Global Flexitank Market is valued at approximately USD 1.02 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 22.80% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Flexitanks are large, flexible containers used for the transportation of non-hazardous liquids in bulk. They are typically made of multiple layers of polyethylene or similar materials that are resistant to punctures and leaks. Flexitanks are designed to fit into standard 20-foot shipping containers, effectively turning them into bulk liquid transport units. Growth in the market is anticipated to be driven by rising international commerce activity as well as the competitive advantages of flexitanks over more traditional alternatives including ISO containers, drums, barrels, and IBCs. The capacity of flexitanks ranges from 12,000 to 26,000 litres. A broad variety of liquid goods, including wines, concentrates, fruit juices, edible oils, mineral water, malt extracts, lubricants, tallow, non-hazardous chemicals, fertilizers, and medications, are typically sent using them.
Some of the biggest pharmaceutical businesses in the world, such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Eli Lilly and Company, and Abbott Laboratories, are based in the United States. These businesses favour single-trip flexitanks when shipping temperature-sensitive liquids, which means that the U.S. industry has a lot of room to grow. Flexitanks are economically preferred bulk packaging options since they are significantly less expensive than ISO containers and drums and can carry 15% more payload than IBCs and 44% more than drums. Additionally, they are mostly made to be used once, which lowers the chance of contamination. The market is expected to rise because of an increasing requirement to decrease bulk packaging weight to improve freight cost-effectiveness. In addition, a few other variables that are projected to drive product demand during the projection years 2023-2030 are minimal labour and logistic costs related to handling flexitanks, zero cleaning expenses due to one-time usage, and eco-friendliness. However, circumstances such as leaks or breaks in the contents of these tanks lead to the shipper's complete loss, which may limit the use of the product for the transportation of hazardous liquids and therefore the growth of the market. Furthermore, manufacturers may expect difficulties due to the volatile prices of plastic resins, which are needed as raw materials to make flexitanks. However, the leakage or breakage of contents in these tanks results in total loss of shipper which may reduce product usage for transportation of hazardous liquids stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Flexitank Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2022 owing to the presence of China and India, the two major agricultural-producing and consuming countries. Furthermore, the growth of the regional market is facilitated by high production as well as the export of palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia. North America is expected to develop at a high CAGR throughout the projected period, owing to the consistent growth of the United States manufacturing industry. Furthermore, the existence of advantageous trade agreements such as NAFTA, which allow for unrestricted trade between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, is anticipated to promote market expansion.
