Regional Outlook
The global Smart container market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, the demand for the smart container market is expected to grow significantly in the European region. The European region has the highest seaport activities after Asia Pacific. According to the 2022 statistics handbook of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, in 2021, the total goods discharged and loaded in the European region was 1.5 billion tons and 1.7 billion tons respectively which was highest after Asia-Pacific. Also, the trade activities in FMCG and pharmaceuticals have seen significant growth. According to Eurostat, in 2022 compared with 2021, imports (+12 %) and exports (+22 %) of pharmaceutical products grew strongly, mainly because of increasing prices. With growing maritime trade in the region and the presence of companies in the smart container market such as Traxens, and Nexxiot in the region, the demand is expected to grow further.
Global Smart Container Market Growth by Region 2023-2030
The Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Grow Significantly in the Global Smart Container Market.
According to the 2022 statistics handbook of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 42% of all goods are loaded in Asian ports. Globally the region has the highest share in maritime trade activities. In 2021, the total goods loaded and discharged in the Asia-Pacific region was 4.6 billion tons and 7 billion tons respectively. Apart from a significant share in global trade, the demand for consumer goods such as FMCG products, and pharmaceutical products is also growing in the region mainly due to the growing population, and disposable income. The major countries in the region such as India and China also hold considerable market share in global pharmaceutical manufacturing.
