Expert Market Research Explores the Top 5 Companies in the Global ISO Tank Container Market

The global ISO tank container market is projected to expand at a CAGR of 7.2% in the forecast period of 2024-2032. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the growing international trade and rising demand for industrial chemicals.

ISO tank containers, also known as intermodal tank containers, are used to transport liquids and gases in bulk. Built to International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) guidelines, they ensure structural integrity and durability under extreme conditions. The container market is growing due to increased international trade, particularly in the chemicals, gases, and food sectors. Further, an increase in global trade drives the demand for the transportation of chemicals, food products, and other bulk materials, boosting the need for ISO tanks.

ISO tank containers offer a standardised, efficient, safe, and cost-effective alternative to traditional drums and barrels, making them increasingly popular for bulk liquid shipping. This approach is also witnessing a rise in demand for eco-friendly and sustainable ways to transport goods, encouraging innovations in product design and development.

High levels of industrial production, particularly in sectors like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverages, lead to greater demand for bulk transportation solutions, including ISO tank containers.

In December 2023, NRS Corporation established a new logistics site in Casa Grande, Arizona, to support the growing semiconductor and battery industries with comprehensive logistics services. The facility will handle hazardous chemicals and feature gas pads, storage, and plans for a rail siding to facilitate cargo transport and reduce CO2 emissions. This strategic hub aims to optimize customer supply chains by offering transportation, storage, distribution, and ISO tank container leasing.
