Key Market Trends

In Traditional Plastics, Polyethylene to Dominate the Market

Presently, polyethylene has become one of the key products used in our daily life. It is primarily used in the packaging sector, which comprises of containers and bottles, plastic bags, plastic films, as well as geomembranes. It has various types, including HDPE and LDPE.
The packaging industry has been experiencing drastic growth over the past few years. The increased demand for packaged goods has accelerated the demand for high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Owing to the increased disposable income and rising consumption of products, including packaged foods, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, etc., the HDPE market is growing drastically.
The use of HDPE for plastic pipes in buildings is leading to the growth in the product’s market, owing to the rapid increase in Malaysia’s infrastructure sector.
Malaysia’s construction industry is expected to grow over the forecast period, due to the newly established Pakatan Harapan Coalition, which continues to reduce government debt and expenditure by initiating large-scale infrastructure projects across the country.
Following this coalition, the government has initiated the construction of two oil and gas pipeline projects in the country, worth USD 970 million each.
Owing to the above-mentioned factors, growth of traditional plastics, including polyethylene, is expected to rise during the forecast period.

Increasing Demand from Packaging Industry

Packaging accounts for the largest application segment in the market studied. 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.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the plastics majorly used 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 that make 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.
Increasing household and commercial applications for containers, plastic bags, canisters, and tableware, among others, are expected to drive the consumption demand for plastics in the packaging sector, during the forecast period.
The demand for plastics, from packaging, in the food and beverage sector has also increased considerably, over the years. The Malaysian food and beverage industry is a fast-growing one, characterized by a large export market.
