Berry Global, Greif, and Sealed Air Lead the Competitive Landscape in IBC Liners


Dublin, Sept. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Intermediate Bulk Container Liner Market Size, Market Share, Application Analysis, Regional Outlook, Growth Trends, Key Players, Competitive Strategies and Forecasts, 2023 to 2031" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global intermediate bulk container (IBC) liner market is poised for substantial growth, with a projected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031.

IBC liners, specialized packaging solutions designed to safeguard and transport bulk liquids and powders within IBCs, play a pivotal role in industries such as food and beverages, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture by ensuring product integrity and safety.

Key Drivers of Market Growth

The primary driver propelling the IBC liner market is the escalating demand for efficient and hygienic bulk packaging solutions. IBC liners provide a reliable barrier between the product and the IBC, shielding it from contamination, moisture, and external environmental factors.

These liners are particularly valuable for transporting food-grade and pharmaceutical products, ensuring the quality and safety of the materials contained within. Moreover, IBC liners are easy to install and remove, reducing the risk of cross-contamination and simplifying the cleaning process, ultimately improving operational efficiency for end-users.

Stringent regulations pertaining to product safety and quality standards are also fueling the demand for IBC liners. Various industries, such as food and pharmaceuticals, are subject to strict regulatory requirements to ensure the integrity and safety of their products.

IBC liners act as a compliance solution by providing a reliable and traceable packaging system, which helps companies meet regulatory standards. Additionally, IBC liners are often designed to be compatible with specific products, ensuring the suitability of the liner for the contained material and mitigating potential risks.

Focus on Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

The growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility is driving the demand for IBC liners. These liners can be manufactured from recyclable materials, contributing to waste reduction and promoting a circular economy. By reducing the need for single-use packaging, IBC liners help companies minimize their environmental footprint and align with sustainability goals.

Challenges in Compatibility and Customization

One significant restraint in the IBC liner market is the limited compatibility and customization options available for various types of IBCs. IBCs come in different sizes, shapes, and materials, and each requires a liner that fits perfectly and ensures optimal performance. However, finding liners that are compatible with specific IBCs can be challenging, especially when dealing with unique or custom-designed containers. The lack of standardized liner sizes and shapes restricts the availability of suitable options, leading to a limited range of choices for end-users.

The absence of customization options for IBC liners further exacerbates this restraint. Many companies prefer customized liners that meet their unique needs or accommodate specific product characteristics. However, the availability of customization options is limited in the market, making it difficult to obtain liners tailored to specific requirements such as size, shape, or material compatibility.

Market Segmentation

The IBC liner market can be segmented based on capacity, material type/content type, filling technology, and end-users. In terms of capacity, it can be categorized as up to 1,000 liters, 1,000 to 1,500 liters, and above 1,500 liters. Material type/content type includes options like Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA), Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol (EVOH), Aluminum Foil, and others, catering to both powder & granules and liquid segments. Filling technology segments include aseptic and non-aseptic, while end-users span industries such as food and beverages, chemicals, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, paints, inks and dyes, and petroleum lubricant industries.

Regional Insights

North America dominated the IBC liner market in 2022, thanks to its well-established industries, advanced logistics infrastructure, and increasing demand for efficient bulk packaging solutions. North America's robust manufacturing sector and the presence of key players in the IBC liner market contribute significantly to revenue generation. In terms of the highest CAGR, the Asia Pacific region exhibits promising growth potential during the forecast period, driven by rapid industrialization, population growth, and a focus on sustainability.
