The Container as a Transport, Production and Distribution Unit
Diffusion Cycle of Containerization Diffusion Level Niche markets Maturity Massive diffusion Network complexities Peak Growth New (niche) services Productivity gains Acceleration Network development Productivity multipliers Adoption Time

The First Wave of Containerization, 1970 – The Pioneers of the Triad Pioneer ports setting containerized operations in the economic triad (North America, Western Europe, Australia and Japan). Driver: Trade substitution Source: Guerrero and Rodrigue (2013)
The Second Wave of Containerization, 1980 – Adoption in the Triad and its Periphery Expansion of the triad and its trade partners (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Asian Tigers). Driver: Adoption of containerization Source: Guerrero and Rodrigue (2013)
The Third Wave of Containerization, 1990 – Global Diffusion Large diffusion in new markets (Latin America, Middle East / South Asia, Southeast Asia). Driver: Setting of global supply chains. Setting of transshipment hubs. Source: Guerrero and Rodrigue (2013)
The Fourth Wave of Containerization, 2000 – Global Standard The container as the standard transport support of the global economy. Driver: Expansion of global supply chains. China and transshipment hubs. Source: Guerrero and Rodrigue (2013)
The Fifth Wave of Containerization, 2010 – Peak Growth Peak growth and the setting of niches. Driver: Spillover effect and new transshipment hubs. Source: Guerrero and Rodrigue (2013)
