The maritime industry is an important engine of world trade and economic growth and is a platform that connects markets and facilitates movement of goods across the world. As the volume of world trade continues to increase, there is demand for port services. For instance, India has a long coastline of over 7,500 km and 12 major and 60+ non-major ports that handle cargo and has a substantial share of the world's seafarers. The current world demography favours India as it offers the necessary skilled labour force power and provide shipping services to the world. India has a strong domestic market, an emerging manufacturing base, and a vibrant start-up culture. Other public sector undertakings such as Dredging Corporation of India (DCI) and Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL) also played crucial roles in the development of infrastructure and shipbuilding. DCI plays a critical role in the maintenance of navigational depth in Indian ports. CSL has built many commercial and naval vessels for India and international players. Thus, the driver of increasing global maritime trade drives the market for port services, as it generates the need for expanded capacity, improved efficiency, and enhanced capabilities to handle the growing flow of goods and commodities through ports, thereby driving growth and investment in the port services sector.

The surging need for container handling services is a major force propelling the port service market. As global trade continues to expand, the need for more efficient and capable container management at ports is experiencing an increase in demand. This trend is driven by an uptick in the volume of goods shipped in containers across the seas, given that containers are now the go-to method for transporting a diverse array of products. In August 2023, the global port operator DP World announced plans to boost its container-handling capacity by three million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) by year-end, aiming to cater to the increasing demands of pivotal trade hubs. Currently handling about 9% of the global container capacity and ranking within the top five worldwide, the company anticipates this expansion will elevate its total capacity to an impressive 93.6 million TEUs. Therefore, the escalating need for container handling services underscores the port services market's growth, necessitating significant investments in infrastructure, gear, and technology. These enhancements are vital for ports to efficiently manage the increasing flows of containerized cargo integral to the global trade ecosystem.
