Dangerous Goods Bag Market Report 2025

The dangerous goods bag market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.56 billion in 2024 to $2.81 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. Growth during the historic period was driven by the expansion of global hazardous materials trade, stricter regulatory compliance requirements, heightened awareness of environmental safety, increased demand for secure transportation, and a rise in hazardous material spill incidents.

The dangerous goods bag market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by a rising demand for eco-friendly packaging, greater adoption of recycled materials, expansion of industrial manufacturing sectors, increased government initiatives promoting sustainability, and growing preference for lightweight and durable packaging solutions. Key trends anticipated include technological advances in sustainable materials, development of smart packaging solutions, increased investment in research and development, innovations in recycling processes, and the adoption of digital tracking and monitoring technologies.

The rising transportation of hazardous materials is anticipated to drive the growth of the dangerous goods bag market. Hazardous materials are substances that pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological characteristics. This increase in transportation is largely driven by growing chemical demand as expanding industries require safe movement of chemical products across regions. Dangerous goods bags facilitate the secure transport of hazardous materials by providing compliant containment that minimizes risks of leaks or contamination. These bags enhance safety throughout logistics operations, protecting people, property, and the environment. For example, in December 2024, the Central Pollution Control Board of India reported that hazardous waste imports rose to 574,169 metric tonnes in 2022-23, up from 327,742 metric tonnes in 2021-22. Consequently, the rising transport of hazardous materials is fueling the dangerous goods bag market.

Leading companies in the dangerous goods bag market are focusing on sustainable packaging solutions like recycled containers to reduce environmental impact and meet stricter regulations. Recycled containers are made wholly or partly from recovered materials that are processed and reused, lowering waste and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials. For instance, in October 2023, Berry Global Group Inc., a US plastic packaging manufacturer, introduced 20- and 25-liter optimum containers made with 35% recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE). These containers have UN approval for transporting various hazardous liquids, offer enhanced chemical resistance, and comply with forthcoming recycled content regulations. The 20- and 25-liter containers provide a sustainable choice for the safe packaging and transport of dangerous goods while supporting circular economy initiatives.

In January 2025, International Paper Company, a US-based pulp and paper products firm, acquired DS Smith plc for $7.2 billion. This acquisition aims to bolster International Paper’s presence in the packaging sector by expanding its geographic reach and improving its renewable and recyclable packaging capabilities. DS Smith plc, based in the UK, specializes in sustainable packaging solutions, including manufacturing durable and compliant dangerous goods bags.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the mining sector, particularly in equipment procurement, export activity, and supply chain continuity. Higher duties on imported heavy machinery, drilling equipment, and specialized components have raised capital and operational costs for mining firms, delaying new project launches and limiting production efficiency. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs imposed by key trade partners have reduced export demand for U.S.-mined resources especially critical minerals like lithium, copper, and rare earth elements exacerbating revenue pressures. These dynamics are particularly challenging for mid-sized and specialty mining operators reliant on international markets. In response, the sector is increasingly investing in domestic equipment manufacturing partnerships, expanding recycling initiatives for strategic minerals, and advocating for trade exemptions to restore global competitiveness while ensuring long-term resource security.

A dangerous goods bag is a specially crafted, sturdy container designed to safely store and transport hazardous materials that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. Its main function is to prevent leaks, contamination, and exposure during handling and transport, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while protecting people and property.

The primary types of dangerous goods bags include single-use and reusable options. Single-use bags are disposable containers intended for the secure, one-time transport of hazardous materials, maintaining hygiene and regulatory standards. These bags are used to carry a variety of goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizing agents, radioactive substances, toxic and infectious materials, corrosives, and others. They find application across industries like aerospace, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics and transportation, construction, automotive, and food and beverage. Distribution channels include online stores, specialty shops, supermarkets or hypermarkets, and other retail outlets. Key end-users comprise manufacturers, distributors, retailers, government and regulatory bodies, and waste management firms.
