A key factor driving the growth of the market is the increase in maritime trade and fleet size. In 2016, global maritime trade volumes witnessed an expansion by 2.5% from 2% in 2015. Furthermore, 2016 saw the addition of over 260 million tons of cargo (YoY), which resulted in the total cargo volumes reaching around 10.3 billion tons across the globe. In 2017, global maritime trade saw an increase of 2.8%. Thus, the growing maritime trade is encouraging tugboat owners and port authorities to order more tugboats. The continued expansion in global maritime trade is a result of various international free trade agreements. Thus, the increase in global maritime trade is expected to spur the demands for tugboats across the globe.

As per Technavio, expansion activities related to ports and terminals will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period.
