Global Flexitank Market: Type Insights

On the basis of type, the global flexitank market is segmented into Monolayer and Multilayer. Multilayer segment dominated the flexitank market and projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period 2019-2025 owing to their low cost and numerous benefits. These benefits are its sturdiness and strength, which are highly vital when flexitanks are transported through old containers.

Removal of intermediate bulk storage coupled with low handling and filling costs are projected to drive industry growth over the forecast period.

Global Flexitank Market: Loading Type Analysis

Based on the loading type, the flexitank market bifurcated into Bottom Loading and Top Loading. Bottom loading is the fastest-growing segment of the entire market. Bottom load/bottom discharge flexitanks require less labor cost and fewer work hours compared to top load configurations, due to this the demand for the bottom loading flexitanks is expected to increase during the forecast period. Earlier, top-loading flexitanks had high demand, especially in Europe, for food-grade liquids and non-hazardous chemicals/liquids transportation. But due to difficulties in loading and unloading process, bottom loading flexitanks projected to drive the market.
