Rigid Industrial Packaging Market Dynamics and Trends
The global rigid industrial packaging market is expected to drive by growing international trade, shifting to eco-friendly packaging solutions, and demand for cost-effective solutions.
Growing international trade
The growing international trade is expected to drive the global rigid industrial packaging market in the forecast period. The trade growth between the countries has been influenced by several factors such as developing technology, government decisions, industrial activities, increasing competition, new trade agreements, etc. The growing food & beverages, petroleum, and chemical trade among the countries create a massive need for rigid industrial packaging. For instance, the European chemical surplus grew from EUR 88 billion (2010) to EUR 178 billion (2020), equivalent to average annual growth of 7.3 %. The U.S. was the leading chemical importer with EUR 243 billion and exporting value of EUR 201 billion. In comparison, China import and export of chemicals accounted for EUR 196 billion and EUR 145 billion.
The companies have been forming various strategies and making new developments in the field with increasing scope and competition in the market. For instance, in 2018, Four packaging firms Mauser Group, BWAY, National Container Group, and Industrial Container Services, created a new sustainability-focused firm, Mauser Packaging Solutions. The company will now offer packaging solutions in various industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petrochemicals, agrochemicals, etc.
Shortage of industrial containers
The shortage of industrial packaging is responsible for restraining the growth of the rigid industrial packaging market in the forecast period. The shortage resulted due to the delay of a large number of containers by several weeks or the containers stuck in the wrong ports along with hindered IBC production capacity due to staff absenteeism, creating shortages of rigid industrial packaging globally.
Moreover, there has been a continual increase in steel and polymer prices, affecting the production of rigid industrial packaging in the present scenario. Various countries have been reducing trade or increasing taxes on trade, affecting market growth. For example, China has increased export tax rebates on propylene, ethylene, and ethylene glycol.
COVID-19 Impact on Rigid Industrial Packaging Market Growth
Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the rigid industrial packaging industry have seen a notable impact as all the production work, factories, and other activities were closed. As a result, production was hindered by halts and supply chain disruptions globally. In 2019, the world's top nine of the top ten importing countries reported negative growth rates for exports and imports. Shipping rates of containers are a significant component of trade costs, so the new hike in the prices poses an additional challenge to the world economy. As a result, it struggles to recover from the global crisis. The shipping industry based on circularity and COVID-19 has caused huge disturbances in the supply chain, resulting in a shortage of container shortage in the industry.
After the pandemic, the governments still impose various restrictions, such as working with half the workforce and fewer operating hours hindering the production cycle of the market. The downfall in international trade and the closing of ports for a long time have directly impacted the growth of rigid industrial packaging. However, the market is expected to recover after the pandemic, with sectors aiming to work with higher production rates to recover from the incorporated losses.
Rigid Industrial Packaging Market Segment and Shares
By product type, the rigid industrial packaging market is broadly classified into intermediate bulk containers (IBC), drums, pails, bulk boxes, and others.
The intermediate bulk container is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030)
The intermediate bulk container is expected to hold the largest market for the rigid industrial packaging market and is expected to continue its dominance in the forecast period. IBCs are used to transport and store solvents, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, liquids, food ingredients, grains, etc. The end-users emphasize IBC's rental business due to its potential benefits efficient use of space, less labor cost, freight and storage costs, and elimination of disposal. The containers are available in various types of materials such as plastic, steel, and composites. Moreover, the intermediate bulk containers are also offered on a rental basis, offering cost-effective solutions to the consumers.
The companies have been extending their rental IBC business in the region with the growing demand. For instance, in 2020- Schoeller Allibert, the market leader in recyclable, reusable, and returnable plastic packaging solutions launched ChemiFlow, a U.N.-approved Intermediate Bulk Container designed to transport hazardous and highly corrosive chemicals. Moreover, Thielman IBC has extended its service offerings to rentals, rent-to-own and leasing options for Intermediate Bulk Containers with continuously increasing demand.
