The ISO tank container market is predicted to witness an upward trajectory in its growth, spurred by the expansion of the petrochemical industry in the years to come. ISO tank containers have become a preferred choice for the transportation of hazardous petrochemicals, rendered safe by their stainless-steel constitution and multiple protective layers that combat the corrosive impacts of the chemicals. Supported by the International Energy Agency's statistics, it is foreseen that petrochemicals will represent approximately half of the worldwide oil demand growth between 2030 and 2050, and make up roughly 7 million barrels of oil. Besides, ISO tank containers are favored for having less than 50% carbon footprint, making them ideal for chemical transportation in petrochemical industries. Adding to this, the International Energy Agency, a France-based independent intergovernmental organization, predicts petrochemicals to contribute over one-third to the rise in oil consumption by 2030 and nearly half by 2050, superseding trucks, aircraft, and shipping, primarily due to the soaring demand for petrochemical products. Consequently, the petrochemical industry's expansion is triggering the growth of the ISO tank container market.
