Corrugated Bulk Bins Market: Overview of Report Findings
Market Growth: The corrugated bulk bins market is expected to reach US$ 22.58 billion by 2031 from US$ 15.08 billion in 2023, recording a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. Corrugated bulk bins are bulk containers whose sides are made of multiple layers of materials, including an outer layer, an inside layer, and a middle layer. The middle layer of corrugated bulk bins is fluted in wave-shaped rigid arches to provide support and cushioning for heavy products placed in the bin. These bins are widely used to store and transport bulk quantities of food and beverages, industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals, construction and building materials, etc.
Continuous Growth of the Food & Beverages Industry: The food & beverages industry generates a huge demand for efficient and cost-effective packaging solutions. Corrugated bulk bins are collapsible containers, which makes storage applications more efficient. Per the US Department of Transportation’s Freight Analysis Framework – 2023, the freight volumes of cereal grains, seafood/meat, and milled grains transported to the US in 2023 were 1.19 million tons, 112,050 tons, and 156,863 tons, respectively.
The food & beverages industry often deals with large quantities of products that must be transported and stored efficiently. Corrugated bulk bins hold a significant volume of goods, making them ideal for mass transportation and storage. These containers are made from recyclable materials, which makes them an environment-friendly option compared to containers made from plastics. As the food & beverages industry faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices, the demand for recyclable storage and transportation products such as corrugated bulk bins is on the rise in this industry.
Rising Demand for Triple-Wall Corrugated Bulk Bins: Triple-wall corrugated bulk bins are made with three layers of corrugated cardboard. As a result, they offer superior strength, durability, and protection compared to single-wall or double-wall bins. Moreover, with such high structural integrity, these bins can withstand heavy loads and extreme handling conditions compared to other types of corrugated bulk bins.
Fast-moving consumer goods are subject to various stresses during long-distance transportation, where utilization of triple-wall bins is necessary to provide robustness to prevent damage. Triple-wall bins ensure safe and secure transportation of bulky and heavy components used or produced in the automotive and industrial sectors, reducing the risk of damage. Triple-wall corrugated bins also exhibit superior stacking strength, allowing for more efficient use of warehouse space. Thus, this type is also preferred in industries such as food & beverages, electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.
Geographical Insights: In 2023, Asia Pacific led the market with a substantial revenue share, followed by Europe and North America, respectively. Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
