DRIVING FACTORS

Sector For Steel Drums Is Expected To Retain Significant Market Share Increase In The Demand For Chemicals

The primary packaging choice for transporting and storing hazardous or dangerous commodities is steel drums. Also, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, steel drums are the safest shipping containers (insurance rates for steel drum shipments are the lowest). The demand for industrial steel drums is anticipated to be driven by the increase in chemical and petroleum lubricant demand from a variety of end-user sectors as well as a considerable focus on enhancing supply chain capabilities. With a production of 9.8 MT as of October 2021, India was the second-largest producer of crude steel worldwide. The Ministry of Steel received USD 6.2 million from the government as part of the Union Budget 2022–2023 plan. As a result, it is anticipated that the market for industrial steel drums would be shaped by the rising need for crude steel.

Steel drums are utilised as packaging options for storing and transporting hazardous or dangerous materials in the chemical industry. The most secure shipping containers are steel drums. Owing to this, the chemical industry dominates the market for steel drums used for safe packaging solutions and is predicted to propel the market's expansion.

Wide Applications In Industry Fuel The Market Growth

Safe packaging options are required by the expanding petrochemical sector to safeguard its goods. The need is also anticipated to be driven by the expanding production of paints, dyes, and inks in new countries as well as the growing requirement for a secure supply chain and product transportation. The market for industrial drums is anticipated to see considerable development potential due to increased investment in expanding manufacturing machinery.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Fluctuating Prices Hinder the Market Growth

The market share growth of storage drums and barrels is being constrained by variable prices for the raw materials needed to manufacture them. A significant aspect that is anticipated to impede the expansion of the global market for steel drums is the accessibility of alternatives, such as plastic drums and containers because of their insulating and lightweight qualities. Fibre drums, which are another popular alternative since they are lighter and simpler to handle, have also slowed the market's expansion to some extent.

SCARIFIER DRUMS MARKET REGIONAL INSIGHTS

Asia Pacific Likely To See A High Growth Rate

Industrial drum usage is anticipated to rise in the Asia-Pacific region due to the industry's rapid development and the manufacturing sector's continued expansion into developing nations like China, India, and Indonesia. In the manufacture of fibre drums, China has had encouraging development. It has a commanding lead over nations like Malaysia and Singapore in terms of value. The growing need for sophisticated packaging options for goods by both small- and big-name businesses has resulted in fibre drums of higher quality. The expanding retail industry and the rising inclination for lightweight bulk containers like recyclable fibre drums are a few of the major factors influencing the market for fibre drums. The fact that fibre drums are recyclable is their key benefit. As a result, the Asia Pacific area is predicted to have a bright outlook for the market for fibre drums.
