Global ISO Tank Container Market Size

The global ISO tank container market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% in the forecast period of 2024-2032, driven by the continuous expansion of the seaborne trade in these containers, making them safer and faster to transport.

Key Takeaways

  • Organic chemicals production in India rose by 4.52% in August 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, indicating growth.
  • Import TEUs landing in Western Canada plummeted by 68,000 TEUs in Q3 2023 compared to the previous year, attributed to decreased imports and container imbalances.
  • India's chemical consumption is expected to increase by 20%, at a global level, in the next 20 years.

ISO tank containers, also referred to as intermodal tank containers, are used for the transportation of liquid or gases in bulk. The ISO tank container is designed and manufactured according to the guidelines outlined by the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO). The standards ensure structural integrity and durability as well as survivability in extreme temperatures and conditions, thus, providing a beneficial mode of transport for commodities.

The ISO tank container market growth is related to the rising international trade, especially in the chemicals, gases, and food industries. This is likely to create a surge in demand for efficient, safe, and cost-effective transportation methods. ISO tank containers, offering a standardised solution for shipping liquids in bulk, are increasingly preferred over traditional drums and barrels. This transparency appeals to consumers looking for products with recognisable, whole-food ingredients.

Region North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa

The rising demand for petrochemicals significantly propels the ISO tank container market expansion

Holding the highest share, the petrochemical sector pushes forward the market growth due to the growing demand for fossil fuels such as oil, gasoline, and diesel, among others. High resistance to corrosion and the strength to transport hazardous liquids prove these containers to transport such chemicals safely.

Furthermore, the use of petrochemicals in various industries diversifies and boosts the demand, especially from the developed countries. Meanwhile, the food and beverage and pharmaceutical sectors are expected to utilise ISO tank containers owing to the importance of suitable and controlled transportation methods for sensitive products.

Marine dominates the ISO tank container market share due to expanding maritime trade

The expansion of maritime trading has bolstered the container market globally. Trade agreements between NAFTA, ASEAN, etc. are anticipated to fuel the growth of containerisation. Due to their capacity and durable components, ISO tank containers have witnessed massive growth in transportation in the chemical and petrochemical sectors.

The Asia Pacific regions, with long coastlines, are expected to increase the manufacturing of more containers, consequently boosting the ISO tank container market growth. Developing countries in the region hold the largest share of import-export and trading of commodities has been essential for such rising economies.
