Market Overview:

The global container fleet market size reached US$ 11.8 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 17.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% during 2023-2028. The rising demand for high-capacity vessels, technological advancements, and increasing utilization of temperature-sensitive containers represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Container fleet refers to bulky shipping containers that are designed to hold containerized cargo. It is one of the most feasible methods to transfer high quantities of freight. Refrigerated, dry, and tank are some of the common types of container fleet. It is widely used to carry clothing, fuel, electronics, automotive components, household cleaners, beauty supplies, and vehicles. A container fleet carries these goods internationally across an ocean and offers improved cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and capacity. It also aids in ease of management, transportation speed, durability, safety, security, and larger storage capacity for bulkier items. As a result, the container fleet is used across the automotive, food, agriculture, chemicals, electronics, mining and minerals, and oil and gas industries.

Container Fleet Market Trends:

The increasing demand for high-capacity vessels or ships across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Since they can stock up more containers at a time, container fleet reduces the cost of operation significantly, which, in turn, is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the rising demand for safety in logistics owing to the increasing trade activities is acting as another growth-inducing factor. In line with this, the widespread adoption of dry container fleet due to their enhanced spaciousness, convenience, and durability is favoring the market growth. Along with this, the increasing demand for fresh, healthy, and quality food products, such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, along with the high reliance on the cold chain and logistics industry, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Moreover, the adoption of returnable container tracking systems that use radio frequency identification (RFID) or Beacon technology to help improve the management of assets and work as a major step towards controlling, recovering, and securing returnable shipping containers during their entire life cycle is facilitating the market growth. Apart from this, the introduction of combinable containers that are used in a standard or combined state by altering the dimensional to match the cargo size is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, the utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) technology to track shipments in real-time is driving the market growth. Other factors, including the widespread adoption of reefer containers, technological advancements, and extensive research and development (R&D) activity, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
