The nanosilica market consists of the sales of nanosilica products and related goods by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that are engaged in various fields such as medical, electrical & electronics, chemicals, construction, and others. Nanosilica is an allotrope of silicon, which is the second most abundant element in the earth’s crust. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. The nanosilica market covered in this report is segmented by type into P type, S type, type III. It is also segmented by raw material into rice husk, olivine, bagasse, others and by application into rubber, health and medicine, food, coatings, plastic, concrete, gypsum, cosmetics, electronics, others. The global nanosilica market is expected to grow from $3.18 billion in 2020 to $3.61 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.47%. The growth is mainly due to the companies resuming their operations and adapting to the new normal while recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $4.74 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7.04%. Increased demand for nanoparticles in the medical industry contributed to the growth of the nano-silica market. Nanoparticles are presently being engaged as a tool to explore the rarest approaches of medical sciences in several ways like imaging, sensing, targeted drug delivery, gene delivery systems, and artificial implants. According to a replacement study done by Washington University (GW) Cancer Center, in 2018, found that nanoparticle-encapsulated doxorubicin is promising within the treatment of triple-negative carcinoma. Doxorubicin may be a well-known anthracycline drug class used primarily together with chemotherapy. Amino-functionalized silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are being used as targeted delivery vehicles for the potential treatment of carcinoma. SiNPs can efficiently encapsulate doxorubicin and may be attached to a targeting moiety like anti-Claudin-4 (CLN4). Nanoparticles have been found to help increase the contrast of the image produced by ultrasonography particularly when imaging tumors. The nanoparticles market experiences huge demand from the medical industry, which in turn will propel the revenues generated for the nano-silica market. An increase in the government-sanctioned lockdowns and several manufacturing plants being restricted for an inconsiderable period had impeded the growth of the global nano-silica market. The government shutdown has proved extremely tough for the construction industry which uses nano-silica in its cement-based materials, especially concrete. According to the BLDUP data published in 2020, the government shutdown’s impact on the construction industry was that all the construction projects that were under federal funding ended up losing profits and employee productivity. There have been 18 government shutdowns in the USA history, with the most recent one lasting from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019, the longest to date. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the five-week cessation took a meaningful economic toll, costing the USA economy $11 billion, with nearly a quarter of that total invariably lost. Thus, the mass closure of construction industries has negatively affected the growth of the nano-silica market. The launch of 3D printing aerogel microstructures has created immense demand in the nano-silica market. The 3D-printed aerogel micro-structures provide thermal insulation for miniature components. For instance, in 2020, a team of EMPA in Switzerland has developed a technique to 3D print microstructures using insulating silica aerogels. The team has clicked in generating stable, well-acclimated microstructures from silica aerogel by utilizing a 3D printer. The printed structures can be as slender as a tenth of a millimeter. The aerogel can be used to insulate small electronic components and even build small pumps and sensors. The thermal conductivity of the silica aerogel is scarcely under 16 mW/(m*K), which is half of that of polystyrene, and even extremely less than that of a non-moving layer of air at 26 mW/(m*K). At an equivalent period of your time, the printed silica aerogel has even more evolved mechanical attributes and may even be riddled and crushed. This exposes completely new feasibilities for the post-processing of 3D-printed aerogel moldings. In May 2018, U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc., a US-based producer of commercial silica, announced the acquisition of EP Minerals for $750 million. The acquisition is expected to enhance U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc.’s Oil and Gas businesses. EP Minerals is a US-based producer of Min-u-Sil Ground Silica used in architectural, industrial, traffic paints, and coatings.

The shipping containers market consists of the sales of shipping containers and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that are engaged in manufacturing shipping containers with suitable strength to withstand handling, storage, and shipment. Shipping containers range from ubiquitous corrugated boxes to large steel boxes used for intermodal shipments. Only goods and services traded between entities or sold to end consumers are included. The shipping containers market covered in the report is segmented by product type into dry storage container, flat rack container, refrigerated container, special-purpose container, open top container, double door container, others; by container size into small container, large container, high cube container; by end-use into food and beverages, consumer goods, healthcare, industrial products, vehicle transport, others. The global shipping containers market is expected to decline from $8.16 billion in 2020 to $8.36 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.48%. The change in growth trend is mainly due to the companies stabilizing their output after catering to the demand that grew exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The market is expected to reach $10.73 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 6.46%. An increase in demand for cargo transportation through ships contributed to the growth of the shipping container market. The demand for the transportation of cargo through waterways is growing owing to factors such as cost-efficiency and secured way of moving goods as compared to other means of transportation. For instance, in 2018, a larger amount of goods was moved between the UK major ports and the EU (European Union) than any other region accounting for 44% (206.2 million tons) of entire critical port traffic. In 2018, the total gross weight of goods transported was estimated at almost 1.8 billion tons as part of the EU short sea shipping. However, Italy was the major short sea shipping country in the EU in 2018, surpassing the Netherlands, with a share of approximately 15% of the total tonnage of EU short sea shipping. Moreover, ships can carry more cargo from one place to another within a short period. This in turn is projected to boost the growth of the shipping containers market. The high costs associated with shipping containers is expected to restrain the growth of the shipping container market. The price of shipping containers depends on their size and condition. The bigger the container, the higher the price. And, the newer the unit, the more expensive it could be. For instance, in the USA, the average cost for a used container is around $2,000. The larger 40’ unit that could be altered for houses ranges from $3,000 to $4,000 for the used one and is approximately $6,000 for a brand-new unit. Moreover, there are other costs such as shipping container home plans, foundation costs being involved which make them less affordable for purchase. Thus, the high costs of shipping containers are projected to limit the growth of the shipping container market over the forecast period. In May 2019, COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd, a China-based containerized marine shipping company acquired five Chinese units of Singamas Container Holdings Ltd., for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is expected to enhance COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd.’s container market.
