ISO Tank Container Market: Overview

ISO Tank Containers are widely known as intermodal containers. They are standardized steel boxes used for transporting goods across various modes of transportation, including ships, trains, and trucks. The growing import-export activities and increasing global trade volume are boosting the need for tank containers, which are essential for the safe and efficient transport of these materials.

Furthermore, governments across the globe are heavily investing in redevelopment plans for businesses involved in logistics and transportation.  This situation creates a favourable market situation for tank container suppliers.

Various factors, such as rapidly growing and expanding industries such as chemical, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, are driving the growth of the ISO tank container market.

Key drivers observed in the market include environmental and Economic Shifts, Propel Growth, Supply Chain Resilience and Diversification, and Increased Natural Gas Exports. However, factors such as Rising Shipping Costs and Service Disruptions and Rising energy prices cause a slump in demand from the chemical industry, restraining the market growth during the forecast period.

However, factors such as the high cost of the ISO Tank Container, less adaption in many underdeveloped countries, lack of awareness and after-sale support services by key players, fluctuation in raw material, growing trade wars in many countries, and safety and security concerns are some of the factors restraining the market growth.

Growing technological innovations and increasing import-export activities are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.  Furthermore, the redevelopment of many ports and increasing investment in constructing new petrochemical refining facilities in the Gulf region and North American countries are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

For instance, the transformation of the Haifa Bay area, following the approval of Israel Petrochemical Enterprises’ takeover of Bazan, opens significant new business opportunities for tank container suppliers.

By size, the container with a capacity of less than 30 feet compared to the 20-foot container allows for transporting bulkier goods. In contrast, its smaller footprint than the 40-foot container makes it more manageable in congested urban areas and limited storage spaces.

Its growing application reflects a trend toward optimizing logistics and supply chain efficiency, accommodating diverse shipping needs without excessive space or cost.

By Region, the market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Latin America. Among all of these, the Asia Pacific region held the highest market share in the global market and is expected to keep its dominance during the forecast period.

The presence of well-developed infrastructure, rapidly expanding end-use industries, increasing investment in port development, and growing innovations in ISO tank container manufacturing are some of the factors driving the market growth of this region. Key countries such as China, India, Japan, ASEAN, South Korea and Australia are mainly driving the market growth of this region.
