Report Overview

Flourishing global trade and South Africa's strategic location on major international shipping routes are expected to boost the growth of South Africa port infrastructure market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

South Africa port infrastructure market size was estimated to be worth USD 2.1 billion in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, the South Africa port infrastructure market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3%, reaching a value of USD 3 billion by 2029. Major growth factors for the South Africa port infrastructure market include flourishing international trade and expanding imports through sea shipments as a cheaper mode of transportation. Furthermore, expanding private investment to improve port inefficiency is anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the South Africa port infrastructure market during the forecast period.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market – Overview

The port infrastructure serves as the foundation for port operations that support passing ships, goods, and people. The port location has to include high-capital-investment facilities including piers, basins, stacking or storage spaces, warehouses, and machinery like cranes. They enhance connection, lower the cost of logistics, and ease the flow of products and services—all of which help businesses and industries develop. They also serve as a source of income for the South African nations, whose governments may profit from land leases.

Growth Drivers

Expanding Private Investments in Port Infrastructure

A report published by the World Bank in 2021 suggests that the South African port is witnessing slow growth, resulting in declining cargo volumes, since even before the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the major private industry players are significantly expanding their investments to improve the efficiency of these ports. Transnet, the state-owned railway infrastructure and freight services company, recently seeks the establishment of Transnet National Ports Authority, to improve South Africa’s port revenue and port infrastructure.

Restraints

Economic Challenges and Lack of Resources

According to the data released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the South African GDP expanded by 0.4% from January to March of 2023. The country has recorded sluggish growth, which has been affected by crippling power outages, fluctuating commodity prices, and a difficult external environment. As port infrastructure development is highly capital intensive, the lack of financial resources acts as a major restraining factor for the growth of South Africa port infrastructure market.

Impact of COVID-19 on the South Africa Port Infrastructure Market

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected the growth of the South Africa port infrastructure market. The major factor that negatively impacted the market growth is the limitations on cross-border trade to prevent the spread of the virus. Furthermore, the operations of construction activities were completely barred due to a shortage of labor, which led to the restriction of the construction of ports as in South Africa. However, the market is anticipated to gain traction in the post-COVID-19 period as a result of surging shipment of vaccines and other healthcare-related cargo.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market

Segmental Coverage

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market – By Port Type

Based on port type, the South Africa port infrastructure market is segregated into seaports and inland ports. The seaport segment accounts for a higher market share and is also projected to register a higher growth rate over the forecast period as well. The growth of this segment is attributed to the expanding foreign trade. Waterways are considered the cheapest means of transportation owing to their fuel efficiency and their capability to carry bulky goods easily.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market Share

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market – By Construction Type

Based on construction type, the South Africa port infrastructure market is segmented into terminals, equipment, and others. The terminal segment holds the largest share in the South Africa port infrastructure market by construction type. They are crucial in handling large amounts of freight, and therefore, are garnering significant investments from private players. The integration of information technology in port terminal operations is also contributing to its market growth to improve the overall efficiency, safety, and security of the port, along with boosting the profitability.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market – By Cargo Type

Based on cargo type, the South Africa port infrastructure market is segmented into container ports, bulk cargo ports, liquid bulk ports, and others. The bulk cargo ports segment accounts for the highest market share. The flourishing international trade is directly impacting the need for the transport of goods and commodities in large quantities. The rising export of precious minerals including platinum, palladium, rhodium, and others is fueling the demand for bulk cargo ports in South Africa.

South Africa Port Infrastructure Market – By Region

Regionally, the South Africa port infrastructure market is divided into Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, and North West. KwaZulu-Natal dominates the South Africa port infrastructure market owing to the presence of the Port of Durban. According to Marine Insights, Durban Port is the largest and busiest commercial port facility in South Africa. It is the fourth biggest container facility in the Southern Hemisphere, with 58 berths controlled by over 22 port businesses.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in South Africa port infrastructure market include Transnet SOC Ltd, Durban Container Terminal (DCT), APM Terminals, DP World, MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company), Maersk Line, Grindrod Shipping, Bidvest Group, TPT (Transnet Port Terminals), and TNPA (Transnet National Ports Authority)

To further enhance their market share, these companies employ various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, joint ventures, license agreements, and new product launches.

Recent Developments

  • In July 2023 - Transnet, a South African port and pipeline company, selected International Container Terminal Services (ICTS) for a 25-year partnership.
