Moreover, push-pull closures are also used in household applications such as dishwashers. Push-pull closures are made up of polyethylene, polypropylene, thermosets, polystyrene, and polyethylene terephthalate.

Market Dynamics

The growth of push-pull closure market is driven by increasing consumer spending on products such as food & beverages, cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceutical, and household. For instance, as per Ministry of Food Processing Industries, India in 2017, the consumption of food and beverages in India was US$ 369 billion, which has increased and is expected to reach US$ 1.142 trillion by 2025. Therefore, push-pull closure market is expected to boost during the forecast period.

Furthermore, increased demand for small sports bottles due to its compactness is expected to fuel the push-pull closure market growth over the forecast period.

Among material type, the polypropylene segment accounted for largest share in the global push- pull closure market and it is expected to grow during the forecast period due to its excellent chemical resistance properties. Moreover, polypropylene has lower density, higher softening point, and higher rigidity & hardness. Therefore, these properties are expected to increase its demand in various end-use industries.
