This report provides Transforma Insights’ view on the Container Tracking market. This includes the tracking of refrigerated (reefer) and dry freight containers for the purpose of locating the containers, and monitoring and managing the cargo. There are a number of motivations for connecting containers. Container tracking offers GPS-based tracking of location, supporting transportation businesses to optimise their logistic operations with timely information on container movement. Some of these tracking devices support transportation companies to monitor condition data (such as temperature or alignment) of goods via continuous monitoring, to comply with shipping regulations and maintain product quality. This is necessary, especially for perishable goods requiring a minimum temperature to be maintained, as ensuring this temperature can reduce food wastage during transportation. Additional features allow these devices to help users geofence a specific area to restrict goods’ movement in the specified territory only. IoT devices could also help in overcoming theft problems by instantly notifying on-site personnel about any intrusion into containers.
