Luggage, freight, and other cargo are transported in rigid containers known as air cargo containers or Unit Load Devices (ULD). It is made up of huge, multi-purpose containers, both refrigerated and non-refrigerated. Shipping containers come in a wide range of sizes and shapes to accommodate a wide variety of cargo. These containers should be built to fit into the cargo hold of the aircraft and work with existing cargo handling equipment. As online shopping has become increasingly popular, retailers have felt increased pressure to improve their shipping times and logistics. A growing number of 3PLs recognise the importance of air cargo and are extending their offerings to meet this need. The fastest-growing trade flows between countries are those involving high-value, time-sensitive commodities including food and drink, pharmaceuticals, biological products, computers, and consumer electronics. Demand in the air cargo industry is anticipated to be driven by the growth of total cross-border trade.

Reasons Why
The growth of the air cargo container industry will be spurred by the efforts of developing nations to meet the rising demand for air cargo by transforming and expanding their current airports into cargo terminals. Kenya Airways' ground handling business has historically operated and maintained on-airport cold storage facilities in Nairobi. This simplifies the process of transporting and inspecting perishable food items. The global demand for ULD containers is anticipated to increase as a result of these tendencies.
Due to its widespread use in air cargo transportation, the air cargo container industry from freighter aircraft generated over USD 700 million in 2020. The proliferation of e-commerce and the abundance of electronic product and other commercial item factories in nations like Vietnam, Thailand, China, Japan, Taiwan, and India are all factors that are increasing demand for air cargo. Demand is anticipated to increase throughout the projected period on account of increased deployment of freighter aircraft by airlines including SpiceJet, Garuda Indonesia, and ANA Cargo.
Factors That Hold It Back
The air cargo container business is severely constrained by the ever-changing cost of aviation fuel. Because of factors such as geopolitical instability, supply and demand mismatches, and economic uncertainty, the price of aviation fuel has a direct impact on the cost of shipping freight by air. Increases in the price of oil have the potential to raise airline operating expenses, which in turn could reduce airline profitability and passenger demand for air travel.
This study breaks down the worldwide market for air cargo containers into distinct submarkets, complete with projections for revenue growth and in-depth analyses of current and future market trends. This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the factors driving, hindering, and otherwise impacting the market for air cargo containers. Recent market changes and competitive strategies have been incorporated into the illustration of the competitive landscape in the market, including growth, product launch and development, collaboration, merger, and acquisition. Each subsegment of the air cargo container market is analysed in detail, and important market participants are identified and profiled from a strategic perspective.
The market for air cargo containers around the world can be broken down into two distinct subsegments: refrigerated and non-refrigerated containers. The worldwide air freight container industry is predicted to expand overall, but the refrigerated segment will lead the way. The pharmaceutical industry is currently the most specialised, regulated, and delicate cargo sector in the world. Depending on the pharmaceutical product being transported, temperature-controlled medication and biological goods require refrigerated containers that can maintain temperatures between 2oC and 8oC or well below 0oC. Because of airlines' capacity to expeditiously carry items while simultaneously protecting and maintaining fragile cargo, IATA reports that global airline cargo income for pharmaceuticals surpassed USD 1.4 billion in 2018.
The global market for air cargo containers is segmented into metal and composite submarkets. During the forecast period, the metal category is anticipated to account for the highest proportion of the global air cargo container market. Aluminium or steel are the most common materials for ULD containers, but this might vary depending on the use. Aluminum's low weight and high resistance to corrosion make it a popular material. A cargo container for transport by air is constructed from aluminium extrusions, a fairly thick base sheet, and aluminium side and roof panels. The worldwide market for air cargo containers is segmented into new sales, maintenance & repair, and end-user. The global market for air cargo containers is anticipated to expand across all sales channels, but particularly new sales. New ULD containers will become dominant as the number of aeroplanes in use increases.
