OREANDA-NEWS. The global flexitanks market is expected to reach $1.49 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing commodity export, particularly in Asia Pacific, is expected to foster flexitanks demand over the forecast period. Cost-effective and efficient nature of flexitanks has increased product popularity among the end-users. Flexitanks can carry more amount of liquid in a standard container than the ISO tanks or drums used for bulk transport traditionally.

Single trip was the leading product segment and accounted for over 90% of total market volume in 2015. Single trip flexitanks are very much cost-effective compared to multi-trip flexitanks, as they eliminate cleaning and repositioning costs incurred. Green logistic practices incorporated by most of the flexitank manufacturers and logistics providers ensure proper disposal of used flexitanks without causing any environmental ill-effect.

Virtually, flexitanks can be utilized for any liquid and semi-solid food material. This has helped higher flexitank penetration in the foodstuffs application segment. Higher operational benefits and cost-effectiveness have made flexitanks an attractive alternative.

China and South East Asian countries have become the prominent manufacturing hubs for key manufacturers in the world. Huge foodstuffs & chemicals export from Asia Pacific & North America is expected to push flexitanks demand to greater heights over the forecast period.
