The research report states that the continual development of the shipping containers market
is largely attributable to the growth in marine trade over the past years. Seaborne trade,
which includes trade carried out on sea routes and inland waterways, such as canals, rivers,
backwaters, and creeks, requires shipping containers that are fabricated for the purpose.
Shipping containers are characterized by their high strength and durability, since they are
fabricated from corrosion-resistant heavy-duty steel and aluminum. These shipping
containers facilitate the transport of goods without the need for loading and unloading of
cargo at intermediate points. The size and type of build of the container is in accordance
with specifications and regulations framed by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO).
In addition, increasing demand for transportation services also counts as a major factor
responsible for growth of the global shipping containers market. Economic development in
several countries around the world, which has led to increasing number of factories and
manufacturing units, has propelled the demand for increased transportation networks and
services, which has indirectly benefitted the shipping containers market.

Market Bytes:
Shipping containers are rectangular steel boxes that are widely used for transportation of
goods and other commodities via both, seaborne and land-based modes of transport,
involving the use of ships, trucks and rail. Moreover, besides facilitating intermodal
transport, use of containers facilitates minimum handling of the goods by eliminating the
need for loading and unloading of the goods at intermediate points during the transit.
Shipping containers are classified into four major types, namely dry containers, reefer

containers, tank containers, and others. Dry containers, by far, are the most widely used
shipping containers across the globe.
The global shipping containers market is expected to expand at a steady CAGR of 5.6% over
the forecast period from 2015 to 2021, to reach a market value of US$ 11.47 Bn by 2021.
Drivers and Trends
The increasing containerization of global seaborne trade, i.e. the growing adoption of
shipping containers for transportation of goods, is another factor that is expected to drive
the growth of the global shipping containers market over the forecast period. However,
slower economic growth across certain parts of the globe, such as
Europe and Asia, is likely to affect the global trade, thus translating into a slower growth of
the global shipping containers market during the forecast period.

Analysis, by Product Type
Amongst the product type based segments of the global shipping containers market, the
reefer containers segment is slated to expand at the fastest CAGR during the forecast
period. The growth of this segment is primarily driven by the increasing preference for reefer
containers over conventional refrigerated ships for transportation of perishable goods. The
use of reefer containers ensures flexibility, efficiency, and reduced turnaround time as
compared to the conventional means of perishables transport. In terms of market value, the
reefer containers segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast
period. Also, demand for tank containers for transportation of chemicals and other bulk
liquids is expected to witness a steady growth during the forecast period.
