Bulk Drums: Industry Definition and Segmentation

A drum or a barrel is a cylindrical transportation container used to store and carry goods for the delivery of large amounts of freight. They are used to transport and hold a wide range of goods like liquids and powders and can be composed of steel, thick paperboard, or plastic. The Bulk Drums industry report comprises segments by type (Steel, Plastic, and Fiber), end-user (Chemical, Food and Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Paints, Inks and Dyes, and Agrochemicals) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and Latin America).

The Asia Pacific Region is Driving the Growth of the Industry

The Asia Pacific holds the largest share in the industry due to the rising industrial spending. Due to several variables, such as the availability of inexpensive land and labour, the region also fosters the introduction of small and medium-sized businesses. Furthermore, China, India, and Indonesia are among the growing economies where global firms continue to move their production sites, further driving the market's development. Also, India and China are renowned for large-scale palm-oil exports, which are likely to expand the industry.

The industry is being aided by the rising demand for the packaging of several goods from various industries. The properties of industrial bulk packaging materials, like increased material storage capacity, further the market's expansion.  Industrial barrels increase operational efficiency and effectiveness when transporting vast quantities of liquid commodities, such as chemicals, wines, fruit juices, and other non-hazardous items, at a low cost, driving the industry forward. Steel drums have outstanding mechanical qualities, such as high strength, good protective properties, gas barrier properties, and processing performance. They can be rolled into various thicknesses of the sheet, foil, sheet stamping, rolling, stretching, and welding of multiple forms and sizes of packing containers boosting demand. There is a growing preference for plastic-based packaging items such as pails and drums over metal-based products as it aids in achieving economies of scale. Furthermore, the market is witnessing increased growth because of its advantageous features such as lightweight, dependability, and durability.

Category Management Studies

Various types of drums are used for the transportation of many goods. Plastic drums are made with injection blow moulding technique and can have a separate cover or a welded type of top with the bungholes moulded in. Metal drums are constructed from cold-rolled steel sheets welded into lengthy pipe-like sections and then stamped into drum bodies. A seam is rolled into the bottom of the drum, or both the bottom and top. The steel drums feature thicker metal or plastic rolling hoops or rings to reinforce them. The fibre drums are typically protected with a urethane or plastic covering. At the ends, they feature steel reinforcing rims.

Growing Developments in the Product, Further Boosting the Procurement of Bulk Drums

The market is being propelled by the growing use of flexible intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). Continuous product development, primarily targeted at boosting effectiveness resulting from material capabilities, characterises the worldwide packaging industry. Material modifications are being implemented by manufacturers, resulting in economic and functional gains. RFID technology has shown to be a cost-effective cost-cutting solution for consumers, manufacturers, and suppliers, which is augmenting its demand in the sector. Also, cross-border commerce and logistics are projected to create market opportunities for the players.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
