Potential Markets

As Jumbo bags gains prominence in the existing markets in India, there

is a lot of effort already being made to penetrate new markets which
have huge potential in the future. High Potential Markets

Cement: Infrastructure is growing at a phenomenal rate in India and

Cement being the basic raw material offers a huge potential as more
and more manufacturers start to adapt bulk transportation that will
facilitate cost savings, practical advantages as a result of lesser unit
cost of packing and substantial reduction in wastage.

Food: Several food and related products are being packed and
transported in Jumbo Bags. These include Organic and Regular Rice
exported in Jumbo Bags. Other significant developments are Sugar,
Cashew, Coffee, Gelatin, which are also exported in Jumbo Bags, and
has potential to reach huge volumes.

Alumina: The Country is today producing surplus alumina, which is

being exported. This trend is likely to continue with the establishment of
green field export oriented alumina refineries.
