The use of steel containers by freight shippers grew by a staggering 54% in South Africa between 1998 and 2005. It is estimated that the use of steel containers for freight shipping will continue to increase by around 15% each year between 2010 and 2015 in South Africa.

The reliance on steel containers by other freight shipping nations is also set to increase. Analysts predict that the global use of steel containers will increase by 6% year on year between 2015 and 2015.
