The fiber drums market is likely to be worth US$ 1.1 billion in 2023, with a CAGR of 5.7% from 2023 to 2033. The fiber drums industry is expected to reach US$ 1.80 billion by 2033.

Demand for Lightweight Bulk Containers is growing

The two main reasons driving the fiber drums market are the growing retail sector and consumers’ inclination for lighter bulk containers. One of fiber drums’ main advantages is that they are 100% recyclable.

Fiber drums that are used for the transportation and storage of liquid products, such as adhesives and dyes, can have a range of coatings or insoluble materials, such as polyester, silicon, or polyethylene, coated inside of them. To evaluate a fiber drum’s performance and quality, two crucial experiments are performed: the drop test and the stacking or compression test.

End-use Industry Demand is Swelling

Fiber drums are widely used for many different purposes and applications, such as paints, adhesives, sanitary chemicals, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical products. The needs of various end-use industries vary. For instance, the food and beverage industry needs FDA-compliant containers, which round fiber drums may provide.

The insertion of internal and external liners is made possible by new manufacturing processes, which boost performance and resistance for a variety of novel applications. Square fiber drums are another option for products that are lighter and have fewer volume.

Both styles and designs are UN-approved and suitable for packing hazardous solids. Because fiber drum barrels are so cheap, many end users prefer them to other options. It is projected that the chemical industry would hold a significant portion of the market for fiber drums during the forecast period.

Regional Assessment:

Asia-Pacific region has the leading fiber drums market share throughout the projection period due to the presence of an increasing number of manufacturing units and emerging economies in countries such as China, India, Australia, and Indonesia.

These are the countries that export packaging materials as well as fiber drum packaging all over the world. Due to low labor costs and the availability of native raw materials in this region, manufacturers prefer this manufacturing unit for the packaging sector.
