Consumers globally increasingly favor plastic packaging due to its lightweight nature and ease of handling. Major manufacturers are gravitating toward plastic packaging solutions, primarily for their cost-effectiveness in production.

  • Manufacturers widely favor plastic bottles crafted from materials like polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, and polyethylene. These materials are lightweight and unbreakable, enhancing the ease of handling. Additionally, manufacturers lean toward plastic packaging due to its cost-effectiveness. Given the rising reliance on packaged and processed foods and diverse beverages, the market for plastic bottles and containers is poised for growth during the forecast period.
  • PET has become a vital packaging material among bottle manufacturers across the region. Its versatility in accommodating different shapes and sizes has provided unparalleled alternatives to conventional glass and metal containers, making it a highly desirable choice in the packaging industry.
    • According to a report by PETnology, a global packaging networking platform, in July 2023, Asia is expected to take the lead in global PET industry capacity expansions, driven by new construction and expansion initiatives set to take place after 2023.
  • Manufacturers prefer PET over other plastic packaging products, as it has a minimum loss of raw material during the manufacturing process compared to other plastic products. Its recyclability and the feature of adding multiple colors and designs augment it to become a preferred choice. Refillable products have emerged with rising consumer awareness of the environment and have acted to create demand for the product.
  • As consumers increasingly prioritize high-quality drinking water, driven by concerns over tainted tap water and the inherent convenience of portability, the demand for bottled water surges. This growing appetite for bottled water, alongside the rising popularity of non-alcoholic beverages, is set to propel the plastic bottle market within the beverage industry.
  • However, there is a growing inclination toward other packaging materials that offer environment-friendly properties. The consumption of aluminum cans and glass bottles has been witnessing high adoption rates in the region owing to its eco-friendly nature and high recyclability. Thus, consumers have been increasingly moving toward other materials from plastic.

Plastic Bottles Industry Overview

The plastic bottles market is fragmented and consists of several major players. In terms of market share, few of the major players currently dominate the market. These players, with a prominent share of the market, are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. These companies are leveraging strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market share and profitability. Some of the recent developments in the market are:

  • May 2024: ALPLA, a key firm in plastic packaging, unveiled a new recyclable wine bottle crafted from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This innovative packaging slashes carbon footprints by as much as 50% and offers potential cost savings of up to 30%. Currently, bottles offered in 750 ml and one-liter sizes are being used by Austrian wine producer Wegenstein, marking them as both a pilot customer and a collaborative development partner.
  • August 2023: Berry Global unveiled an innovative rPET bottle for a new sustainable luxury brand. Leveraging its technical prowess and extensive experience with recycled plastics, Berry brought to life the original design vision of NEUE Water’s founder, Michael Lowers. The unconventional flat shape posed challenges to the traditional injection stretch blow molding (ISBM) process used for PET bottles. However, Berry adeptly modified the technology to integrate the novel design seamlessly.
