Indonesia Rigid Plastic Packaging Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Indonesia Rigid Plastic Packaging Market Analysis

The Indonesia Rigid Plastic Packaging Market size in terms of shipment volume is expected to grow from 1.18 Million tonnes in 2024 to 1.51 Million tonnes by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.98% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

The Indonesian rigid plastic packaging market now operates differently as a result of the evolution and adoption of plastic packaging. Although Indonesia's downstream rigid plastic packaging market is highly developed, its reliance on imported raw materials has limited its growth potential.

• Indonesia's industrial sector has been pivotal in bolstering the nation's economic growth. Over the past few years, this sector has seen a notable uptick in both production volume and value. Key drivers of this include government incentives for investors, a business-friendly environment, technological advancements, and a skilled workforce. The rigid plastics packaging market in Indonesia is poised for continued growth in the coming years, fueled by surging consumer spending.
• Plastic packaging is more popular with consumers than other types of packaging because plastic is lightweight and easy to handle. Even large manufacturers prefer plastic packaging solutions due to their low production costs. In addition, the emergence of polymers such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has expanded the applications of plastic packaging. The demand for PET bottles is increasing across various industries.
• Indonesia's pivotal role in Asia’s expansive consumer market is underscored by a steady influx of investments in packaging materials, aligning with the rising demand for premium packaging across the region. For instance, in January 2023, BASF expanded its production capacity for polymer dispersions at its Merak facility in Indonesia.
• In Indonesia, the demand for rigid plastic packaging is on the rise. Rigid plastic packaging is used in various sectors, including industrial, retail, and healthcare. Due to its excellent barrier qualities, lengthy shelf life, and durability, plastic packaging has seen substantial growth in the healthcare sector.
• Various manufacturers in the country prefer rigid plastic packaging as it is a cost-effective solution to protect food and beverages during delivery from farm to table and preserve food over longer durations. These packages also support innovations through different forms and shapes and are lighter in weight.
• However, changing regulatory standards, fluctuating raw material costs, increasing waste volumes, and rising environmental waste regulations are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period. This is also expected to encourage companies to develop new products that are potentially disruptive and reduce the current risks in the market.
