A dangerous goods bag is a specially crafted, sturdy container designed to safely store and transport hazardous materials that pose risks to health, safety, or the environment. Its main function is to prevent leaks, contamination, and exposure during handling and transport, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while protecting people and property.
The primary types of dangerous goods bags include single-use and reusable options. Single-use bags are disposable containers intended for the secure, one-time transport of hazardous materials, maintaining hygiene and regulatory standards. These bags are used to carry a variety of goods, such as explosives, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizing agents, radioactive substances, toxic and infectious materials, corrosives, and others. They find application across industries like aerospace, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, logistics and transportation, construction, automotive, and food and beverage. Distribution channels include online stores, specialty shops, supermarkets or hypermarkets, and other retail outlets. Key end-users comprise manufacturers, distributors, retailers, government and regulatory bodies, and waste management firms.
Tariffs are impacting the dangerous goods bag market by increasing costs of imported polymers, composite materials, specialty fabrics, and aluminum foils used in single-use and reusable safety bags. Chemical, pharmaceutical, and logistics sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on imported raw materials, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing pressure on manufactured packaging exports. These tariffs are raising procurement costs for end users. However, they are also encouraging domestic material sourcing, local manufacturing expansion, and innovation in cost-effective and sustainable hazardous goods packaging solutions.

This dangerous goods bag market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The dangerous goods bag market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.81 billion in 2025 to $3.08 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising transportation of hazardous materials, expansion of chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, increasing regulatory enforcement on hazardous goods handling, growth in industrial waste generation, wider use of safety-compliant packaging.
The dangerous goods bag market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.44 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on sustainable hazardous packaging, rising adoption of biodegradable safety bags, expansion of global hazardous goods logistics, growing demand for high-performance containment solutions, increasing digital tracking of dangerous goods. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of reusable hazardous material packaging, rising demand for regulatory-compliant safety bags, growing use of durable composite bag materials, expansion of leak-proof and containment designs, enhanced focus on traceability and labeling.
The rising transportation of hazardous materials is expected to drive the growth of the dangerous goods bag market in the coming years. Hazardous materials are substances that pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment due to their chemical, physical, or biological properties. This increase in hazardous material transport is largely driven by growing demand for chemicals, as industrial expansion requires safe movement of more chemical products across regions. Dangerous goods bags facilitate the safe transport of hazardous materials by providing compliant, secure containment that minimizes the risk of leaks or contamination, enhancing safety across logistics operations and protecting people, property, and the environment. For example, in April 2024, the U.S. Department of Transportation (PHMSA), a US-based regulatory body, reported that over 1.2 million hazardous materials shipments occurred daily in the United States, totaling more than 3.3 billion tons transported annually. Thus, the increasing transport of hazardous materials is propelling the dangerous goods bag market.
Leading companies in the dangerous goods bag market are focusing on sustainable packaging solutions like recycled containers to reduce environmental impact and meet stricter regulations. Recycled containers are made wholly or partly from recovered materials that are processed and reused, lowering waste and reducing reliance on virgin raw materials. For instance, in October 2023, Berry Global Group Inc., a US plastic packaging manufacturer, introduced 20- and 25-liter optimum containers made with 35% recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE). These containers have UN approval for transporting various hazardous liquids, offer enhanced chemical resistance, and comply with forthcoming recycled content regulations. The 20- and 25-liter containers provide a sustainable choice for the safe packaging and transport of dangerous goods while supporting circular economy initiatives.
In January 2025, International Paper Company, a US-based pulp and paper products firm, acquired DS Smith plc for $7.2 billion. This acquisition aims to bolster International Paper's presence in the packaging sector by expanding its geographic reach and improving its renewable and recyclable packaging capabilities. DS Smith plc, based in the UK, specializes in sustainable packaging solutions, including manufacturing durable and compliant dangerous goods bags.
