The global steel drum market has projected notable growth and is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Steel is the most durable material in the packaging container industries. The steel drums are the packaging container in cylindrical shape. Steel drums are used to store liquid, semi-solid, and powder things. Steel drums store the thing in its original form with the change in temperature, pressure, and humidity. They are made to resist heat and prevent any leakages. They are thermal shock resistant and do not need any maintenance during shipments. There are different types of designs and sizes of the steel drums available in the market. The steel drums are most feasible for transporting and storing chemicals, flammable materials due to their heat or flame-resistant feature. Steel drums are used for storing things in bulk or transporting. The steel drum is made with different materials like cold rolled steel, carbon steel with different capacities. The steel drums market is segmented on the basis of material, type, capacity, industry vertical, sales channel, and region.

Market Scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis

• The global packaging industry is adversely affected by the outbreak of pandemic.
• There is a drastic downfall in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The companies are facing problems as the travel is restricted as well as the trade. 
• As there is restriction on import-export, the need for the steel drums and the container boards has decreased, as they are used to transport in bulk and keep them safe.
• Most factories are closed, which has decreased the sales of the packaging materials. 
• The companies have stopped production due of less labor, and disruption in the supply of raw material.

Top Impacting Factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers, and Impact Analysis

The factors that drive the growth of the steel drums market are increase in the packaging industries, and an increase in the demand for the temperature resistance, cost-effective packaging solutions.
