Several steel drum manufacturers in Southeast Asia have integrated drum reconditioning services into their portfolio to support the growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable solutions.
Steel drums are expected to gain immense popularity due to their high versatility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. They are projected to find applications across several sectors as the demand for reliable storage and transportation solutions rises. Their exceptional strength makes them suitable for storing a wide range of materials, including chemicals, petroleum products, as well as food and beverages.
In recent times, the chemical and petroleum businesses have showcased rapid growth across several countries in Southeast Asia. For instance, according to Malaysia's Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI), the country’s chemical sector is estimated to rise by over 30% in the next seven years.
The Government of Vietnam also launched an industrial development strategy in 2022. It will help the local petrochemical sector to expand by around 10% every year till 2040. Such initiatives are further poised to propel the steel drum business across Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia is expected to witness a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Southeast Asia’s steel drum business is an important segment of the region's well-established packaging sector. The business serves a wide range of sectors, including chemical, pharmaceutical, construction, food and beverage, and manufacturing.
The business is set to be affected by the region's growing industrialization, which is projected to increase the need for reliable and safe packaging solutions. The construction sector, particularly in countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia, is witnessing a high demand for steel drums for the storage and transportation of construction materials.
Steel drums are anticipated to be used in a variety of sectors, including chemical, petroleum, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, agriculture, and more. They are set to be chosen based on their robustness, longevity, and capacity to handle hazardous contaminants. As steel barrels are more environmentally friendly and recyclable than plastic ones, they are set to gain high popularity.
To increase the effectiveness and quality of steel drum production, manufacturers are making investments in cutting-edge production technology. Stricter laws governing the transfer of hazardous goods are further driving the demand for steel barrels.
The Southeast Asia steel drum business exhibited a CAGR of 4.6% during the historical period from 2018 to 2022. It reached a value of US$ 395.8 million in 2022 from US$ 330.4 million in 2018.
Historical CAGR (2018 to 2022) | 4.6% |

Historical Value (2022) | US$ 395.8 million |
The demand for steel drums in Southeast Asia steadily increased due to the region's expanding industrial sector. The rise in manufacturing activities, along with the need for efficient storage and transportation solutions, has further facilitated this growth.
Another factor that helped the sales to rise is the presence of stringent regulations associated with the safe storage and transportation of hazardous materials. Steel drums have been preferred over other alternatives due to their ability to meet the required safety standards.
The business has been influenced by the need for sustainable packaging solutions and the increased awareness of environmental problems. As they are strong and recyclable, steel barrels are becoming immensely popular among businesses trying to lessen their environmental effect. Manufacturers can now satisfy clients’ needs with greater product quality, efficiency, and customization possibilities thanks to technological advancements in steel drum production.
It has been noted that certain manufacturers are being acquired by larger players in the business. Competition has grown as a result of this consolidation, and product offers can get better.
Over time, consumer tastes have changed. For instance, several businesses now choose alternative packaging materials for certain uses, such as plastic drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).
The Southeast Asian steel drum business has been impacted by global economic situations such as trade disputes, exchange rate volatility, and economic downturns. The availability of raw materials and components required for the manufacturing of steel drums has been impacted by supply chain interruptions, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 epidemic.
The table presents the expected CAGRs for Southeast Asia steel drum space over several semi-annual periods spanning from 2022 to 2033. In the first half (H1) of the decade from 2022 to 2032, the field is predicted to surge at a CAGR of 7.7%.
It is set to be followed by a slightly lower growth rate of 7.4% in the second half (H2) of the same decade. Moving into the subsequent period, from H1 2023 to H2 2033, the CAGR is projected to drop slightly to 7.2% in the first half and remain relatively moderate at 7.0% in the second half.
