Description

Global Drums

Global demand for drums is projected to increase 3.3% annually to $13.5 billion in 2026. As fairly well-established products, drum demand will be driven by the increasing output of the manufacturing markets in which they are most commonly used - chemicals and pharmaceuticals, which accounted for 55% of global drum use in 2021, and food and beverage (21%).

Steel Drums Remain Most Used Type; Plastic & Fibre Drums Find Opportunities
    Steel drums will remain the most prevalent type due to their ability to withstand structural damage that can be caused by the solvents and solvent-based substances packaged in them. However, plastic and fibre drums will continue to find usage globally:

  • Plastic drums are projected to retain their market presence, in part due to expanded use of refurbishment and reconditioning services.
  • Fibre drums, whose share of the global market has declined in recent decades, are expected to benefit the increased use of film liners that are designed to extend the drums' functional lives and from their lower cost.
All Drum Types Offer Some Level of Sustainability

Although not as heavily scrutinized as consumer packaging, concerns over sustainability exist for bulk packaging, and packaging types that incorporate sustainable features can encourage their use. In the case of drums, steel, plastic, and fibre types all feature characteristics associated with sustainability:
  • Steel drums can be reused extensively; reconditioned examples can offer substantial cost savings and source reduction benefits.
  • Plastic drums can also be reused, and therefore offer some of the same advantages as steel drums. Moreover, reusable plastic drums do not face nearly the same level of environmental scrutiny as single-use plastic packaging products.
  • Fibre drums, which are made from paperboard, can be made from recycled raw materials and recycled into such raw materials.
Study Description

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $11.5 billion global drums industry. It presents historical demand data (2011, 2016 and 2021) and forecasts (2026 and 2031) by material (steel, plastic, fibre), and market (chemicals and pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, agricultural products, plastic/rubber/fiber products, durable goods, other). The study also evaluates discusses leading suppliers including Armando Alvarez, Greif, Mauser Packaging Solutions, Nampak, and SCHÜTZ.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
