Collapsible Rigid Containers Market to Raise at a CAGR of 4.9% over the Forecast Period 2019 – 2027

Nearly 120 million collapsible rigid containers were sold in 2018, according to a recent intelligence study by Future Market Insights. Volume sales of collapsible rigid containers will witness a modest 4% Y-o-Y growth in 2019 over 2018. While nestable and stackable containers are highly popular in the returnable packaging containers landscape, collapsible rigid containers have gained immense palpability in recent years, as more compatible for product storage and shipping.

With their convenience in loading-unloading and maintenance operations, collapsible rigid containers continue to gain momentum as vital packaging solution to avoid storage issues, and reduce overhead expenses. According to the report, 100% reusability of collapsible rigid containers, which has significantly complemented productivity in transport and logistics, will continue to propel the market growth.

Bulk packaging applications across multiple end use industries will significantly boost growth of collapsible rigid containers market. Just-under 30% share of the total sales volume of collapsible rigid containers is accounted by consumption in chemical industry, followed by food and beverages. Automotive, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals also remain among the significant end use consumers of collapsible rigid containers, according to FMI.

Demand for Foldable IBCs to Gain Uptick, Plastic Most Preferred Material Choice

Light weight, easy handling, and economic costs remain the key demand determining attributes of crates in collapsible rigid containers market. Crates continue to remain preferred collapsible rigid containers, with sales driven by their innate & unparalleled competency to other variants in terms of cost, handling, and lightweight. According to the study, crates currently account for over 80% of overall collapsible rigid container sales.

The report opines that foldable IBCs will witness healthy demand growth, attributed to their space and cost efficiency, convenient handling, and environmental suitability for bulk packaging of hazardous and non-hazardous fluids. As the demand for cost effective bulk packaging continues to rise, a higher Y-o-Y growth is projected for foldable IBCs in 2019.

Over 90% of collapsible rigid containers sold are made of plastic, whereas metal and other materials such as wood account for the remaining volume of sales. Although multiple advantages associated with plastic containers continue to reign supreme over those offered by wooden or corrugated box containers, popularity of non-plastics is visibly growing over the recent past. The global sustainable drive is pushing use of raw materials other than plastic, which is translating into increasing preference for wooden collapsible rigid containers in coming years.

Schoeller Arca System (SAS) accomplished a merger with an Indian polymer manufacturer, Time Technoplast Ltd., (TTL).
