Waterway Transportation Software Market Size

Waterway Transportation Software Market size was valued at USD 75 billion in 2023 and is estimated to register a CAGR of over 7.5% between 2024 and 2032. Various water transport infrastructure investments are driving the market. Governments and organizations globally are allocating significant resources to enhance and expand waterway transportation networks. This includes investments in ports, terminals, vessels, and related infrastructure.

 

For instance, in July 2023, Coal India, an Indian government-owned coal entity, and the government of Odisha announced to invest USD 1.46 billion to build an industrial water transport corridor. This corridor will connect two ports in the eastern state of Odisha through the Bramhi River and is expected to carry 12-15 million tons of cargo by 2030. The new project is launched to ease the burden on off-road and rail infrastructure and carry finished products including steel and aluminum.

 

In addition, digital solutions are fueling the waterway transportation software market growth. This technology enhances operational efficiency with the help of different solutions including route optimization, cargo tracking, and logistics management software. Further, they reduce costs and ensure timely deliveries. With increased digitization, companies can access real-time data, streamline operations, and improve decision-making. Companies operating in the market are launching innovative tracking software to help provide users with complete transparency about the exact location of their shipments.

 

For instance, in April 2023, Hapag-Llyod launched Live Position, a dry container tracking product. The product gives customers full transparency regarding the location of their shipments from the beginning of the journey to their destination. The new product launch highlights the company’s commitment to deploy IoT technology in logistics on a big scale.

 

Protecting critical data and systems from cyber threats is a significant challenge in the waterway transportation software market. The industry relies on digital systems for navigation, logistics, and communication. However, the increased digitization makes it susceptible to cyberattacks, potentially disrupting operations, compromising safety, and causing financial losses. Ensuring robust cybersecurity measures, regular updates, employee training, and compliance with maritime cybersecurity regulations are essential in safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining the integrity and security of waterway transportation systems. All these factors hamper the adoption of waterway transportation software and hinder market growth.
