China's domestic container shipping mainly concentrates in the coastal area, Yangtze River Basin and Pearl River Basin. It has become one of the major methods of domestic freight. At present, the container rate in domestic shipping is less than 30%, so it will have a bright prospect of development. Over the past few years, domestic container industry developed rapidly, and the average annual growth rate is more than 40%, far higher than that of foreign trade. Therefore,the percentage of Domestic trade container in total port throughput was increasing continuously. In 2011, driven by the growth of domestic demand, industrial transformation, the development of central and western China and other factors, domestic container shipping freight continued to grow in a rapid pace. It is expected that after 2012 the industry growth rate will reach about 20%. From a private equity investor's perspective, the valuation of this industry is in a lower level, and therefore it is the right time to get in. The investors should choose the domestic container shipping companies with core competitiveness. <<
