Market Overview:
The global plastic intermediate bulk containers (IBC) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for plastic IBCs from various end-use industries, such as chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. In terms of type, the HDPE segment is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its properties such as high strength and resistance against corrosion.
Product Definition:
A plastic intermediate bulk container (IBC) is a large, reusable container made of plastic that is used to store or transport liquids or granulated materials. IBCs are often used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE):
High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is a thermoplastic polymer with the viscosity of 0.79 cP and molecular weight ranging from 4,000 to 6,500. It has a low melting point and soft feel under the microscope.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC):
Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic polymer with the formula (CH2)xCl. It is a solid at normal room temperature and has no significant melting point. The reason it has such an unusual property is because of the presence of one or more chlorine molecules in its structure.
Application Insights:
The chemical industry dominated the global plastic intermediate bulk containers market, accounting for over 45.0% of the overall revenue in 2017. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand for chemicals across various end-use industries including automotive and construction. Moreover, technological advancements such as single source solution (SSL) offering by companies such as Ingersoll Rand, Inc., D&H Global Services Ltd., and Poly One Corporation are expected to drive the segment further during the forecast period.
Food industry is anticipated to emerge as one of the fastest growing application segments with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rising demand for food grade plastics in packaging applications including clamshells & lids and bottles & cans among others which are manufactured using highdensity polyethylene (HDPE), polystyrene (PS) and low density polyethylene (LDPE).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals and others. China is one of the largest producers of PVC products globally owing to easy availability of raw materials in the country.
The presence of a large number of plastic manufacturers coupled with increasing investments for production capacity expansion has also contributed significantly toward regional market growth. In addition, high consumption levels coupled with rapid industrialization across emerging economies such as India and Vietnam are anticipated to further drive product demand over the next eight years (2018 - 2030).
Europe was estimated at USD X billion in 2017 owing to growing consumer awareness regarding sustainable packaging solutions along with stringent regulations by several regulatory bodies pertaining environmental protection standards set by European Union (EU).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for plastic intermediate bulk containers in the food and beverage industry as they are ideal for storage, transportation, and dispensing of liquids, semi-solids, and powders.
- Rising popularity of single-use plastic intermediate bulk containers in various end-user industries due to their lightweight design, easy handling characteristics, and low cost.
- Proliferation of ecommerce businesses is fueling the demand for plastic intermediate bulk containers as these boxes are being increasingly used to pack and ship products across different geographies.
- Growing concerns over environmental pollution caused by conventional packaging materials such as cardboard or glass is prompting many companies to switch to reusable plastic intermediate bulk containers which can be recycled or reused multiple times. 5
