The global industrial packaging market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of nearly 4.8% during the forecast period. Significant application in end-user industries and rising international trade are primarily driving the market growth. Industrial packaging has a potential application across industries for protection, shipping, and storing a comprehensive range of products. Normally, it is employed at the manufacturing site, after production. However, industrial packaging products can be utilized at any stage of the supply chain. This kind of packaging is normally utilized for sensitive products and products that are dependent heavily on stability. In addition, it is used for bulky or hazardous products or for components that are sensitive to each other.

Industrial packaging is normally used by the highly sensitive equipment manufacturers, automotive industry, machinery manufacturers, technology industry, and others that need the protection of their products from everything ranging from moisture to vibrations. Protection is the major objective of properly designed packaging for industrial applications. Packaging which is designed for protection of industrial goods can ensure products’ safety during shipping and enables to preserve the product during long storage duration. It offers hermetically sealed protection against moisture, contaminants, and more. A comprehensive range of customizations is available for the protection of products that comprise environmental-friendly options. Some customizable options comprise dunnage bags, plastic pallets, covers, pouches, and more.

Industrial packaging materials include wood, stainless steel, corrugated cardboard, and polypropylene. Wood include wooden boxes, derails board, wood board, plywood, skids, and more. Combination of materials is used for packaging of industrial products to ensure secure, safe storage and shipping of the products.  Generally, a combination of materials is applied to work together to offer superior results. For instance, corrugated cardboard combined with plastic forms or wood blocks combined with stainless sheets. Determining the combination of materials rely on the product. Industrial packaging meets the need for sturdy packaging which has major importance in any production site. Therefore, industrial packaging plays a vital role in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, automotive, and other manufacturing industries.

Market Segmentation

The global industrial packaging market is segmented into product, material, and end-user vertical. Based on the product, the market is classified into Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), drums, sacks, pails, crates, and others. Based on material, the market is classified into plastic, metal, wood, paperboard, and others. Based on end-user vertical, the market is classified into food and beverage, chemical and pharmaceutical, building and construction, automotive, oil and gas, and others.

Industrial Packaging Finds Significant Application in Pharmaceutical Packaging

Growing pharmaceutical industry is significantly contributing to the increasing demand for industrial packaging products. The pharmaceutical industry is witnessing enormous growth across the globe owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic and infectious diseases. North America is the major producer of pharmaceuticals. As per the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), 65.2% of sales of new medicines introduced between 2013-2018 were on the US market than 17.7% on the European market. In 2017, the US spent nearly $55.8 billion in pharmaceutical R&D, which is the largest compared to other regions.

This is expected to accelerate the demand for industrial packaging products in pharmaceutical products. IBCs are being significantly used for liquids and particulates (such as powders, granulates, and resins), products that after undergo filling into smaller packaging or will be a component or an ingredient in a manufacturing process. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, IBCs are extensively used for storage and transportation. The growing in-container applications, blending vessels is further encouraging the demand for IBCs.

Global Industrial Packaging Market Share by End-User Vertical, 2019 (%)

Regional Outlook

Geographically, in 2019, Asia-Pacific is estimated to hold a potential share in the market. The significant production base of chemicals, pharmaceutical, and food and beverages are the major factors encouraging the demand for industrial packaging in the region. Foreign companies are expanding their production facilities in this region coupled with the availability of low cost of labor and availability of raw material. Increasing FDI approval is also supporting the entrance of pharmaceutical firms in the region. This results in the rising production across various sectors in the region, which, in turn, will accelerate the adoption of industrial packaging for protection of products later production from moisture exposure and protection against contaminants.
