- Intermodal freight transportation employs ISO or intermodal containers. They are constructed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines and can be used for trucking, rail, and shipping, among other forms of transportation. These laws control a shipping container’s dimensions, durability, and strength. These specifications guarantee that the container has the structural integrity required to be hoisted by cranes or other heavy equipment and can endure the harsh conditions encountered during transit.
- There are several different sizes of ISO Tank Containers available on the market. However, the 20-foot container is the most widely utilized size for shipping liquid goods worldwide since it is simple to move from one vehicle to another by any mode of transportation, including rail, road, sea, and air.
- The fundamental goal of an ISO container is to guarantee that it can survive harsh conditions and maintain its structural integrity while being transported by land, rail, or water. Additionally, the ISO regulation guarantees that the containers are of the proper size and strength for safe and even stacking on transportation systems.
- Every thirty months, an inspection of an ISO container is conducted to verify its quality and standards. The building block for defining shipping capacity and the fundamental unit for measuring the volume of ISO containers is the twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU).
- The range of products that can be transported using ISO containers, including consumer goods, industrial goods, and others, can be categorized into different types, including dry containers, refrigerated (reefer) containers, tank containers, open-top containers, insulated containers, and flat rack containers.
- Manufacturers of ISO tank containers were harmed by COVID-19 and were compelled to substantially cut manufacturing capacity to keep up with price increases and demand shortages. The market experienced a significant decline in demand, particularly in Asia-Pacific. But that was brief. Markets in both Europe and the US swiftly recovered. The tank manufacturer was under more pressure to expand output to keep up with the growing demand due to the rapid rise observed.

Key Market Dynamics
- The global ISO container market is anticipated to be driven by rising demand for highly effective and superior-capacity containers. The global market for ISO containers is expected to grow due to the steady expansion of seaborne trade, increasing containerization, use of remote container management solutions, and desire for high cube containers.
- The use of environmentally friendly refrigerants in shipping containers is being pushed by strong demand for reefer containers, supportive government legislation regarding emissions, and a growing need for container standardization, all of which are likely to create growth prospects in the years to come. Growing trade agreements like NAFTA, ASEAN, etc., are expected to fuel ISO container expansion in the future.
- Low freight rates and container overproduction are expected to impede the expansion of the ISO container industry. Furthermore, it is anticipated that shifts in the cost of raw materials may hinder the development of the global market for ISO containers shortly. Trade tensions between important nations have slowed the international use of ISO containers.
Asia Pacific Led the ISO Tank Container Market
- Asia-Pacific now holds a sizable portion of the market for ISO containers and is anticipated to develop at the highest CAGR throughout the evaluation period. Modernizing infrastructure and expanding the chemical, construction, and infrastructure sectors have increased trade, which is expected to support rising demand for ISO containers in the Asia-Pacific region.
- China is one of the most significant users of ISO containers because it is a well-known producer of many goods exported worldwide. A significant market share in the global market is expected to be held by Europe and North America, which will follow Asia-Pacific due to the regions’ greater adherence to government regulations and standards.
- Furthermore, China generates about 80% of the world’s manufacturing and is the top manufacturer of ISO containers. India has started to produce containers to reduce its reliance on Chinese suppliers, which has resulted in a decline in Chinese container manufacturing in recent years on the worldwide market. Due to high import taxes on goods from both nations and higher shipping costs, India already pays up to 40% more than the actual price of imported containers.
