Description

Report Overview

Steel drums, also known as steel barrels or metal drums, are cylindrical containers made from carbon steel or stainless steel, primarily used for the storage and transportation of liquids, chemicals, oils, and other industrial materials. These drums are highly durable, resistant to corrosion (especially when coated or made from stainless steel), and designed to withstand harsh handling and environmental conditions. They come in various sizes, typically ranging from 20 to 55 gallons, with standardized dimensions to ensure compatibility with global logistics systems. Steel drums are widely utilized in industries such as petroleum, chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and hazardous waste management due to their strength, reusability, and ability to meet stringent regulatory standards for safety and containment. Their production involves advanced manufacturing processes, including welding, rolling, and sealing, to ensure leak-proof performance. While plastic and fiber drums offer alternatives for certain applications, steel drums remain preferred for heavy-duty and high-value commodities where structural integrity and long-term storage are critical.

The global Steel Drums market size was estimated at USD 7752.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.94% during the forecast period.
