Plastic packaging is driving the market
- The wide usage of plastic through all major packaging types creates a market for plastic as a material. The flexibility, strength, and durability of the material make it ideal for packaging many liquids, cream, and powder products in the industry. Compared to other materials available, plastic remains highly flexible and can be molded into any shape. The significant drivers for plastic products are growing retail, increasing dual-income households, and rising demand for PET bottles.
- Apart from its favorable properties, innovations, such as tamper-evidence caps and closures, are gaining popularity, leading to a significant value add for the brand owners. This has driven the use of plastics across a variety of products.
- Furthermore, there is a gradual shift in customer preference toward adopting flexible plastic packaging over its rigid counterpart because of convenience and sustainability issues. Flexible plastic packaging materials are 80% lighter in weight than their equivalent rigid plastic materials and cheaper.
- However, environmental concerns associated with plastics have resulted in a slowdown in the market growth in the last decade. Nevertheless, with the advent of biodegradable plastics and recycling, plastics are expected to sustain their usage in the packaging world.
