Sales of plastic pails in Vietnam recorded a CAGR of 1.7% from 2018 to 2022. Total revenue in the country reached US$ 68.2 million at the end of 2022. Over the assessment period, plastic pail demand in Vietnam is projected to increase at a 3.3% CAGR.
| Historical CAGR (2018 to 2022) | 1.7% |
|---|---|
| Forecast CAGR (2023 to 2033) | 3.3% |
The Vietnam plastic pail business is expected to witness a positive growth trajectory during the forecast period. This is attributable to the rapid expansion of end-use industries and the growing need for convenient, rigid, and lightweight packaging solutions.
Food, beverage, chemical, personnel care, and healthcare are leading consumers of plastic pails across Vietnam. These sectors use plastic pails to store and transport a wide range of products.
Food and beverage sectors need packages that provide optimum protection against external contaminants and offer easier transportation. As a result, they are opting for packaging solutions such as plastic pails. These pails are also used for storing light food items, such as dairy items, and bulky products, including cereals and sweets.
Plastic pails with good chemical resistance, water tightness, and sturdiness are getting more traction in the chemical sector. This is because they offer good adaptability for packaging paints, glues, cleaning, and agrochemical products.
Beauty and personal care sectors for the packaging of creams, scrubs, hair masks, and body lotions often adopt plastic pails. This packaging provides optimal protection for several cosmetics items. They also help with the practical and efficient distribution of products.
In the medical sector, plastic pails are widely used for the storage and transportation of medical equipment, medicines, surgical supplies, and several waste products. The high flexibility, convenience, and lightweight nature are key factors for these sectors to adopt plastic pails, while the capacity and type of plastic play a considerable role in their adoption.

Square-based plastic pails are experiencing considerable traction due to their space efficiency compared to their alternate round-based pails. This advantage helps them to optimize the storage and transportation space as it would utilize the limited warehouse space.
A recent study on the space utilization between square-based pails and round-based pails revealed that square-based pails are around 30% more efficient than round-based pails. The adoption of square-based pails can improve the cost efficiency for the manufacturers and end-users.
For eco-conscious consumers, the reduced space requirements will lead to fewer materials used for the transportation and storage of resources. This will reduce the use of harmful plastic products and can align with sustainable practices. These factors will continue to affect the efficiency of the packaging and are expected to improve in the estimated period. Manufacturers can adopt multiple techniques to improve space efficiency and gain revenues.
Plastic pail manufacturers have started to focus on the innovation of materials. Lighter and stronger materials have a greater advantage for the transportation and storage of products. These materials protect the integrity of products and help for smooth and efficient transportation. This innovation not only improves the structural integrity of the packaging but also enhances the sustainability goals.
The reduction in the weight of the plastic pails will lower the transportation cost. Manufacturers can use this benefit to improve the distribution mode and reduce their carbon footprint.
Biodegradable plastics are becoming ideal materials for plastic pail manufacturers as they reduce the problem of plastic waste. The adoption of these plastics can have an added advantage in the sector due to the rising concern over environmental issues.
The usage of bio-plastics will reduce the dependency on environmentally degrading fossil-based plastics. Manufacturers can adopt these techniques to comply with environmental regulations and expand their customer base.
The growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions is expected to foster Vietnam’s plastic pail business growth. Similarly, the implementation of stringent regulations can create new growth prospects for the Vietnam plastic container sector.
The growing adoption of innovation and the regulatory shift have compelled the manufacturers of plastic pails to adopt cutting-edge polythene-based pails. These pails are manufactured specifically for carrying heavy loads and reduce the impact of wear and tear.
The adoption of rubber or liquid gaskets in the lids of the pails will provide multiple advantages, such as preservation of product integrity, reduce the risk of spill, and ease of transportation. This will improve the confidence of the end users to adopt these pails.
Manufacturers can add tamper-evident features in their pails to further enhance their quality and attractiveness. This will bode well for the target business.

The section below shows the HDPE segment dominating the Vietnam plastic pail business. It is expected to thrive at a 2.4% CAGR during the assessment period. Based on capacity, the 18 L to 20 L segment is set to account for a prominent revenue share, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5%.
| Material | Value CAGR |
|---|---|
| HDPE | 2.4% |
| PET | 4.6% |
As per the latest plastic pail analysis, HDPE remains the most widely used material for making plastic pails across Vietnam. This is due to several benefits of HDPE and growing end-user preference for HDPE-based pails.
The HDPE-based pails segment is expected to thrive at a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period. It will likely hold more than 1/4th of the revenue 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 businesses.
On the other hand, the PET segment is anticipated to record a higher CAGR of 4.6% during the assessment period. This is because PET-based pails are more transparent, temperature-efficient, and cost-efficient than HDPE-based pails.
| Capacity | Value CAGR |
|---|---|
| 18 L to 20 L | 3.5% |
| Below 18 L | 4.2% |
Based on capacity, the 18 L to 20 L plastic pails segment is expected to dominate Vietnam at the beginning of the forecast period, while at the end of the forecast period, the below 20 L segment will likely dominate. This is because even though plastic pails in the range of 18 L to 20 L offer ideal capacity, several end-users prefer lower-sized pails due to convenience and emphasis on reducing leftover products.
As per the latest analysis, demand for below 18 L plastic pails in Vietnam is predicted to increase at a 4.2% CAGR during the assessment period. By 2033, the target segment will likely account for about 2/5th of the revenue share.
Vietnam, a growing industrial hub with good opportunities for innovation in multiple sectors, observes a region-wise variety in customer behavioral patterns and rigid packaging trends. Vietnam-based plastic pail companies are primarily focused on improving material quality and sustainable integrity.
Prominent plastic pail companies in Vietnam include Alpla Group, Nhat Tien Manufacturing & Trading Co., Chan Thuan Plastic, Vinh Thanh Plastic Company Limited, Vietnam Button Cap Manufacturing Joint Stock Company, Oriental Plastic Company, Thuan Thiên Co, Ltd, and several others.
