The Benefits of Containerization
Transport Costs• Lower freight rates• Lower insurance rates• Minimal load unit
Inventory Costs• Lower storage costs• Lower packing and packaging costs• Faster inventory turnover
Service Level• Time reliability• Higher frequency
Containerization Growth Factors
Derived
Economic and income growth
Globalization (outsourcing)
Fragmentation of production and consumption
Substitution
Functional and geographical
diffusion
New niches (commodities
and cold chain)
Capture of bulk and break-bulk
markets
Incidental
Trade imbalances
Repositioning of empty containers
Induced
Transshipment (hub, relay and
interlining)
Multiplying Effects of Derived Demand on Container Transport Peaking?

The First Wave of Containerization, 1970 – The Pioneers of the Triad
Pioneer ports setting containerized operations in the economic triad (North America, Western Europe, Australia and Japan).
Driver: Trade substitution
The Second Wave of Containerization, 1980 – Adoption in the Triad and its Periphery
Expansion of the triad and its trade partners (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Asian Tigers).
Driver: Adoption of containerization
The Third Wave of Containerization, 1990 – Global Diffusion
Large diffusion in new markets (Latin America, Middle East / South Asia, Southeast Asia).
Driver: Setting of global supply chains. Setting of transshipment hubs.
The Fourth Wave of Containerization, 2000 – Global Standard
The container as the standard transport support of the global economy.
Driver: Expansion of global supply chains. China and transshipment hubs.
The Fifth Wave of Containerization, 2010 – Peak Growth
Peak growth and the setting of niches.
Driver: Spillover effect and new transshipment hubs.
Waves of Containerization, 1970-2010
Each wave lasts 8 to 10 years.Hierarchical diffusion pattern.
Medium Waves of Containerization
I may have reached an inflection point…

Conclusion: Reaching Peak Containerization?
The container, like any technical innovation, has a market and diffusion potential where a phase of maturity is eventually reached.
Five successive long waves of containerization.
Medium waves and inflection points.
