The global container depot services market size was estimated at USD 9.09 billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 14.82 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2033. The rising port congestion and container throughput pressures across major global trade hubs are propelling market growth, as shippers and carriers increasingly rely on depot services for storage, repositioning, and maintenance of containers.

Furthermore, expansion of cold chain logistics, digitalization of yard operations, stricter decarbonization policies, and regional port infrastructure investments are boosting demand for depot networks, strengthening their role as a critical link in the global supply chain. Global seaport networks continue to experience high container throughput, vessel bunching, and congestion at key gateways, creating persistent demand for off-port storage and depot services. The U.S. Department of Transportation highlights that elevated port activity has required shippers to rely on inland depots to maintain fluid cargo flows, while the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission notes that additional container storage and repositioning facilities are critical to maintaining supply chain resilience. These conditions are propelling market growth for container depots, as operators provide essential buffer capacity to manage surges in container volumes and avoid terminal gridlock.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reports that demand for refrigerated transport continues to climb as global food trade expands and consumers expect year-round access to perishable goods. This trend is boosting the market for reefer container handling, storage, and maintenance at depots, as specialized services such as temperature monitoring, plug-in points, and inspection reduce product losses and improve supply reliability. As governments emphasize stronger cold chain systems to mitigate food waste, depot operators investing in reefer capabilities are capturing a growing share of this market.
