As per the market research report published by Facts and Factors, the global Smart Container market was valued at approximately USD 3.1 Billion in 2020 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 7.9 Billion by end of 2026, growing at a CAGR of around 17.2% between 2021 and 2026.
Smart Containers are the next step in digitization, with each shipping container communicating with one another via real-time Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Smart containers provide real-time information about the location and state of the shipment to freight forwarders, shipping lines, customers, and customs agents. They will provide you with complete visibility of your cargo 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of the location of the containerized shipment, and will even notify you of any major events that occur en route. Smart containers are becoming so popular that Loginno, an Israel-based company with expertise in logistical innovations, held a competition last year to convert the winner's containers into smart containers, resulting in the establishment of the "World's First Digital Shipping Company." Global supply chains are advocating for greater information system integration, and emerging technologies such as smart containers, blockchains, and IoT are poised to revolutionize the way information is processed in maritime transport, port terminals, port community systems, and administrations.
The use of smart containers will provide endless treasures for shipping companies. When a customer orders an empty smart container for loading, the shipping company will know the distribution of the source of goods, the variety of goods, the volume of goods, and so on. This information, combined with other data, forms very practical business intelligence and first-hand statistical materials that will guide and assist the shipping company’s precision marketing. This data may have had to be manually collected before, but now smart container technology can replace a large part of the workload, reducing labor costs for shipping companies.
