Exposure to the bag’s inner substance in the environment may cause respiratory problems for many. Hence, they need to implement a strict protocol for their disposal. Such factors can hamper market growth.
The hike in machinery setup costs may also restrict the market growth for mini desiccant bags. The machinery setup not only has a high price settlement but also requires frequent maintenance from time to time.
Opportunities
The market for desiccant bags is expected to have considerable significance due to the rise in demand from the food industries. Various food brand owners that employ innovative packaging require these bags to keep the food safe from dirt and moisture. The broad preference from the food industries creates an ample opportunity for the desiccant bags market to upscale. The market is expected to expand further over the coming years as many people tend to shift towards the rapid consumption of packaged foods, which will provide immense opportunity to the desiccant bags market over the coming years.
Additionally, desiccant bags are widely used in military applications to prevent the equipment from corrosion and degradation through moisture. These bags are also used to combat odor. The wide usage of military-based aspects is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the market.
Challenges
Silica gel is the commonly used component of the desiccant bag to absorb moisture. However, the wide usage of silica gel may create challenges for the mini desiccant bags market. The specific type of silica gel contains cobalt-chloride in its composition, which can be detrimental to the environment and is said to have a cancerous effect. Despite their wide usage in public places, they often cause problems like skin and eye irritation when the bag’s inner materials are exposed or come in contact with people. Such factors may provide a challenging ground for the desiccant bags market.
Market Highlights
Based on Type, the silica gel segment held the largest market share in 2021 and is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, with a CAGR of 4.6%. This significant growth can be attributed to the extensive usage of silica gels across various industries, including electronics, packaging, and pharmaceuticals.
Based on an end-user or Application, the food industry held the dominant market position with 34.6 % of the desiccant bags market share. It is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. The food industries seek high demand for desiccant bags to prevent their packages from moisture. Such attributive factor leads to upscale in market growth.
Regional Snapshots
Based on region, the Asia Pacific segment dominated the market in 2021 with more than 30% of the market share. This can be attributed to the increase in demand in volume and value for desiccant bags across various industries to increase the shelf-life and quality of the product. Apart from that, the APAC regions have a large consumer base for processed and packaged foods, which increases the market value and demand for mini desiccant bags across such regions.
