Container fleet market in APAC

APAC is the largest market for container shipping in the world. It has brought many innovative technologies to improve trade such as enhancement of research activities, replacement of lagging yield capacity, the concentration of ship capacity, and new projects for low carbon dioxide emissions. China and India are the highest producers of horticulture products such as fruits and vegetables, ranking number one and two respectively.

According to Sharan Raj, a lead analyst at Technavio, specializing in research on packaging, “The GDP growth rate of APAC is the highest and above the world average growth rate. Such growth will boost the demand for different commodities traded using container fleet. Apart from leading countries like China and India, there is a high market growth in other countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand, due to the efficient labor market, excellent infrastructure, and good transportation system.”

Container fleet market in EMEA

The Middle East will boost the growth of EMEA during the forecast period, particularly through the export of petroleum products. The Middle East is among the biggest producers of crude oil. Moreover, the region will be responsible for the higher import of manufacturing commodities during the forecast period. Container traffic is also increasing in the region and to handle it, local ports need to invest in infrastructure. The UAE handles around half of the total container market in the Middle East. Considering the current political and economic conditions in Europe, the market will have a slow growth rate during the forecast period. Germany has emerged as the largest market for commodities because of its strong performance in the end-user sectors and large imports of fruits and vegetables.

Container fleet market in the Americas

Despite the low growth rate in the industry, the market in South America will grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The key growth driver for the region’s market is heavy investments in port infrastructure improvement projects. Private sector agencies handle most ports in South America resulting in rapid infrastructure development. Moreover, South America is one of the biggest exporters of refrigerated products and comprise developing economies such as Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. The market in North America will also post a higher growth, second to South America because of the scope of its high production and distribution activities. The region has three main shipping fronts, namely the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic Seaboard.

The top leading vendors operating in the global container fleet market are:

  • Maersk
  • CMA CGM
