Report Overview

The Europe rigid HDPE IBC market is anticipated to grow due to the growing chemical industry which usesrigid HDPE drums for transportation and storage of chemicals for different grade.

Europe rigid HDPE IBC market was worth USD 1,398.8million in 2020, registering a CAGR of -1.8% during 2018-2020. The market is further expected to reach USD 1,935.8million by 2026 with a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period.Europe's rigid HDPE IBC market is being driven by the rapidly growing manufacturing sector, coupled with industrial expansions. Furthermore, rigid HDPE IBCs ensure safer travel for liquids due to their compact form and stiff structure, which is why rigid HDPE IBCs are commonly used for liquid transportation. These tanks also contain bottom-mounted valves that allow the contents to be removed without spilling.

Europe Rigid HDPE IBCOverview:

Rigid HDPE IBC is a reliable, reusable, strong, and functional container, both effective and chemically compatible. HDPE IBCs' practical and highly efficient engineering makes them ideal and competitive for a wide range of applications. IBCs made of high-density polyethylene are widely used in a variety of industries, sectors, and consumer markets. Rigid HDPE IBC is also used by wholesalers, dealers, retailers, bulk material handlers, and a variety of other commercial and individual operations.

Europe Rigid HDPE IBCForecast and Trend

Growth Drivers 

Saving on Costs and Reducing Waste

Rigid HDPE IBC container bottles are tough and durable because of HDPE (high-density polyethylene). It is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions while remaining lightweight. When companies use this kind of container, they can save money by using this reusable part. It also contributes to the long-term viability of the entire supply chain by reducing the amount of material that is regularly discarded.As compared to the cost of a new 270-gallon rigid HDPE IBC, which costs USD 200, the cost of a re-used 270-gallon rigid HDPE IBC ranges from USD 145, which is cheap and cost-effective. As a result, most end-users in the industry prefer to use re-usable IBCs.

In addition, these factors are also expected to make rigid HDPE IBC an eco-friendly packaging solution. HDPE IBC is available in a wide range of volume capacities, thus, offering customers a choice over the size of packaging. These IBC’s offer a convenient option for the storage and transportation of a wide range of products, especially in remote and hilly areas. These IBC also offer advantages such as stackability.The above-mentioned factors are driving the growth of the Europe rigid HDPE IBC market.Another advantage of using these containers is that they are ecological. They are made of materials that can eventually be recycled and sometimes even be made into new tanks. Numerous IBC makers offer tank recycling services which allow companies to call them and request that they remove IBC tanks that are no longer needed. Thus, the aforementioned are the key factors driving the growth of the Europe rigid HDPE IBC market.

Growing Food and Beverage Industry

Rigid HDPE IBC containers are designed to meet the international regulations for food and beverages, FSMA(Food Safety Modernization Act). The time, distance, stress, and pressure during transport do not affect the contents. These containers meet the requirements for food contact, ensuring contamination-free storage. The texture of the products is maintained by protecting them from external environmental factors. Several appealing qualities offered by rigid HDPE IBCs have attracted the players in the food and beverage industry to ship goods in these containers, thus driving the market growth for rigid HDPE IBCs in Europe.

The food & beverage industry is the EU's biggest manufacturing sector in terms of jobs and revenue. It is also an asset in trade with non-EU countries. The EU boasts beneficial trade surpluses in food and its food specialties are highly valued overseas. According to Eurostat, the Food &Beverage industry in Europe had a turnover of USD 1,433.95 billion in 2017. According to Eurostat, in the last 10 years, EU food and drink exports have doubled, reaching over EUR 90 Billion and contributing to a positive balance of almost EUR 30 Billion. The growing food and beverage industry in Europe, as well as increasing concern about food safety and shipping, have fueled the demand for Europe rigid HDPE IBC market.

Restraints

Cost Related to Sanitization for Reuse

Due to the absence of liner in the rigid HDPE IBC, the container itself has to be cleaned after use, as it is in primary contact with the product. It is paramount that rigid HDPE IBC's surfaces that come into contact with hazardous chemicals be sanitized before re-use, or they would damage the next product. It is quite expensive to sanitize IBCs. The procedure is done to prevent contamination during re-use, because if any of the procedures are broken, contamination of the next product filled into this container may be harmful to it. Sanitation costs for one rigid HDPE IBC vary from USD 7 to USD 12 per rigid HDPE IBC, depending on the content HDPE IBC kept.These high costs of sanitization hamper the growth of the Europe rigid HDPE IBC market.

Commodities that are chemically reactive or attack rigid HDPE IBC fitting materials should be scaled based on their incompatibility. Solid acids and bases (alkalis), organic solvents, oxidizers, alcohols, petroleum products, oils, and waste products are some possible examples of materials that might be suitable for reuse within the HDPE IBC. The reactivity between the cargo and the rigid HDPE IBC tank wall is highly influenced by the number of times the rigid HDPE IBC has been reused, as well as temperature and pressure factors. These factors hamper the growth of the Europe rigid HDPE IBC market.

Impact of COVID-19 in the Industry

Globally, the COVID-19 virus affected a wide range of aspects of the rigid HDPE IBC industry, including an unexpected halt to production and financial and manufacturing activities in a variety of industries. The eruption of COVID-19 has crippled the European economy. The government had to impose various rules and regulations, including complete lockdown and quarantine methodologies to fight against COVID-19, which had a massive impact on various business sectors. In their journey towards achieving the next normal, organizations will benefit from building their resilience and enabling agility in order to move forward. The Europe Rigid HDPE IBC market also witnessed a decrease in product demand from end-use industries. European Association of Chemical Distributors (FECC) is expecting that COVID-19 will guide companies to focus more on reinforcing their domestic supply chain rather than going international.
