Global Desiccant Bag Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Desiccant bags are the flexible small pouches that are filled with the desiccant material. Desiccant bags are also called as moisture absorber bags. The desiccant bags absorb moisture in the packaging of the products which require to be protected from moisture which can cause corrosion and degradation. Desiccant bags maintain quality and shelf life of the packaged products. The desiccant material is filled in the paper bag or sachet and after absorption of moisture the desiccant turns into gel. Desiccant bags are used in various applications such as chemical, food and beverages, and pharmaceutical, etc.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Desiccant Bag market finds that the global Desiccant Bag market reached a value of USD 332.21 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 450.83 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.22% during the forecast period.

Upstream and downstream interactions will lead to disruption of business

The epidemic will have a short-term impact on desiccant bag industry, but it is relatively limited. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the production of raw materials and equipment procurement and transportation supply are difficult to be in place, and upstream enterprises affect the work schedule of downstream enterprises. Equipment manufacturing and product manufacturing enterprises in desiccant bag industry are affected to different degrees, and the production and delivery work may be delayed to some extent. Meanwhile, if it fails to meet the customer's delivery time requirements according to the contract, it may lead to the customer looking for another enterprise and lose business.

Affect the normal operation of the industry

The impact of COVID-19 on the desiccant bag industry will involve all major links and all entities in the industry chain. The company's management efficiency has declined, commuting has been severely hindered, production plans have been severely hindered, network expansion has been delayed, marketing has been delayed, brand adjustments have been forced, market sales have declined, and company and employee revenue have declined. The government has also put forward higher requirements for the production and operation of enterprises. Although various industries around the world are gradually resuming work, production and demand will not pick up rapidly and substantially, and will require a certain recovery period.

Increasing demand

Rising urbanization, modernization, and globalization are driving the growth in the desiccant bag market value. Growing product innovations by the beverages manufacturing industry in terms of taste, texture, color, and other aspects, surging awareness about the benefits of environmentally friendly packaging solutions, rising integration of humidity indicator cards and surging development in flexible packaging solutions will further induce growth in the desiccant bag market value. Surging research and development proficiencies, growing focus of the manufacturers on minimize the production cost without compromising with the quality, surging application of desiccant bags by the storage facilities and warehouses, growing technological advancements in the packaging equipment and technology to accommodate a diversified range of products, increased proliferation of e-commerce industry and rising number of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores are some other desiccant bag market growth determinants.

Limitation of desiccant bags

Despite the positive outlook, there are various factors that might hinder the growth of the global desiccant bags market. The desiccant bags if opened, pose the risk of dust exposure, which is known to cause nasal and throat irritation among people. In addition, a strict protocol must be followed for the disposal of moisture controller sachets, as exposure to the absorbed moisture in the atmosphere might cause respiratory problems and diseases. Therefore, it is absolutely critical that desiccant bag manufacturers ensure proper labeling in the form of hazard warnings and instructions.

Region Overview:

In global comparison, a significant portion of the revenue was generated in North America (30.05% in 2022).

Company Overview:

Uline is one of the major players operating in the Desiccant Bag market, holding a share of 9.58% in 2022.

Uline

Uline is a privately held American company which offers shipping and other business supplies. Uline was founded in 1980 by Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein. It has more than 7,000 employees and is headquartered in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin.

Tropack Packmittel

As a leading desiccant manufacturer, Tropack Packmittel offers a wide range of desiccant bags with highly active desiccants, as well as genuine product innovations, for industry and trade. Tropack Packmittel uses the new TROPApuck ® (i) to unlock innovative and economic applications, particularly for the pharmaceuticals industry.

Segmentation Overview:

As for product types, the Silica Gel Desiccant Bag segment held the largest market share in 2022.

Silica Gel Desiccant Bag

On the basis of desiccant material type, the desiccant bags are filled with different desiccant materials such as Silica gel, Calcium oxide, and Calcium sulphate. Silica gel desiccant bag is one of the most widely used environmentally friendly desiccants, which is transparent or milky white granular solid. Silica gel desiccant has an open-pore structure and strong adsorption force, which can adsorb various substances. Silica gel desiccant bag has strong hygroscopicity, known as silica gel desiccant air dryer, also known as silica gel desiccant dehumidifier. Silica gel desiccant adsorbs water vapor or other organic matter in the medium during use, adsorption capacity decreases, so the silica gel desiccant pack needs to be stored in a dry environment, but the silica gel can be regenerated and reused. Silica gel desiccant bags should avoid rain, moisture and sunlight during transportation.

Calcium Oxide Desiccant Bag

Calcium oxide is calcinated or re-calcinated lime having a moisture adsorptive capacity of not less than 28.5% by weight. The distinguishing feature of calcium oxide (also known as quicklime) is that it will absorb a much greater amount of water vapor at a very low relative humidity than other materials. It is most effective where a low critical relative humidity is necessary, and where there is a high concentration of water vapor present. Calcium oxide removes water from a package very slowly, often taking days to reach its maximum capacity. As calcium oxide absorbs moisture, it swells. Proper desiccant packaging is required for effective use. For these reasons, its use has been limited to primarily the packaging of dehydrated foods.

Calcium Sulphate Desiccant Bag

Calcium sulfate (better known commercially as DrieriteT) is created by the controlled dehydration of gypsum. It is a general-purpose desiccant geared mainly toward laboratory use. It is chemically stable, non-disintegrating, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and does not release its adsorbed water easily when exposed to higher ambient temperatures. The low cost of calcium sulfate must be weighed against its equally low adsorptive capacity; it adsorbs only up to 10% of its weight in water vapor. Calcium sulfate also has regeneration characteristics that tend to limit its useful life.

Clay Desiccant Bag

Clay Desiccant Bags are made of an aluminosilicate clay compound which is a natural mineral and is more economical than silica gel. These desiccant bags, containing activated clay, provide superior humidity control in sealed containers by absorbing moisture. Clay Desiccant Bags to dry out moisture and properly maintain the goods during transport, handling and storage.
