Sandbags are used since ancient times to prevent flood or reduce the damage caused by the flood water. Sandbags are used to fill in the lags created in the permanent protection system. The need of the sandbags arises to mitigate the risk associated with flowing water. Moreover, they are cheap and are easy to use. Sandbags does not require the end user to have some technical know-how which is why they are being increasingly preferred.
Sandbags are also during emergencies when the rivers levels threaten to overflow their banks, or when a levee or dike is broken. They may also be used in non-emergency situations as a base for new levees or other water-control structures. After their usage, dry sandbags can be stored for further use in the near future. Moreover, sandbags have their applicability across various verticals such as they used by the military forces for trenches and bunkers and for the shielding of glass windows in war zones which is further expected to spur the demand of the global sandbags market.
The global sandbags market is mainly driven by the need from the water hit regions where they are extensively used.
