Bulk Container Packaging (Flexitanks, Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers and Bulk Container Liners) Market for Food & Beverages, Chemicals and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/24/2014 --Bulk container packaging market includes the manufacturers of bulk or high volume packaging products such as flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC), flexitanks, and bulk container liners. These containers are mainly used to store pharmaceuticals, non hazardous chemicals, oils and fats, beverages, and food products in large quantities and transport them via sea, road, or railways.

Flexible intermediate bulk containers are industrial containers that are produced from polypropylene or woven polyethylene. These containers are conductive and anti-static in terms of electrostatic properties and are used to carry products which are dry and flowable. Flexitanks are bulk liquid containers with multi-layering – an inner coating of polythene and an outer covering of polypropylene. These containers range from 14,000 to 24,000 liters in terms of capacity. Bulk container liners are produced in woven fabric and blown film forms and are used in shipping of dry materials or chemicals.

Market Drivers, Restraints and Opportunities :

The export of wine from Europe and vegetable oil from Southeast Asia has increased and is likely to boost up the bulk container packaging market. Vegetable oil exporters have a preference for flexitanks due to high operational efficiency and low costs over other packaging items such as drum, barrels, and tank containers. While wine producers prefer flexitanks due to lesser glass and bottling costs, import duties, and transportation costs.

Flexitanks are highly operational that give them an edge over other alternatives. Coupled with cost efficiency, high operation of flexitanks are the key factors that drives bulk container packaging market.
