Global Unit Load Device Market, Product Type (Lower Deck 3, Lower Deck 6, Lower Deck 11, M 1, Pallets), Application (Commercial, Cargo), Material Type (Metal, Composite, Others), Container Type (Normal, Cold) - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2029
Market Analysis and Size
Unit load devices or ULD are the containers for baggage and cargo that are typically carried in the holds of appropriately sized and equipped aeroplanes and are locked so that they cannot move within the hold while in flight. The ability to locate bags and cargo assigned to unit load devices and provide centralized unit load device distribution via GSM/Wi-Fi connectivity has led to an increasing acceptance of this advanced technology. The introduction of the internet of things (loT) with unit load devices (ULD) technology in the aviation industry increases cargo transport service operational efficiency. The combination of unit load devices and loT technology has resulted in the efficient operation of baggage and cargo systems.
- The growing use of wide-body aircraft, the expanding aviation sector, and the cheap operational expenses of unit load devices all contribute to the market's growth. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the unit load device market will grow at a CAGR of 4.38% during the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

Covid-19 Impact on Unit Load Device Market
The lockdown restrictions across the globe led to the major disruption in the supply chain which negatively affected the unit load device market. Moreover, the aircraft industry experienced a slowdown as a result of the suspension of industrial activity and the ban on international travel in order to contain the spread of the global pandemic. Lockdowns and isolation during pandemics restricted the various operations in aerospace as well as other end use industries which complicated the market value. The loss of revenue due to the suspended operations and the postponed activities across the industries led to the reduced deliveries of the unit load device, thus further hampering the market's growth.
Recent Development
- In August 2020, Data introduced technologically enhanced Bluetooth low energy (BLE) readers to track cargo travel. BLE readers are commonly used to track the mobility of ULDs. Using this technology, shipments may track the ULD as well as sensor-based information such as the ULD's movement, temperature, and humidity of the container.
- In May 2020, UNILODE Aviation Solutions (US) and Air Canada agreed to a seven-year deal to develop a cost-effective ULD management solution. US, an expert in outsourced ULD, will deliver ULD management solutions to help Air Canada digitalize its transportation processes.
