F-style Jugs Market

F-style Jugs Market Overview

The global F-style jugs market is estimated to exhibit growth at a CAGR of around 4% to 5% during the forecast period 2022-2032. Growing need for high-performance packaging solutions for storing and stacking liquid products for a longer duration is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the F-style jugs market.

F-style jugs are oblong rectangular wide shaped containers with a handle. These containers are commonly made of plastics and are lightweight, heavy-duty, and durable. The rectangular shape of F-style jugs makes them easy to stack, transport, and store along with providing wide space for promotional and advertising activities.

Also, the smallmouth and ergonomic handle attached to these jugs, providing them their unique F-style look, making F-style jugs more comfortable for customers to carry and pour content for the container, thereby, minimizing wastage. These containers are mostly made using materials such as polypropylene (PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) which offers an excellent blend of flexibility, strength, durability, zero corrosiveness, and chemical resistance. 

Being available in various sizes ranging from as small as 4 oz to as large as 5 gallons, F-style jugs are finding a wide range of applications across industries such as chemical, food & beverages, automotive, fertilizers, and others. These containers are increasingly being used for packaging and storing chemicals, petroleum products, edible oils, water, lubrication products, chemical solutions, and others. This is projected to facilitate the growth in the global F-style jugs market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading F-style Jugs Market Growth?

Demand for F-style jugs is surging at a rapid pace across the chemical industry. Rapid adoption of these containers for packaging and storing processes foods and liquid products such as edible oil, sauces, jam, purees, juices, and others is accelerating the sales across the food & beverage industry. Increasing customer demand for easy-to-use, stack, and store packaging products is catapulting the sales of F-style jugs across diverse industries.

Industry players are increasingly focusing on adopting robust packaging solutions to extend the shelf life and minimize product wastage while pouring activities. As F-style jugs fulfill these requirements along with providing additional benefits such as chemical resistance and low risk of leakage, demand for these containers is propelling in the market.

Over the past couple of years, a swift rise in adoption for sustainable and recyclable packaging solutions is being witnessed across diverse industries, owing to rising environmental concerns and implementation of stringent regulations in countries such as the U.S., China, India, the U.K., and others. As F-style jugs are reusable and are made of environment-friendly & recyclable material such as HDPE plastic, they are gaining huge popularity across the food & beverage and chemical industries. This is anticipated to elevate the demand for F-style jugs in the global market.

What are the Challenges Faced by the F-style Jugs Market?

Plastics such as high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and others take hundreds of years to decompose. Thus, governments in several countries are implementing several guidelines and regulations for declining the use of plastics for packaging. This is restraining the demand for F-style jugs in the global market.

In addition to this, high cost of these containers and increasing use of metal cans for lubrication and petroleum products is expected to hinder the sales of F-style jugs.

Why is Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Emerging as an Opportunistic F-style Jugs Market?

FMI states that Asia Pacific excluding Japan is estimated to account for the maximum revenue share in the global F-style jugs market from 2022 to 2032.

Rising customer inclination towards deep-fried food products such as potato chips, fries, snacks, patties, and others has resulted in augmenting the demand for edible oils such as sunflower oil, soybean oil, and groundnut oil among others.

Thus, key industry players are increasingly aiming at expanding their oil production capacity to cater to this growing demand. For instance, in 2022, Fortune Oil, an Indian edible oil-producing company announced its plan of investing US$ 59.5 Mn for acquiring small regional enterprises to expand its vegetable oil production capacity. As F-style jugs are extensively used for packaging edible oil in 2 liters, 5 liters, 10 liters, and 15 liters capacities, such developments are projected to bolster the sales in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan market.
