Container Weighing Systems Market by Offering (Weighbridges, Rubber Gantry Cranes, Reach Stackers, Container Handling Forklift Trucks), Medium (Rail, Road, Ship), Vertical (Construction, Ports, Transportation & Logistics) - Global Forecast to 2022

“Container weighing system market driven by increasing focus on maritime safety and mandated SOLAS regulations for shipping containers”
The container weighing system market is estimated to reach USD 3.95 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 4.6% between 2017 and 2022. The market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years owing to the increasing focus on safety for maritime transportation and the mandated SOLAS regulations to verify the gross mass of the container to be shipped.

“Market for container handling forklift truck products to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period”
Container handling forklift trucks are expected to witness the highest growth in the market during the forecast period. The growth of this segment is primarily due to its functional benefits as it offers two major advantages—overload protection and non-disruptive way of weight measurement. The container handling forklift truck does not lift the container if the container weighs more than the prescribed weight it can lift. This feature prevents the mishandling of containers and goods and reduces the risk of accidents in the operations. This feature enhances the adaptability of container weighing system for container handling forklift trucks.

“Ports vertical to hold the largest market share during the forecast period”
The ports vertical is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period as ports accounted for the highest container traffic in 2016 and the trend is expected to continue with the increasingly stringent regulations for enhancing the maritime safety. The increasing maritime safety with the implementation of SOLAS regulations requires the use of container weighing system to measure the verified gross mass of the container.
“The market in South America to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period”
The market in South America is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2022. This high growth is attributed to the increasing industrial production and sea trade and transportation from South America. Additionally, the increasing government focus on reducing maritime accidents is expected to drive the growth of the container weighing system market in the region.
