Key Highlights on Global Plastic Rigid IBC Market

  • Asia-Pacific excluding Japan region (APEJ) is highly lucrative region for the growth of the global plastic rigid IBCs. Owing to increasing technological developments supported by growing industrialization in this region, the need for storage and transportation of numerous bulky goods is rising. Moreover, due to low cost of land and labour, the APEJ region is marked by growing manufacturing plants in various fields such as chemicals, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals etc. This has triggered the demand for plastic rigid IBCs in this region
  • By material type, the HDEP segment is the largest segment reflecting a high market share as of 2017. This segment is likely to expand in the years to come and to lead the global market by material type category. In 2017, this segment reflected a market share of 63.2%, making it the largest segment. The LLDPE segment also shows positive growth and is poised to register the highest CAGR during the assessment period followed by the LDPE segment
  • By capacity type segment, the 1000-1500 litres segment is poised to grow at a higher CAGR of 6.5% owing to increasing demand for high capacity containers. Moreover, the 500-1000 litres segment is by far the largest segment showing good hold in the market. However, the above 200 litres capacity segment is expected to show slow growth owing to high costs of transportation compared to the material being transported and hence this capacity is used on a small scale and only in critical circumstances
  • Industrial chemicals end use segment is anticipated to be a highly potential segment in the years to come. This segment has shown a very high intake of plastic rigid IBCs since couple of years. Tis segment is highly favourable for the growth of the plastic rigid IBC market during the assessment period. Moreover, the food and beverage industry also demands for more plastic rigid intermediate bulk containers and this end user segment represents a high CAGR of 6.5% throughout the 2017-2022 assessment period
