On the contrary, the high risk of occupational hazard that is involved in the production of plastic rigid IBC is likely to threaten its market growth. Additionally, the lack of proper protection protocol in the transportation of chemicals can hinder the expansion of the Plastic Rigid IBC Market Growth.

Segmental Overview

The Plastic Rigid IBC Market Growth segment study is based on material, capacity, and end user.

By material, the market is segmented into low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), and others. The HDPE segment is expected to surge due to the extensive flexibility and cost–affordability, HDPE plastic rigid IBC is gaining high preference.

By capacity, the market is segmented into 500 to 1000 liters, up to 500 liters, 1500 to 2000 liters, 1000 to 1500 liters, and above 2000 liters. The 500 liters to 1000 liters capacity is likely to thrive at the highest CAGR over other segments during the evaluation period. The rise in demand for 500-1000 liters plastic rigid IBC across various verticals, such as, agrochemicals and food & beverages is likely to drive the segment growth.

By end-use, the market is segmented into petroleum & lubricants, industrial chemicals, food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, paints inks dyes, and others. The food & beverage segment is likely to direct the market. The demand for plastic rigid IBC across the food & beverage industry is rising. It is due to the rise in need for better storage and transportation of bulk food products.
