Key Business Dynamics

Shift toward Green Products in Vietnam to Fuel Plastic Jerry Can Demand

Vietnam is expected to showcase a CAGR of 3.6% in the plastic jerry can business from 2023 to 2033. Vietnam's plastic jerry can business has been expanding gradually. Urbanization, a growing middle class with greater spending power, and rising demand from a variety of sectors are driving this expansion.

The plastic jerry can space in Vietnam is mainly dominated by several domestic and foreign businesses. As they are established and have affordable production costs, local producers often control this space.

Plastic jerry cans are sold through several channels, such as stores, wholesalers, and direct sales to businesses. Furthermore, certain businesses could export their goods to nearby nations. There is fierce competition among the corporations as they compete for share. Multiple variables, including material quality, design elements, and brand reputation, affect pricing.

The growing awareness of the effects plastic products have on the environment is a rising trend in the Vietnam plastic jerry can space. As a result, there is an increasing need for environmentally suitable substitutes or recycling programs in the country.

2018 to 2022 Vietnam Plastic Jerry Can Industry Analysis Vs. 2023 to 2033

The plastic jerry can business recorded a CAGR of 2.3% during the historical period. It reached a value of USD 104.5 million in 2022 from USD 95.5 million in 2018.

The rise of businesses that require convenient, safer, and quality rigid packaging solutions for use and transportation purposes has resulted in the high demand for plastic jerry cans in Vietnam. The chemical sector encompasses paints and industrial coatings. It is the key end-user of jerry cans as manufacturers require safer, convenient, easy-to-carry, and chemically inert packaging solutions.

Plastic jerry cans are generally lightweight and have good resistance against deformation. Food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors have recently adopted HDPE and PET-based jerry cans as they are chemically inert and offer safety and convenience.

The consumer base in Vietnam is sensitive to the cost of the products they prefer. Plastic jerry cans are inexpensive compared to alternate metal jerry cans, providing an advantage in this country. The weight and vulnerability to deform further can reduce the sales of metal jerry cans, and this will create an added advantage for the plastic jerry can business.

As the current trend indicates, both commercial and residential use has shown a growth in the preference for plastic jerry cans, and the trend is expected to continue through 2033. Consumers are concerned about the leftover products at the end of use, especially chemicals, food, and beverages.

Such products often have a limited shelf life. This trend has led to the adoption of small jerry cans and is expected to create significant growth opportunities in the forecast period.

Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges in Vietnam Plastic Jerry Can Space

Attributes	Key Factors
Latest Trends	Plastic jerry cans are available in food-grade plastic and built-in taps. This innovation has generated multiple advantages for end-users, such as providing a reliable hydration solution and adaptable tool for food preparation both indoors and outdoors. The incorporation of taps in jerry cans allows for controlled and spill-free dispensing. Jerry cans with taps provide better convenience to this situation and are set to be a possible solution to traveling and day-by-day usage.
Challenges	Chemical transfer between packaging and products is a serious issue that will contaminate the products and reduce the strength and safety of the packaging. The food and beverage sector is a leading business-facing concern due to the chemical transfer from packaging. A possible solution to this is the adoption of inert material coating in the inner walls of the plastic jerry can, and this will prevent the possible contamination.
Growth Drivers	Consumers require better and more convenient containers for their outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing, boating, and other recreational pursuits. Plastic jerry cans are lightweight, durable, and have safety advantages, offering a better choice for end-users, especially for purposes such as storage and transport of water, fuel, and cooking oil. Residential and institutional end-users are concerned about possible emergencies and often require efficient safety measures. Jerry cans are a convenient solution for emergency purposes and can be used for maintenance and construction uses. Growing concerns over plastic waste in Vietnam would further amplify demand. The incorporation of eco-friendly plastic materials or the adoption of recycling and reuse techniques in manufacturing facilities can attract eco-conscious consumers, thereby improving growth.

HDPE Material to Dominate Vietnam’s Plastic Jerry Can Business

Based on material, the HDPE segment is set to dominate with around 3/4th share in Vietnam by 2023. This dominance is attributed to the fact that HDPE is easily recyclable, reusable, and compatible with a diverse range of sectors. However, PET-based jerry cans would gain considerable traction as they are cost-effective and can be adaptable to several businesses.

Several factors, including raw material costs, production procedures, and rivalry, can impact the pricing of HDPE jerry cans. Global and local dynamics could also be important. Advancements in HDPE formulations are projected to result in better characteristics or more environmentally friendly solutions because of ongoing research and development in the plastics sector.

Below 20 Liter Jerry Cans Capture the Key Share in Vietnam

In terms of capacity, the below 20 liters segment is set to gain huge traction in Vietnam’s plastic jerry can space. This is attributed to the increasing shift of consumers toward purchasing minimal quantities of food, beverages, and chemical items to reduce the possibility of leftover products. The 20 L to 25 L plastic jerry can segment is hence expected to hold around 1/4th of the ecosystem by 2033.
