This market research analysis identifies the constantly increasing demand for IBC containers from diverse sectors as one of the primary growth factors for this market. It has been observed that the growth of the industries including food and horticulture due to the increase production and trade of horticulture products and chemicals, have boosted the demand for flexible bulk packaging. Additionally, the low-cost of shale gas, that is used as a major feedstock for the manufacturing chemicals, is inducing players in the chemical and fertilizer sectors to enhance the production of chemicals, which also increases the demand for FIBC bags.

Moreover, the increased need to reduce the overall weight of bulk packaging and transporting materials will also drive the demand for FIBC containers in several other industrials sectors such as construction, boosting market growth in the coming years.

One of the major trends that will gain traction in the FIBC containers market in the coming years is the usage of bio-based raw materials. The increased awareness towards the usage of synthetic plastics will induce manufacturers to develop eco-friendly plastics. Companies such as Braskem and The Dow Chemical Company have already invested heavily in developing technologies to produce bio-based polymers through biomass. This will increase the adoption of bio-based products among FIBC manufacturers as well, in turn, boosting the demand for FIBC bags.
