Out now: Dredging in Figures 2025
The 2025 edition of Dredging in Figures, an annual review of the global open dredging market by the International Association of Dredging Companies (IADC) is now available.
The review serves as a resource to individuals and organisations interested in the financial development of the dredging industry.
ANNUAL INDUSTRY ANALYSIS OFFERS INSIGHT
Publicly available today, this annual report focuses on the state of the dredging industry in 2025. The latest edition includes the essential role of dredging in regards to the industry’s key drivers as well as the annual turnover of the world’s open dredging market. According to the latest Dredging in Figures, the dredging industry’s annual turnover in 2025 – excluding closed markets – was estimated at EUR 6.7 billion.
The publication does not report on turnover in closed markets. The open market, however, contains turnover that is not open to all competitors, the so-called semi-open market. IADC advocates a level playing field in the dredging industry, with all dredging projects providing the same conditions for every bidder.
REPORT EXPLORES KEY DRIVERS
Produced and released by IADC, the report Dredging in Figures aims to provide insight into the dredging industry’s contribution to the global economy as well as key sectors. Key to charting the dredging industry’s progress, these drivers are: world trade, population growth and urban development, climate change, and energy.
The report Dredging in Figures 2025 was officially published on 22nd October 2026 by the International Association of Dredging Companies.
