“The global market for container fleet is expected to gain significantly from the rise in intermodal transport,” says a TMR analyst. The intermodal transportation, which refers to shipping intermodal containers, including large steel containers, offers better efficiency and is capable of carrying a large number of containers on a daily basis. The augmenting demand for intermodal containers has, consequently, reflected on the need for container fleet, resulting in the high growth of this market.
In addition to this, the escalating demand for refrigerated cargo shipping is projected to impact positively on this market in the years to come. However, the easy availability of terminals or ports with container facility may hamper the progress of this market over the forecast period, states the report.
