Growth Factors

The market is growing due to the growing use of ISO tank containers in the food & beverage sector. These containers are perfect for transporting bulk materials, which helps the food manufacturing industry meet the rising demand for goods like juice, alcoholic beverages, and other products like edible oils. Additionally, using ISO tank containers to handle and ship food products is inexpensive. This container benefit is expected to hasten the market expansion for ISO tank containers.

Due to growing safety concerns regarding dangerous and reactive chemicals, ISO tank containers are projected to increasingly outpace on-road chemical transportation throughout the projection period, likely to boost the market growth. Additionally, ISO tank containers produce significantly fewer carbon emissions compared to their rivals. Therefore, because of this, the governments of many different countries are likely to provide the go-ahead for ISO tank containers.

The demand for packaged food & beverage products is further fueled by the booming e-commerce industry, which is also increasing our reliance on ISO tank containers. In addition, the rising demand for clean-label beverages and food items is anticipated to drive market expansion throughout the forecasted period.

Segmental Overview

The market for ISO Tank Container is segmented into container type, mode of transportation, and application. Based on container type, ≤30 feet and >30 feet make up the two categories of the market, with ≤30 feet dominating the global market. The 20-foot container is the most often used size for transporting liquid commodities worldwide due to its ease of transit and transfer from vehicle to vehicle by any mode of transportation, including rail, road, marine, and air. However, the market share of the segment below 30 feet is the smallest.

Based on the mode of transportation, the market’s highest share belongs to the road segment, followed by rail and marine. All the country’s corners are connected by roads, making it simple to load items into trucks and deliver them where needed. Rails can move cargo, but they only cover part of the country. ISO tankers are constrained because the maritime mode of transportation is mainly used for international trade.

The market is divided into land transportation and maritime transportation based on application. The global market is dominated by land transportation.

Regional Overview

Asia-Pacific is the market leader for ISO containers worldwide. Over 80% of the world’s manufacturing is done in China, the top producer of ISO containers. Chinese container production has been decreasing in the global market in recent years as India has started to produce its containers to lessen its dependency on Chinese suppliers. India already pays up to 40% of the actual price of imported containers due to the high taxes on goods from both nations and higher shipping costs.

The Middle East and Africa are the second-largest markets for ISO tank containers. The majority of ISO tank containers are used in the region to import and export oil & gas. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are the region’s two primary commodity consumers. There are numerous oil-based economies in the Middle East.
