Asia-Pacific Rigid Bulk Packaging 乐鱼体育官网 Analysis
The Asia-Pacific Rigid Bulk Packaging 乐鱼体育官网 size is worth USD 34.12 Billion in 2025, growing at an 3.67% CAGR and is forecast to hit USD 40.86 Billion by 2030.
- Asia-Pacific sums up to 60% of the total global population. China and India are among the fastest-growing countries in the world. Moreover, Asia's economy and industries are constantly changing. The rapid growth of population and emerging economies drives the Asia-Pacific's rigid bulk packaging. This has increased demand for various industrial products such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
- Asia-Pacific is the world鈥檚 largest regional chemical 乐鱼体育官网 by volume. The 乐鱼体育官网's growth can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing construction activity in the region and the growing investment in the infrastructure sector. The upcoming construction and the growing foreign direct investment (FDI) in India and Southeast Asia are expected to contribute to the 乐鱼体育官网's growth. With the upswing in construction and infrastructural activity, there would be a proportional demand for bulk containers, drums, and pails for chemicals, paints, and other materials across the region.
- The pharmaceutical packaging industry has been experiencing substantial growth for several years. Due to innovations and emerging treatments, there is room for further growth in this section of the pharma industry. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a new awareness of the need to package and distribute products efficiently. Rigid bulk packaging is one of the most commonly used packaging types for volatile, highly reactive, and delicate products. Their growth in the pharmaceutical industry would be attributed to the rigid-bulk packaging 乐鱼体育官网 across the region.
- The federal government across the region is constantly implementing stringent guidelines for the environmental sustainability and recyclability of packaging material. However, the 乐鱼体育官网's growth has been a major challenge due to the recycling and environmental concerns related to industrial bulk packaging.
- Further, Japan's fast-growing food & beverage industry, combined with the country鈥檚 high rate of manufacturing and distribution of intermediate bulk container liners, would contribute to the growth of the intermediate bulk containers in the 乐鱼体育官网. According to Nikkei Asia's report in February 2023, as stated by the government, Japan鈥檚 food exports reached a record high of USD 10.9 billion in 2022, attaining the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asia-Pacific Rigid Bulk Packaging 乐鱼体育官网 Trends
Demand From the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Industry is Expected to Drive the 乐鱼体育官网
- The demand for pharmaceutical packaging is majorly emerging from densely populated economies like India and China. The increasing pharmaceutical production in these countries has been further boosting the demand. Chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers demand lightweight and cost-effective yet durable packaging solutions for all their liquid bulk packaging needs to strengthen their manufacturing and production capabilities across the supply chain. Rigid bulk packaging products such as industrial drums play significant applications in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
- India is actively upgrading its pharmaceutical packaging facilities, and the pharmaceutical exports in India reached USD 25.4 billion from April 2022 to March 2023, a year-on-year (YoY) growth of nearly three percent, according to Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India (PHARMEXCIL). Also, pharmaceutical exports are expected to be around USD 28 billion in the financial year 2023-24. As IBCs and other bulk containers are used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry for storage and transportation, the growth in the pharmaceutical industry would proportionately increase the demand for rigid bulk packaging in the country.
- Hazardous chemicals must be shipped carefully to ensure traceability of both chemicals and containers, minimize loss of assets, and ensure compliance with all legal container requirements. The rigid plastic intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and steel or plastic drums are widely used for chemical transportation and, therefore, would witness a robust demand across the region.
- According to the Atradius report, based on year-on-year (YoY) percentage change in chemicals output across world regions. Asia-Pacific (APAC) is expected to maintain relatively high growth rates in 2023. In contrast, the Americas may have a lower percentage change year-on-year (YoY) as chemical production in the region is expected to decrease in 2023.
- Furthermore, there is a significant technological advancement in the industrial rigid bulk packaging segment in countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Several manufacturers developing IBCs that are electronically tagged or (Radio Frequency Identification) RFID labeled could give them the traceability they need and reduce the cost of lost or damaged IBCs.
India Is Expected To Hold a Significant Share in the 乐鱼体育官网
- An economy's development level can be measured by its infrastructure. Construction activities account for more than 10% of India's annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and are one of the largest sectors across the country. The government of India is actively working to stimulate construction activities. Therefore, the government of India has forecasted very high investment needs to provide infrastructure to define standards and promote growth. Healthy growth in the country's construction sector is expected to be attributed to the demand for rigid bulk containers, drums, and pails nationwide.
- Industrial drums are widely used for packaging chemicals, fertilizers, and petroleum lubricants. The steel and plastic drums are used in the chemical industry. Consequently, the 乐鱼体育官网 is witnessing various expansions to increase production capabilities.
- Industrial drums offer cost-effective transport packaging solutions to ship hazardous and non-hazardous materials, like chemicals, wines, and fruit juices. As stated by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics (DGCI&S) report, processed fruits and juices have seen a steady rise in value since the fiscal year 2020.
- The country's processed juices exports amounted to USD 695.44 million in 2021 and is anticipated to increase to USD 908.09 million in 2023. Drums allow higher operational efficiency and effectiveness in bulk quantities of liquid commodities. Therefore, this growth in processed fruit juice export implies a robust demand for industrial drums nationwide.
Asia-Pacific Rigid Bulk Packaging Industry Overview
The Asia-Pacific rigid bulk packaging 乐鱼体育官网 is moderately competitive, with the presence of major players like SCHUTZ Container Systems (Shanghai) Co. Ltd, Greif Inc., Pyramid Technoplast Ltd, Kodama Plastics Co. Ltd, and more in the 乐鱼体育官网. Additionally, the other major players in the packaging 乐鱼体育官网 are adopting acquisition and partnership strategies to enter the 乐鱼体育官网 and grow their offerings.
- In May 2023, TPL Plastech unveiled its state-of-the-art Industrial Packaging manufacturing plant at Dahej in Gujarat; the company is diversifying its Industrial Packaging products portfolio and entering the Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) manufacturing 乐鱼体育官网. As industrial demand in the region continues to grow rapidly, the facility will be able to serve both existing and new customers.
- March 2023 - To address the global demand for industrial packaging growing rapidly, Mauser Packaging Solutions announced the continuation of its expansion in China by opening a new high-tech manufacturing site near Shanghai, China鈥檚 Economic Development Zone (Haiyan).
