Plastic Rigid IBC Market: Growth Drivers

Plastic rigid intermediate bulk containers are cost-effective and reusable in nature. In rigid bulk packaging, the plastic material is largely used due to their numerous performance benefits. Plastic rigid IBC is a rigid and self-standing container, which is made from polymeric material. IBCs are mostly used to store and transport liquids in bulk quantity, such as food ingredients, chemicals, solvents, pharmaceutical products, and granulated substance. The general volume of plastic rigid IBCs ranges between 119 and 793 gallons. IBCs are made from metal, plastic, or composite materials.

Composite IBCs are a combination of blow-molded plastic containers in a metal cage or plastic bag in corrugated box. These IBCs are industrial containers that can be reused for the transportation purpose and storage of liquids including pharmaceuticals, beverages, chemicals, solvents, and food.

The escalating product demand across food and beverages sector, owing to the wide use of plastic rigid IBCs for storing and transporting food items and beverages in bulk quantity from their manufacturing location is likely to drive the plastic rigid IBC market in the future. The lubricants and petroleum industry are also witnessing an increased use of plastic rigid IBC, as these containers can safely transport all types of solid or liquid products.
