Container orchestration system is the
process of determining the current and past locations of a container.
This helps trace or track containers throughout the supply-chain, from
the manufacturer to the end-consumer. Furthermore, it helps
manufacturers reduce piracy by ensuring easy recognition of original
products. The container orchestration market
is estimated to expand at a high growth rate during the forecast
period. The implementation of container orchestration system helps
manufacturers enhance efficiency of their distribution channel and
reduce piracy.
Expansion of the container orchestration
market in the near future is anticipated to be fuelled by the increase
in rate of adoption of automation in logistics and shipping services.
Rapid expansion of the internet retailing market and increase in
popularity of online shopping, globally, are driving the overall
logistics market, which in turn is boosting the container orchestration
market. Implementation of advanced technology, such as RFID, provides
quick reading and high levels of security. Nevertheless, the high
implementation cost of aggregation & serialization solutions,
coupled with lack of common standards and regulations, is expected to
restrain the market. The software solutions segment held a major share
of the container orchestration market, in terms of revenue, in 2017.
The global container orchestration market
can be segmented based on product, technology, and region. Based on
product, the container orchestration market can be classified into
hardware and software. The software segment can be further sub-segmented
into bundle tracking, line controller, case tracking, and shipment
manager solutions. The hardware segment can be further split into
marking and printing solutions, barcode scanners, checkweighers,
monitoring and verification solutions, labeling solutions, and RFID
readers. In terms of technology, the market can be segregated into RFID,
2D barcodes, and linear barcodes. The RFID (Radio-Frequency
Identification) segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during
the forecast period. Technological advantages, such as high data storage
capacity, high durability, and reusability, and no requirement of line
of sight are key factors driving the segment. The marking and printing
solutions sub-segment is expected to hold a prominent share in the
market, while the 2D barcodes segment is anticipated to account for a
notable share of the market in 2017.
In terms of region, the global container
orchestration market can be segmented into North America, South America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America is
anticipated to hold a prominent share of the global container
orchestration market by the end of the forecast period. This dominance
is primarily due to the presence of several global players in this
region, especially in the U.S. and Canada coupled with large volume of
trade. Europe is also projected to hold a significant share of the
global market. This trend can be attributed to the increasing focus on
innovations through research and development and IT technologies in
developed countries in the region. Furthermore, the market in Asia
Pacific is expected to expand at a rapid pace between 2018 and 2026.
Increasing import and export in the region along with the growing
adherence toward regulatory compliances are key factors driving the
container orchestration market in Asia Pacific. Expanding economies in
Asia Pacific, such as India and China, are emerging as preferred choices
for investors owing to the significant potential these countries
possess in terms of trade.
