Market Share of Unit Load Device Industry
The market for unit load devices (ULDs) is highly fragmented, with several players holding significant shares. Prominent market players include ACL Airshop, DoKaSch GmbH, VRR Aviation, Satco Inc., and CSafe Global. To stay competitive, major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are prioritizing the design and development of advanced ULDs for aviation applications. This trend is driving increased expenditure on research and development and the creation of next-generation ULDs, which are expected to create more opportunities in the coming years.
For instance, in September 2021, Qatar Airways Cargo signed a five-year contract with Safran to use Safran Cabin's new Fire Resistant Container (FRC) solution. This made Qatar Airways Cargo the first cargo carrier to adopt Safran's FRC solution. Under the agreement, the company will replace its entire fleet of more than 10,000 ULDs with this unique container design, with plans to exchange 70% of the units already during 2022.
