Global Folding IBC Market to reach US$ 1,471.2 million by 2033, Expected to rise at a 6.3% CAGR | Future Market Insights, Inc.

Advancements in technology are driving the growing popularity of folding Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) in the market. The integration of sensors and the increasing demand for smart containers are expected to rise in the near future.


NEWARK, DEL, Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The folding IBC market is forecast to reach US$ 793.6 billion in 2023 and US$ 1,471.2 billion in 2033. A 6.3% growth rate is expected between 2023 and 2033. Industry sectors such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage can all be attributed to this growth.

The performance and durability of folding IBC containers is likely to improve as materials, designs, and manufacturing processes improve. As a result, safety features can be enhanced, load capacity can be increased, and various products are more compatible.

Worker safety can be improved by improving the ergonomics of folding IBCs. A better wheel or caster might be incorporated, along with ergonomic handles and lifting aids. Rapid prototyping and design iteration can be achieved using 3D printing technology, allowing for quick and cost-effective development of custom solutions.

Technology such as virtual reality and augmented reality can assist with training and maintenance. The use of these technologies can streamline maintenance processes, as well as train workers to handle IBCs more efficiently. Tracking, scheduling, and inventory management can be simplified through integration with supply chain management systems. Supply chains can be improved by this process in terms of efficiency and responsiveness.

Folding IBCs can be handled easier, reduced shipping cost, and can last longer if they are made of lightweight, durable materials. Injection molding and rotational molding are examples of advanced manufacturing processes that can reduce production costs so folding IBCs are more accessible to a broader range of industries. Innovative technologies make folding IBCs easier to assemble and disassemble, reducing labor costs and improving usability. With innovative folding mechanisms, such as hinged or collapsible sidewalls, IBCs will be more attractive to businesses with limited storage space.
