinery and ropes/winches, trolley drive, gantry travel drives, boom hoist (for raising/lowering the boom for clearance and storms), operator cabin and/or remote-control station, electrical power and control systems, and safety/anti-sway features (sensors, interlocks, wind monitoring, collision avoidance, and load control).
The quayside crane market is fundamentally tied to containerized trade and terminal capacity build-out, with demand shaped less by “unit volume” in isolation and more by vessel upsizing, berth productivity targets, and replacement/modernization cycles. As fleets trend toward ultra-large container ships, terminals need cranes with greater outreach and higher lift (to work wider beams and taller deck stacks), driving procurement of larger post-Panamax/megaclass STS cranes and upgrades at existing berths. At the same time, terminal operators increasingly prioritize electrification and energy efficiency (e.g., all-electric STS fleets, regenerative drives, and reduced local emissions), alongside automation and remote operations to improve safety and stabilize productivity amid labor constraints and tighter operating windows. Recent project announcements frequently pair new quay cranes with berth expansion and decarbonization commitments—for example, terminals adding 100% electric super post-Panamax cranes to handle ULCS calls as part of multi-year expansion programs.
