According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Air Freight Containers market size was valued at US$ 348 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 477 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.6% during review period.
Air Freight Containers generally refer to "container-type ULDs" within the category of ULDs (Unified Container Loading Devices) for air cargo, such as the common LD3 AKE, LD6, and LD11. These are used to directly engage with the onboard locking system within the aircraft cargo hold, enabling rapid loading and unloading and standardized loading. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) also uses ULD as a collective term for "pallets, nets, and containers (containers)" in its C90 series technical standards. In 2025, global production of Air Freight Containers reached 270.7 k units, with an average price of approximately US$1249.81 per unit and a gross profit margin of approximately 34.43%.
TransDigm (Nordisk and AAR Cargo), Satco, Inc., and Safran (Zodiac Aerospace) are the world's top three manufacturers of air cargo loading equipment, collectively holding nearly 37% of the market share. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share of this industry, at 39% of the global total, followed by Europe (33%) and North America (23%). The core value of air freight containers is evolving from a loading tool to an asset-based infrastructure for air cargo networks. On one hand, cross-border e-commerce and high-frequency, small-batch replenishment have increased the intensity of route turnaround and ground operations, forcing airlines and ground service companies to continuously increase standardized ULD configurations and improve turnaround efficiency. On the other hand, pharmaceuticals and high-value precision cargo place higher demands on temperature control, visual tracking, and compliant delivery, driving the penetration of temperature-controlled ULD containers and supporting monitoring solutions, and leading to a shift in product structure towards higher unit prices and higher added value. The industry's main challenges lie in controlling total lifecycle costs and asset depreciation. Containerized ULDs circulate frequently across airport and carrier networks; loss, mismatch, maintenance backlogs, and improper handling can amplify total cost of ownership and create structural bottlenecks in capacity and ground support during peak seasons. Meanwhile, while lightweight composite solutions help reduce weight and increase efficiency, their costs, maintenance systems, and sustainable compliance standards need to be aligned with airlines' long-term operational strategies, leading to more rational and stratified product selection. In the coming years, the demand side will exhibit three clear main trends. First, standard aluminum alloy containers will remain the core of the business, with a focus on improving consistency and maintainability to reduce downtime. Second, lightweight composite containers will be more focused on high-frequency routes and fuel-sensitive scenarios, driven by quantifiable weight reduction benefits. Third, temperature-controlled ULDs will continue to expand in pharmaceutical cold chain and biological product air transport, evolving in tandem with digital tracking and asset management systems, propelling containers from standalone products to systemic solutions.
