Research and Markets has announced the addition of analyst firm Berg Insight AB’s new report Container Tracking and Security to its offerings.

According to a new research report from Berg Insight, the number of active remote container tracking units deployed on intermodal shipping containers was 77,000 in fourth quarter 2011. Growing at a compound annual growth rate of 66.9%, this number is expected to reach 1.0 million by 2016. The penetration rate of remote tracking systems in the total population of containers is estimated to increase from 0.4% in 2011 to 3.6% in 2016.

Berg Insight’s definition of a real-time container tracking system is one that incorporates data logging, satellite positioning, and data communication to a back-office application. The market for container tracking systems is still in its early stage. Aftermarket systems mounted on high-value cargo and refrigerated containers will be the first-use cases to adopt container tracking. After recent acquisitions of Startrak and PAR LMS, Orbcomm has emerged as the largest vendor of wireless container tracking devices with systems targeting refrigerated containers.
