Packaging Resins Market Analysis

The packaging resins market is expected to witness a CAGR of more than 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the safety of the employees, and reducing the spread of the virus, in the first half of 2020, manufacturing plants were closed in most parts of the world. The lockdown and the decision of most governments, worldwide, to shut down non-essential businesses have halted the consumer goods segment for most of the year 2020. This has negatively affected the consumer goods industry, in turn, the packaging resins market. Around 34.7 million fewer electronic goods were shipped in February 2020, compared to that of the previous year February, marking the largest drop in the electronic goods industry. The relaxation of the lockdown and the manufacturing plants opening is an encouraging sign for the packaging resins market. Furthermore, the cosmetics and personal care industry suffered in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is an increase in e-commerce sales, almost twice as high as their pre-COVID-19 levels, which is a positive factor for the market studied.

  • Over the long term, the growing e-commerce industry, cost-effectiveness, and increased shelf-life of products have been driving the market growth.
  • The growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions and innovation of modern packaging technologies are likely to provide ample opportunities for the growth of the packaging resins market over the forecast period.
  • The food and beverage segment is expected to dominate the packaging resins market over the forecast period.
  • The Asia Pacific region dominated the packaging resins market, and it is also expected to be the fastest-growing regional market over the forecast period, owing to the increasing consumption from countries, such as China, India, and Japan.
