Market Driver

Increasing Global Maritime Trade to Aid Market Expansion

With global economic growth steadily gaining momentum, international trade activities are also intensifying and they are best reflected in the promising progress made by world seaborne trading operations. The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reported in 2018 that maritime trade and shipping account for nearly 80% of the total global trade volume and more than 70% of the global trade value is handled at seaports across the globe. In 2018, global seaborne trade expanded at an impressive 4% from 2017 levels. Thus, a flourishing maritime trade industry brings good news for the integrated bridge system market growth as higher revenues and profits will prompt governments and industry players to upgrade existing ship fleets with advanced communication and analysis technologies.
