Global Shipping Container Market

IMARC Group's latest report, titled "Shipping Container Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026," finds that the global shipping container market size reached US$ 9.70 Billion in 2020. Shipping containers, or intermodal containers, are used for transporting and carrying goods and cargo by sea and land via ships, rails or trucks. These watertight containers have excellent strength and durability, making them ideal to withstand shipment, storage and handling. They are also cost-effective and convenient for cargo transportation and eliminate the need for unloading and reloading cargo at intermediate points. As a result, shipping containers have gained immense traction across the food and beverages (F&B), consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, chemical and automotive industries.

We are regularly tracking the direct effect of COVID-19 on the market, along with the indirect influence of associated industries. These observations will be integrated into the report.  

Global Shipping Container Market Trends:

The escalating demand for cargo transportation via ships and the increasing number of trade-related agreements represent the primary factors driving the market. Additionally, the widespread adoption of automation at cargo terminals, coupled with the implementation of stringent safety norms in marine transportation, is augmenting the demand for shipping containers. Besides this, several major shipping companies are adopting the Internet of Things (IoT)-connected devices to collect valuable insights that are utilized to minimize downtime and streamline multiple processes to enhance operational efficiency in the maritime industry. Furthermore, shipping containers are extensively used for transporting industrial raw materials and manufactured goods such as metals, minerals, oil and gases, chemicals, and parts of machinery, automobiles and aircraft. This, in confluence with the rising investments in manufacturing healthcare products and shipping of the COVID-19 vaccine to different parts of the world, are also propelling the market growth. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a value of US$ 12.8 Billion by 2026, expanding at a CAGR of around 4.60% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
