This can be seen below in the current container inventory awaiting pick-up in China. With inventories at such a low base, the container price will remain very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/almarcontainergroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/china-dry-van-new-production-inventory.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70323\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Will It Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our view now firmly remains that the container shortage and high pricing will remain well into 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This extended outlook is largely due to the continued forecast of global trade growth and the fact that the shipping lines and container factories just cannot create the required capacity to handle the growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact For Us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We will unfortunately see further price increases flowing through to the local market in the next few days and these will be in the region of $100 - $200 increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope the above provides a helpful insight into the global container market.
