Market Dynamics
Rising Demand for Durability and Safety Packaging Solutions in Oil and Lubricants Industry
Jerry cans have become a popular choice in the oil and lubricants industry, serving as essential containers for the storage, transport, and dispensing of various types of oils, lubricants, and related products. Packaging has gained demand in the oil and lubricant market due to its properties such as secure storage and transport, leaf-proof design, easy handling and cost-effectiveness as compared to other packaging options available in the market.
Metal jerry cans have seen immense demand in the oil and lubricants industry as compared to plastic jerry cans. Metal jerry cans are known for their robust construction, making them suitable for handling and storing flammable liquids such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and oils. Furthermore, hazardous materials can be stored and transported safely due to their metal construction, which increases their resilience to impacts, extreme temperatures, and harsh climatic conditions.
Growth in E-commerce and Retail
The E-commerce and retail industry has shown tremendous growth especially after the outbreak of the pandemic. Since nearly 20.8% of retail purchases are projected to be replaced by online in 2023, it’s no surprise that e-commerce sales are supposed to increase as well. Approximately 12 million to 24 million eCommerce sites exist worldwide, and new ones are being launched every single day. There is a tonne of space for growth considering that less than 1 million of these websites sell more than US$1,000 per year.

Jerry cans are an effective option for liquid packaging, making them appropriate for many businesses. These liquids include oils, chemicals, and other substances.
Stringent Regulations
Regulations are essential standards for ensuring safety, quality, and environmental protection, they can also pose challenges for manufacturers and users of jerry cans. Various regulations have been set by the government to ensure packaging safety. For instance, The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations): These recommendations offer instructions for the secure transportation of hazardous commodities, including specifications for the use of jerry cans.
Furthermore, regulations set by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), these regulations cover the safe transport of hazardous materials, including the use of jerry cans for the delivery of chemicals and fuel. Considering the growing environmental concerns some regulations may require jerry can manufacturers to meet specific environmental standards for materials, recycling, or waste disposal. While these requirements are essential for sustainability, they impose additional costs and challenges for companies to meet these expectations.
