“Increasing Global Trade”
- A significant and accelerating trend in the global flexitank market is the surge in international trade of bulk liquids such as edible oils, wine, non-hazardous chemicals, and industrial fluids, which is driving the widespread adoption of flexitank-based transportation solutions
- For instance, companies such as Qingdao BLT Packing Industrial Co., Ltd. and Environmental Packaging Technologies, Inc. have expanded their global operations to support rising exports from Asia, Europe, and the U.S., offering high-capacity, cost-efficient flexitank systems for long-distance liquid logistics
- Flexitanks enable exporters to significantly reduce per-unit transport costs and packaging waste, while increasing container payloads—benefits that are particularly appealing in competitive global trade environments. For instance, SIA FLEXITANKS supports exporters across over 60 countries with flexible and customized solutions that align with global shipping needs
- The growing preference for containerized transport over ISO tanks or drums, due to faster loading times and lower repositioning costs, is further reinforcing the adoption of flexitanks among exporters of agricultural and industrial liquids. MY FLEXITANK and Rishi FIBC Solutions Pvt Ltd. are also investing in innovations to cater to high-volume global clients with specialized requirements
- This trend is fundamentally reshaping bulk liquid logistics by enabling faster, safer, and more sustainable international shipping. Consequently, key players such as HOYER GmbH are expanding their global supply chain capabilities, integrating advanced flexitank systems that meet evolving trade and environmental standards
- The demand for efficient, scalable, and eco-friendly bulk liquid transport is growing rapidly across sectors and geographies, as businesses respond to increased global trade flows and look for innovative packaging solutions that reduce costs and environmental impact
