Key Highlights of the Report:

  • Expansion of Global Trade and Exports: The vulnerability of corrosion is increasing as manufacturers are likely to transport metal parts, machinery, and automotive components across international borders. Additionally, an increase in cross-trade, especially by industrializing countries such as India, China, is increasing the need of using corrosion-inhibiting packaging.
  • Shift Toward Recyclable and Biodegradable VCI Films: With companies focusing on green and aligning with ESG objectives, demand for sustainable VCI packaging solutions continues to grow.
  • North America holds a significant market size: The high level of attention to high-value exports and strict quality requirements in the region creates demand for high-performance corrosion protection solutions.
  • The Asia-Pacific region is growing: The Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow significantly in the forecasted period as well, driven by rapid industrialization, expanding automotive and electronics manufacturing, and increasing exports.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) Packaging Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6.04%. The global VCI packaging market is experiencing growth due to the increasing demand for effective corrosion protection in metal-intensive industries that include automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing industries. With the growth in international trade, manufacturers are looking at finding reliable and cost-effective packaging systems that will ensure that metal parts are well packaged to withstand long-distance transportation and long-term storage. VCI packaging is clean and dry and replaces the traditional methods of packaging systems, thereby saving on maintenance and labor charges. Moreover, growing product knowledge regarding shelf life, quality assurance, and environmental friendliness is also causing the transformation towards green VCI materials. Increasing industrial automation and export-oriented manufacturing also stimulate the market demand on a global scale.

Expansion of Global Trade and Exports

The growth in international trade and exports is a strong growth factor for the Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging market. The vulnerability of corrosion is increasing as manufacturers are likely to transport metal parts, machinery, and automotive components across international borders and face longer transit times. A more effective alternative has been found in VCI packaging that provides protection of metal products against rusting, oxidation, and environmental degradation without using oil-based treatments. An increase in cross-trade, especially by industrializing countries such as India, China, is increasing the need of using corrosion-inhibiting packaging.

For instance, according to the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) data, global trade hit a record $33 trillion in 2024, expanding 3.7% ($1.2 trillion). With globalization, trade and export have increased significantly, leading to the growing demand for VCI packaging solutions for efficient and safe shipping and storing of the goods.

According to the report, the North America region holds the largest market share in the Global Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) Packaging Market

The North America Volatile Corrosion Inhibitors (VCI) Packaging market has the largest share in the global market because of the well-established industrial base, especially in the automotive, aerospace, defence, and metalworking industries. The high level of attention to high-value exports and strict quality requirements in the region creates demand for high-performance corrosion protection solutions. Moreover, the extensive usage of new packaging technologies, including smart and multi-metal VCI formulations, contributes to the further increase of the market growth. Favourable regulatory codes, premium consciousness of product dependability, and huge investment in research and development, as well as environment-friendly packaging technologies, are some of the factors that provide North America with the leadership in the worldwide VCI packaging market.
