The flexitank market is expected to grow from US$ 753.6 million in 2022 to US$ 2,285.2 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 20.6.% from 2022 to 2028.
Flexitank is fundamentally an enormous-sized fluid container that is utilized for moving fluids from one place to another in a safe way. It is a liquid storage container made from a flexible material such as polyurethane. The number of layers of polyethylene is used to make flexitank. The external piece of the fluid container is covered with polypropylene. These layers contain a pump and valve, which make them waterproof and airproof. During the transportation of fluid items of large volume, flexitank is considered to be safe. Flexitanks are broadly used for the transportation of food-level items such as edible oil, natural product concentrates, refreshments, and non-dangerous compound transportation because of protection against pollution. As the sacks are dispensable, there is no cleaning cost when utilizing flexitanks.
MARKET DYNAMICS
Flexitanks are generally used for the transport of pharmaceutical liquids and food-grade liquid such as malts, consumable oil, and organic product concentrates refreshment. Several types of flexitanks are disposable, minimizing the associated cleaning costs of tank holders and barrels. This also reduces the risk of contamination. In addition, the time required for the installation and loading of flexitanks is less, which fuels the demand for flexitanks. Furthermore, flexibag disposal also increases the need for flexitanks. After the release of the flexibag, the linings and all auxiliary hardware is taken out from the holder and securely disposed or reused as concurred between the transporter and the recipient. Utilized flexibag material is not expected for reusing in flexibag manufacturing because of possible quality issues. The flexitank is cost-effective, eco-friendly, and lightweight, which is driving the flexitank market growth.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the overall flexitank market. The imposition of the lockdown temporarily discontinued various manufacturing activities, resulting in a decrease in supply, which substantially impacted the flexitank market. However, increased demand for pharmaceutical liquids across the globe cushioned the flexitank market.
Due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, disruptions in global supply chains hampered manufacturing activities in developing and developed countries such as China, India, Germany, and the US. As a result of such disruptions, cargo was backlogged at major container ports, travel restrictions led to a shortage of truck drivers to pick up containers, and ocean carriers canceled sailings. Further, the resulting shortage of components affected the manufacturing operations of major industries, including automotive, electronics, and consumer goods.
In 2021, the marketplace witnessed growth as governments of various countries announced the relaxation of several restrictions, including lockdowns. The manufacturers resumed their operations at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap. Many manufacturers expanded their production capacities to meet the rising consumer demand, which supported the recovery of the flexitank market.
