Flexitank Market by Type (Monolayer and Multilayer), Loading Type (Bottom Loading and Top Loading), Application (Food-Grade Liquids, Non-Hazardous Chemicals/Liquids, and Pharmaceutical Liquids), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The flexitank market is projected to reach USD 912 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 20.0%. Growth in the global trade of food-grade liquids, non-hazardous chemicals, and pharmaceutical liquids is the major driver for the flexitanks market. Also, its competitive benefits over other traditional substitutes drive the flexitank market.
The multilayer segment dominates the flexitanks market and is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment.
The multilayer type segment accounted for the largest share and expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment has high-performance benefits over the monolayer segment. These benefits are its durability and strength which are highly required when flexitanks are transported throough old containers. Also, flexitanks have multiple layers which protect the cargo from getting contaminated. Its oxygen and moisture barrier properties are vital for the transportation of food-grade liquids. These benefits boost the flexitank market.
The food-grade liquids application segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Food grade liquids such as juice, juice concentrates, wine, animal oils, edible oils, glucose, glycerin, jam, malt extract, sauces, sorbitol, vinegar, water, and sugar syrup are traded in bulk quantities globally. These liquids are traded across all the regions. For example, edible oils and apple juice are exported majorly from the APAC region. Fruit juice, juice concentrate, and wine are exported from North America, South America, and Europe. Thus, flexitank finds global demand in the food-grade liquid application.
APAC is projected to be the largest market, during the forecast period.
APAC has the largest populous countries such as China and India. China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and India are the major consumer markets for flexitanks. China, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, and New Zealand are among the top 15 exporters of wine. The presence of this huge wine exporting industry across the region is favorable for the demand for flexitanks. Also, in palm oil exports, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand lead the market with largest exports. Indonesia and Malaysia are the 1st- and 2nd-largest palm oil exporting countries across the globe. Across APAC, the majority of the flexitank demand is driven by food-grade liquids exports.
