DUBLIN, Dec 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Returnable Packaging Market by Product Type (Pallets, Crates, Intermediate Bulk Containers, Drums & Barrels, Bottles, Dunnage), Material (Plastic, Metal, Wood, Glass, Foam), End-use Industry, Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global returnable packaging market is projected to reach USD 51.22 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2018.

Returnable packaging is an environment-friendly and cost-effective alternative to one-way packaging products. This method is generally used by manufacturers/processors and their suppliers/customers in an organized supply chain with closely managed shipping loops. Returnable packaging is manufactured from durable materials such as plastics, wood, or metal and is designed to withstand rough handling of a typical logistics system.

In comparison to one-way packaging, returnable packaging offers numerous benefits in terms of economic benefits which include direct savings in packaging purchase and disposal cost; appealing aesthetics; and durability. Returnable packaging is widely used in the automotive, food & beverage, consumer durables, and healthcare industries.

In 2017, Europe accounted for the largest share of 44.0%, in terms of value, of the returnable packaging market. The growth of the market in this region can be attributed to the growing end-use industries, the shifting trend towards sustainable packaging, stringent regulations on packaging disposal, and the presence of key returnable packaging manufacturers in the region.

Increasing concerns about packaging disposal and the need to lower the environmental impact, strong demand for returnable packaging from end-use industries, and the need for sustainable & cost-effective packaging solutions are some of the major factors expected to drive the returnable packaging market. Rising demand from emerging economies and increasing R&D investments by the manufacturers offer growth opportunities to the market. However, varying environmental mandates across regions and an unfavorable cost-to-benefit ratio for small manufacturers act as a challenge in the growth of the returnable packaging market.

The studied market is segmented based on product type, material, end-use industry, and region. By product type, the returnable packaging market is segmented into pallets, crates, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), drums & barrels, bottles, dunnage, and others. Based on material, the market is segmented into plastic, metal, wood, glass, and foam. By end-use industry, the market is segmented into automotive, food & beverage, consumer durables, healthcare, and others.
