Dublin, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Docks Construction Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering. The report offers a comprehensive perspective on the docks construction industry, detailing current and future scenarios, competition, regional shares, and emerging opportunities.
The docks construction market has experienced consistent growth, with the market size expected to rise from $15.93 billion in 2025 to $16.59 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 4.1%. This growth is driven by expanding maritime transport, increased port development projects, and a higher demand for waterfront infrastructure. The adoption of robust construction materials and modernization of docking facilities further contribute to this positive trajectory. North America dominated the market in 2025.
Looking forward, the market is forecasted to reach $21.3 billion by 2030, advancing at a CAGR of 6.4%. Key factors include the expansion of automated dock systems, smart infrastructure investments, and the use of sustainable building materials. Trends for the coming years highlight increased adoption of concrete and modular floating docks, alongside a preference for plastic and steel installations.
Infrastructure investment plays a crucial role in stimulating the dock construction industry by enhancing economic efficiency, trade, tourism, safety, and environmental stability. Recent data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics, for instance, indicates an infrastructure investment of £13.8 billion in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase from the previous year, underlining the sector’s contribution to economic prosperity.
Sustainability is increasingly a focal point for leading companies in the market, with many shifting towards eco-friendly construction methods to minimize environmental impact. For example, Thomas & Piron’s Docks Matosinhos project in Portugal integrates modern, sustainable designs aimed at young professionals, set for completion by early 2026 with a €12 million investment.
Strategic acquisitions are also reshaping the industry landscape. In June 2025, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited acquired Colombo Dockyard PLC to bolster its market position and enhance R&D capabilities. This acquisition highlights the increasing importance of strategic regional expansions.
Major industry players include Bellingham Marine Industries, MariCorp US LLC, Meeco Sullivan, Marinetek Industries, Accudock Systems, and several others. These companies are essential in meeting the market demand through innovative technology and sustainable practices.
The market is affected by global trade tensions and tariffs, impacting material costs, especially for steel, timber, and composites, raising construction expenses and extending project timelines in regions like Asia-Pacific and Europe. These tariffs have, however, encouraged local sourcing and innovation in new materials for modular dock systems.
