Plastic Packaging Market Dynamics

Driver: Expanding Key End-use Industries

The food & beverage industry is the largest end-user in the plastic packaging market. Plastic packaging products, such as trays, containers, tubs, wraps, pouches, and films, are extensively utilized in the food & beverage industry for packaging ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, RTE convenient products, frozen meals, carbonated & non-carbonated beverages, and snack foods. Pharmaceutical is another major end-user of plastic packaging products. In the pharmaceutical industry, products, such as blister packaging, are used for the unit dose packaging of medicines. Furthermore, for the packaging of various small-sized medical devices, thermoformed containers, such as trays, clamshells, and cups, are used owing to their low cost, high aesthetic appeal, and robust barrier properties.

Driver: Increasing Spending on Personal Care Products

Increasing awareness regarding personal health and safety is anticipated to provide a stimulus to the growth of the personal care market. Improved standards of living, high disposable income, and increasing proportion of working population are expected to propel the personal care market growth. Increased consumption of anti-tan, sunblock, and antiaging creams among middle-aged consumers is a key factor boosting the demand for personal care products. Rising demand for moisturizing lotions, creams, hair styling gels, and makeup products for men is also expected to fuel the growth of personal care & cosmetics industry. Moreover, rising demand for chemical-free skin and personal care products coupled with growing preference of consumers for organic care has contributed to the rising demand for organic skincare products.

Restraint: Volatile Raw Material Prices

Plastic resins, such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene (PS), are mainly used to produce plastic packaging products. These plastic resins are derived from crude oil. Therefore, continuous fluctuation in crude oil prices leads to uncertainty around the availability of raw materials at lower or economical prices. Large-sized packaging manufacturers stock raw materials in large quantities owing to their long-term production planning, strong financial position, and availability of warehousing, which reduces the impact of fluctuation in raw material prices. However, small-scale manufacturers cannot store raw materials in high quantities due to the small production capacity and unavailability of warehousing, thus, the raw material price fluctuations disturb their product costing as well as profit margins associated with product.
