Intermediate Bulk Container Market – Market Dynamics
Key Drivers

The rise in containerization is notably driving the intermediate bulk container market growth. Intermodal containers are used for intermodal freight transportation, which is referred to as containerization. Numerous factors, including the growth of global trade and the widespread use of containerization in both inland and sea transportation, can be attributed to the rise in the number of containers.

Furthermore, the significant rise in port traffic is a key factor in containerization. For example, India witnessed a growth of over 7.3% in container port traffic during 2022-23. Moreover, the growing demand for intermodal freight transport contributes to the rapid need for containerization. Hence, the growing demand for intermodal freight transport will increase the need for containerization and is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Major Trends

The revival in demand for material handling containers is an emerging trend shaping the intermediate bulk container market growth. The expansion of manufacturing activities for equipment parts, components, and durable metal products in the heavy machinery and automobile industry is propelling the demand for innovative packaging solutions in warehouses and distribution centers.

Furthermore, these solutions are important for efficient handling, storage, and distribution purposes. Various types of material handling containers, such as heavy-duty and rigid containers, attached lid containers, stackable containers, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), are utilized by different industries. Hence, the growth of these industries and the need for effective packaging solutions will drive the IBC market's growth during the projected period.

Significant Challenges

The volatility of raw material prices is a major challenge impeding the intermediate bulk container market growth. Material handling containers can be manufactured using various raw materials, including stainless steel, plastics, wood, and corrugated fiberboard. However, the prices of these raw materials are subject to fluctuation due to imbalances in their demand and supply. These price changes add volatility to the market, can raise production costs, and can eventually lower suppliers' profit margins. Hence these factors are expected to restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.
