Rigid Bulk Packaging NEW US industry forecasts for 2017 & 2022

This study examines the US market for rigid bulk packaging. Historical data (2007, 2012, and 2017) and forecasts for 2017 and 2022 are presented for drums, pails, material handling containers, bulk boxes, and rigid intermediate bulk containers (RIBCs). Markets for these products include chemicals and pharmaceuticals; food and beverage; plastic, rubber, and fiber products; petroleum and lubricants; agricultural and horticultural products; durable goods; and other (e.g., hazardous waste storage and handling). In many instances, rigid bulk packaging types and markets are further delineated. Historical data and forecasts on the consumption of major rigid bulk packaging raw materials (plastic, steel, and paperboard) are also presented. Excluded from this study are pallets and wood containers, and corrugated and solid fiberboard containers other than bulk boxes and corrugated RIBCs. The study also excludes cans, bottles, jars, and tubs used for the packaging of bulk sizes of foods and other consumer goods. Unless otherwise noted, all figures represent either shipments or demand for rigid bulk packaging in units or dollars. The term “shipment” includes production from all US manufacturing establishments that is then shipped to both US and foreign markets. “Demand” (or sales or apparent consumption) is defined as all shipments from US plants, plus imports, minus exports.

In addition, the key strategic and competitive variables affecting the US rigid bulk packaging industry are discussed, major players are identified and profiled, and US market share is presented. The entire study is framed within the context of overall economic conditions as well as developments and technologies affecting the rigid bulk packaging industry and its end users.
