Political Factors- There is a strong correlation between this growing maritime conflict and the political processes anticipated by the general theory of hegemonic stability. But "hegemony" and "power" are distinct concepts. Instability in international shipping arises neither from America's loss of power in shipping nor from challenges from Europe and the Third World. The increasing initiative by the government to promote the export capacity of multiple commodities via all modes of transport provides an opportunity for the market’s growth. The increasing transport of commodities is expected to bring an inflow of foreign currency for the economy's growth. This athleisure trend is projected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market. For instance, the European Union’s increasing agricultural commodity trade project is working towards strengthening the export capacity of Pacific countries across industries such as forestry, livestock, agriculture, and more.
Economical Factors- This method uses approximations to determine the so-called grass root cost, which is a cost approximation including labor, installation, and maintenance cost. Adding all the different elements bought, a total estimated investment cost is obtained. While not extremely precise, this cost indicates how expensive the process is and can give indications about its feasibility. Furthermore, the increasing competition in the market is forcing market players to invest in the overall manufacturing cost of tank containers. This is expected to increase the overall manufacturing cost of the tank containers.
Social Factor- The swift economic development and industrial development. China in the region is one of the leading producers of shipping containers and has witnessed extensive development of manufacturing abilities. Better transportation services in the North American region adds to the market's growth and increases the transportation of raw materials for several industries globally. For instance, in recent times, India has started manufacturing tank containers on a large scale which has led to a reduction in the sale of Chinese tank containers. India is already paying up to 40% more on the actual price of imported containers due to hefty taxes on both countries' products and higher shipping costs. India is considered a budding market for tank containers during the Projection period as several market players are setting up manufacturing units in India as labor charges are very low in the country.
Technological Factors- A growing number of technologies are being developed to produce different high-added-value products, such as phytochemicals, ethanol, and other chemicals from biomass, representing an important trend that needs to be evaluated. Using the latest technologies to manufacture durable and compact tank containers also influences using the latest technologies. Manufacturing tank containers with the help of ISO mandates help abide by the rules and regulations provided for the manufacturing of tanks.
Environmental Factors- The use of tank container multi-mode transport instead of the current traditional transport mode. If this new kind of logistics operation mode is promoted, it can improve the degree of chemical logistics standardization. Besides, this model is safe; environmental protection saves resources and reduces losses. It can also decrease the inventory level of chemical materials or products in the supply chain. This kind of transport mode can realize low-lot and door-to-door logistics services. It doesn't operate cargos directly to avoid pollution and leakage.
Legal Factors- Arkema collaborated with Nexxiot, a Swiss company that offers digital logistics solutions. This collaboration aims at digitizing Arkema's tank container and rail freight wagon fleets, utilizing Nexxiot's IoT devices and intelligent cloud platform to help Arkema clients achieve end-to-end visibility, increase quality standards, and improve the overall service experience.
