Myanmar Plastics Market Analysis

The Myanmar Plastics Market size is expected to grow from 304.28 kilotons in 2023 to 376.83 kilotons by 2028, at a CAGR of 4.37% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

  • The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the Myanmar plastics sector. Global lockdowns and severe rules enforced by governments resulted in a catastrophic setback as most production hubs were shut down. Nonetheless, the business has been recovering since 2021 and is expected to rise significantly in the coming years.
  • Over the long term, increasing demand from the building and construction industry and a surge in the adoption of food and beverage packaging are driving market growth.
  • Over-reliance on imports of raw materials and finished plastics and government regulations on the use of plastics is expected to hinder the growth of the market.
  • However, the emergence of plastic recycling processes and consumer inclination towards the use of bioplastics is projected to offer significant growth opportunities.
  • The packaging industry is expected to dominate the plastics market in Myanmar.

Myanmar Plastics Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Myanmar Plastics Market according to our research experts:

Bio-plastics Segment is Expected to Witness the Fastest Growth

  • Bioplastics are bio-based plastic-like materials made from renewable materials like corn, potato, cereals, sugar cane, and other vegetables. The bioplastics market in Myanmar primarily depends on major crops like corn and other plant oils. Bioplastics are 100% recyclable, and their prices are not in any way influenced by oil prices.
  • Due to the low electrostatic charging properties, bioplastics are used in consumer electronics, leisure goods, and also the automotive industry. They have some exceptionally good properties, such as wear-resistance with high strength, thermal and dimensional stability, and also chemical resistance in both dry and lubricated environments.
  • Bioplastics are categorized into two types: biodegradable and non-biodegradable bioplastics. They have a really good demand for packaging materials, which are used for wrapping premium and branded organic food products.
  • For developing economies like Myanmar, the packaging sector has the greatest potential for development. The modernization of the industry is driving the demand for flexible packaging due to the growing foreign investments by domestic food processors in processing and packaging equipment.
  • Government regulations such as: At the municipal level, the Yangon City Development Committee banned businesses from manufacturing, importing, trading, or distributing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic bags for environmental reasons in 2009. In 2011, the Mandalay City Development Committee banned polyethylene bags. This kind of regulation helped in the expansion of bio-plastics in Myanmar.
  • Owing to the aforementioned reasons, the usage of bioplastics in plastics applications is increasing in Myanmar.

Growing Demand from the Packaging Industry

  • Packaging accounts for the largest application segment in the Myanmar plastics market. The prime reasons for the growing application of engineering plastics in the packaging segment are better wear and chemical resistance, ease of molding, recyclability, puncture resistance, and high mechanical strength.
  • Some of the major applications of plastics in the packaging segment are as follows: packaging of bottled water and flexible packagings, such as sausage skin and flexible foils, such as shopping bags.
  • Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the majorly used plastics for packaging purposes, mostly in the food and beverage industry. Portability, design flexibility, ease of cleaning, lightweight, and protection against moisture are a few properties of PET, which makes it suitable for packaging purposes. In addition, low handling hazards, low toxicity, and absence of bisphenol A (BPA) and heavy metals are some of the other factors that allow PET to be used for food packaging.
  • PETs are used for making clamshells, bakery and take-out containers, microwaveable food trays, carbonated soft drink bottles, and other packages. Other applications include packaging materials for cooking oils, shampoo, hand wash, and more products.
  • Polyamide is another major engineering plastic that finds major application in the packaging sector. Bi-axially oriented and non-oriented polyamide films are used in medical and food packaging, owing to the former’s high impact strength and good heat resistance.
  • According to plastic atlas Myanmar 2020, a total of 3.6 billion PET bottles are consumed a year, including 2.5 million for water bottles alone.
  • The usage of plastics for packaging products is expected to experience fairly steady demand during the forecast period.
