Desiccant bags are used as dehumidifiers in enclosed environments across various industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, and others. The two most commonly-used types of desiccant bags are made using either clay or silica gel. Clay desiccant bags are made out of bentonite clay, which is a naturally-occurring porous material.
Thus, clay desiccant bags offer superior absorption properties at an economical price. These bags are chemically inert, non-corrosive, and attract water molecules. Clay desiccant bags absorb moisture in the packaging, which aids in the protection against moisture and thus slows down the degradation process. Attributing to their lower relative cost, these bags are employed for most industrial applications.
Moisture condensation poses a big problem during sea transits, and this can be combated by incorporating clay desiccant bags in shipping containers. Clay desiccant bags are an economical and effective solution that works for a wide range of temperatures and relative humidity for moisture absorption.
The demand for clay desiccant bags is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to their application in both, consumer as well as industrial uses. Smaller clay desiccant bags & sachets are used to protect consumer goods from moisture, while larger bags & sacks are employed in the shipping of industrial goods.
Up to 2 kg clay desiccant bags are required for keeping large shipping containers safe & dry during their movement across the supply chain, while 10-20 gm. sachets suffice for consumer products. Moreover, clay desiccant bags are also a vital constituent of warehouses and storage facilities, as their application reduces the impact of humidity on packaged products.
Also, the production of clay desiccant bags has a relatively lesser impact on the environment, as no harsh chemicals are used during production, and the key constitute, clay, is available naturally.
These factors are expected to remain the key drivers for the growth of the clay desiccant bag market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, leading manufacturers of clay desiccant bags are also providing humidity indicator cards along with conventional clay desiccant bags. These cards monitor relative humidity, and indicate the time to replace the clay inside the bag. This has made clay desiccant bags more convenient to use, and is expected to present growth prospects for the global market.
The outlook for clay desiccant bags seems to be fairly positive; however, these bags can be substituted with silica gel desiccant bags. Silica-based desiccant bags are also an effective means of controlling moisture. The availability of alternative products might hamper the demand for clay desiccant bags in the coming years.
In North America, the demand for clay desiccant bags is buttressed by the regulations laid by regulatory bodies for packaging. For instance, JEDEC, an organization associated with semiconductor engineering, has made it mandatory to use clay desiccant bags for packaging. This regulatory landscape is expected to create immense growth opportunities for the growth of the clay desiccant bag market in the region.
Europe and North America, cumulatively, are anticipated to account for a lion’s share in the clay desiccant bag market. Furthermore, the increasing manufacturing output of Asian economies will demand superior storage and transit solutions. This demand is expected to translate into the increased demand for clay desiccant bags, owing to their application in storage facilities and warehouses.
Some of the key players operating in the global clay desiccant bag market are Impak Corporation, Desiccare Inc., GeeJay Chemicals Ltd., Flow Dry Technology Inc., International Plastics, Clariant AG, and others.
