Global Dredging Market 2023 by Company, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Dredging market size was valued at USD 22700 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 31490 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 4.8% during review period.

Dredging is the maritime transportation of natural materials from one part of the water environment to another by specialised dredging vessels. It involves collecting and bringing up, fishing up or clearing away or out material and / or any object from the bed of a river, sea, etc.; transporting it to the relocation site and unloading the material or object. The purpose for dredging can be maintenance of the depth or the deepening of navigation accesses or channels, it can also be land reclamation, coastal protection, seabed stabilisation for the offshore energy installations or the removal of contaminated sediments. In fact, in a usual dredging cycle, self-propelled trailing suction hopper dredgers, barges and other ships spend the majority of their time sailing back and forth between extraction sites and placement sites, transporting materials between the port and the borrow site; sailing between borrow sites; and sailing from sites where material has been extracted to unloading or placement sites.
