Bulk Container Packaging Market Dynamics
In the forecast period of 2021-2028, rising preferences for superior flexitanks due to their advanced characteristics compared to other counterparts, rising number of edible oil exports, and rising adoption of flexitanks for shipping food ingredients and non-hazardous chemicals are expected to boost the growth of the bulk container packaging market.
The market is expected to grow due to a growth in pharmaceutical and chemical commerce.
Because of the expanding pharmaceutical products and chemicals commerce among various countries, the market for bulk container packaging is likely to develop in the next years. In the post-pandemic environment, this is likely to boost expansion possibilities. The focus on sterile packaging will only grow, presenting huge prospects for innovation and R&D for important manufacturers.
Plastic-based packaging adoption is increasing, which is driving up demand.
Despite growing worries about plastic waste disposal, plastic-based packaging is predicted to remain the most popular among all materials. Plastics aid in obtaining economies of scale in production because of their durability, lightweight, and lower overhead costs. There are numerous opportunities in the recycled plastics market.
Furthermore, the use of plastic containers to transport hazardous commodities such as radioactive material, flammables, explosives, and chemical products has increased. As a result, industrial applications are assisting in the growth of the drum market. Manufacturing firms are expected to shift their focus to biodegradable materials (plastics) to develop bulk containers for maintaining sustainability.
The market's growth is projected to be hampered by price volatility in oil and feedstock.
During the forecast period, rising environmental concerns and volatility in oil and feedstock costs are likely to hinder the growth of the bulk container packaging market. The global intermediate bulk container packaging industry is being hampered by a lack of consumer knowledge, competition from flexible intermediate bulk containers, which are significantly less expensive than rigid intermediate bulk containers, and higher startup expenses.
COVID-19 Impact on Bulk Container Packaging Market
The global epidemic of COVID 19 has disrupted people's everyday lives in the worst way possible. Everyone now has to deal with both financial and health-related difficulties. Most production units were shut down due to the lockdown and post-lockdown crisis, pushing the economy into a forced recession.
