Market Overview
The global bulk bag divider market is estimated to reach at a high CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2022-2029.
The bulk bag divider is a solution for carrying and storing bulk bags while also addressing several issues identified due to damage caused by wooden pallets. The bulk bag divider was invented specifically for stacking blocks. Furthermore, bulk bag dividers offer a storage and transportation solution for a wide range of items and reduce the possibility of stumbling blocks by facilitating smooth and efficient labor. They are commonly employed in the unstacking of bulk bags, and they help protect bags from fork arms and sharp edges.
Market Dynamics
The growing demand for smart design that can tailor to real-time applications creates immense opportunities for the bulk bag dividers. Increasing demand for cost-effective packaging coupled with eco-friendly materials boosts the demand for bulk bag dividers in recent times.
Growing demand for smart design that can tailor to real-time applications
Various challenges have been encountered during the transportation and block stacking of bulk bags. The bulk bags are filled with powder and granules, which tend to shift and potentially cause the bag to settle. Furthermore, nails, splinters and sharp edges on the wood pallets can also damage the bulk bags. Thus the mentioned challenges have created the demand for smart packaging design that can tailor to real-time applications.
The companies are offering bulk bag divider free of splintering and sharp edges that can efficiently protect the bags stalked against abrasion and damage. Thus the four-sided fork shaft element enables easy access and safe stacking when using a forklift. The increasing arrival of smart design is expected to accelerate the market share for the product in the forecast period.
Increasing demand for cost-effective packaging coupled with eco-friendly materials is boosting the demand for bulk bag dividers globally
Associated challenges of bulk bags related to damage lead to an uplift in the overall cost of the packaging in many cases. However, increasing investments by the companies to bring smart and cost-effective products have overcome many challenges in recent times. These advanced products provide necessary reliability while minimizing the lost cost associated with downtime issues. Furthermore, the advanced products provide potential savings with their custom-designed block-stacking ability. In addition, companies are also offering bulk bags dividers following an eco-friendly approach.
For instance, Cabka is offering a smart solution for transporting bulk bags- big bulk divider available in two types of recycled materials, depending on the field application: Returnable containers, logistical circuits, and long-term use in warehouses are ideally suited for recycled ACM, a low-cost alternative to one-way shipping and recycled HDPE. Raised edges prevent slippage or overlapping of bags, and a flat, firm contact surface makes it excellent for automatic roller conveyors, to name a few features.
Growing challenges associated with bulk bag dividers have increased the cost of production, therefore, hampered the growth of the product
Bulk bags is one the popular method for transporting and storing bulk goods. However, stacking on pallets in blocks creates problems such as when the forklift is used to separate the pallets, the bulk bags are often damaged. The damage caused results in long downtime and increased product cost. Furthermore, Bulk bag carrying and block stacking on standard pallets are difficult tasks. Bulk bags can be damaged by the big gaps at the bottom of typical pallets.
Powder and granule-filled bags can shift and settle, making them difficult to remove from a typical pallet. Thus, the mentioned challenges due to outdated packaging design are hurting the product's growth in recent times. However, growing technological advancements in packaging and the arrival of smart packaging are more likely to overcome the mentioned hurdle in the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global bulk bag divider market has shown a significant decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as various manufacturing plants were shut for months during 2019-2020 period. Further several countries have restricted production activities during the covid-19 pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the major lockdown leads to the sudden dropping of consumers' interest in purchasing any goods. A halt in transportation sectors has severely hampered the bulk bag divider market due to disruption in the product's supply chain management.
Segment Analysis
The global bulk bag divider market is segmented based on material, end-user, structure design and region.
Plastic holds the largest market share due to cost-effectiveness, easy availability and excellent thermal protection of the material
The global bulk bag divider market based on material is bifurcated into plastic, metal, paper, stainless steel, aluminum, tinplate, etc. Plastic holds the largest market share of the mentioned material type due to cost-effectiveness, easy availability, and excellent thermal protection. For instance, Nelson is offering Bulk Bag Plastic Pallet as a unit base and divider for block-stacking; a low-profile design takes up less space when empty and safely double-stacks big bags.
Furthermore, the design can be handled easily, and a unique raised and flat deck design can be flipped to use as either top or bottom. The plastic-based bulk bags can transport various products such as transporting food additives, polymers, fertilizers, sand, feed, pharmaceuticals, or other hard-to-handle granular materials. However, keeping the environmental side effects offered by plastic, companies have shifted to adopt an eco-friendly approach by bringing recyclable materials-based products expected to hold the highest market share in the forecast period.
Geographical Analysis
North America holds the highest market share for the bulk bag divider market in recent times, particularly due to increasing demand for the product in various applications in the region
North America has built the highest market share for the bulk bag divider market recently, particularly due to the increasing demand for the product in various applications in the region.
