Bulk Bags – A heavy-gauge, reusable shipping solutions
Bulk bags have been used for a range of industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and other products. However, there is a sharp surge in demand for bulk bags due to the spurring rise in sectors, such as chemicals & fertilizers, food, construction, pharmaceuticals, mining, and others. Besides, rising numbers of businesses and manufacturing sectors add to the bulk bags market growth.
The bulk/ jumbo bags are usually in non-woven format with high tensile strength and weather resistance. They are specially developed to offer durability and convenience of carriage with safety, despite their capacity to carry mass quantity. The rising focus of producers and manufacturers on effective and highly protective solutions for international and domestic bulk bag shipments is a key driving force behind the increased market demand.
Additionally, substantial investments poured into the product development impact market growth positively. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global bulk bags market is expected to touch a valuation of approximately USD 4956.7 million by 2023, growing at a 6.80% CAGR during the forecast period.
The market calls for reusable, recyclable, and contamination-free packaging solutions to replace wood and cardboard. The need to prevent damage and contamination to FIBC loads, which customers stressed as a great need, encourages bulk bag manufacturers to develop new solutions in large part. These solutions can meet the demands of producers who require their cargo to arrive undamaged at its destination, whether transporting domestically or internationally.

COVID-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic hit the bulk bags market industry severely, causing huge revenue loss to end-use industries like food & beverages and construction. The lockdown halted the production of several key raw materials, which further posed many production challenges, resulting in spiking product prices and lowering the market demand. Manufacturers faced a range of problems, from obtaining raw materials required for the production and deliver end products to attract workers from quarantines.
However, in the non-container business, the bulk cargo grew strongly in 2020, especially for fertilizers. Distributors expanded fertilizer warehouses, where they could convert the bulk cargo into bags and load the bags into rail wagons. There was also a capacity upgrade in fertilizer production. Resultantly, the bulk bags market is estimated to witness robust market opportunities with steadily increasing demand.
Industry Trends:
Recent trends observed in the bulk bag market include 100% biodegradable and sustainable bulk bags designed to deliver strong, durable, and multi-use potential. Also, Brownfield BOPET and greenfield BOPET film line and CPP lines with a water-based oxygen barrier coating for food packaging to achieve oxygen barrier properties on BOPP and CPP films are trending in the market.
Other major industry trends include high awareness about the benefits of high tensile strength and weather resistance and the need to optimize the total cost of ownership (TCO) led by relentless competition and margin pressures. Also, increasing complex local, regional, and international connections that need a broad range of transport modes substantiate the market size.
