Port Construction in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Making waves: Several large-scale projects are forecast to be completed, decreasing revenue

Trends in international trade, commodity exports and passenger sea transport drive the Port Construction industry. The industry typically displays wide annual fluctuations corresponding with large-scale developments starting up and finishing. A core driver of industry activity in Australia has been facilitating growth in bulk commodity exports, such as minerals, energy products and agricultural goods. The mining investment boom that peaked in 2012-13 supported unprecedented port construction, but these projects' completion has dampened demand for new developments over the past five years. The industry's performance has also fluctuated widely after construction work was completed on wharf facilities, jetties and dredging to service new LNG terminals in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Work on the large-scale expansion of container port facilities at the Port of Melbourne's Webb Dock and the Brisbane International Cruise Terminal at the Port of Brisbane also concluded over the past five years.

Companies in the Port Construction industry construct, refurbish and alter ports and port amenities, including terminal infrastructure. Repair and maintenance activities are excluded from the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry's key players and their market shares.
