Key Market Trends

Increasing Demand from Packaging Industry

The Global packaging industry has come across steady growth from the recent years and is expected to continue, driven by shifts in choice of substrates, expansion of new markets, and changing ownership dynamics.
Additionally, growth in pharmaceuticals, cost-effectiveness of thermoforming and the ease of disposal are some of the other factors driving the packaging industry nowadays.
Packaging is the 5th largest sector in India’s economy and is one of the highest growth sectors in the country. According to Packaging Industry Association of India (PIAI), the sector is growing at a rate of 22-25% annually.
Owing to the rising population in China, people are increasingly consuming products like food, beverages, and on-the-go pharmaceuticals. This is increasing the demand for packaging solutions that are convenient and portable. The Chinese packaging industry is expected to grow at a rate of 5.9% per year till 2020.
In the United States, among the different types of packaging, the flexible packaging market is growing at a faster pace, owing to the benefits of flexible packaging and higher end-user preference over other packaging types. The changing trends in consumer behavior and the manufacturers’ convenience are resulting in a faster growth of the flexible packaging market in the country.
The packaging industry in Germany is also growing at a rapid pace, owing to the huge increase in domestic e-commerce and rising foreign exports. In addition, the increasing preference for packaged food and beverages is also leading to the growth of packaging industry.
All the aforementioned factors are likely to help the market for rigid transparent plastics flourish in the packaging segment, during the forecast period.
