Press Release: Rigid Plastic Packaging Market to Surpass US$ 300 Billion by 2027
Global Rigid Plastic Packaging Market – Insights
The market is projected to reach US$ 300 billion by the end of 2027, at a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period. This growth is attributed to growing end-use industries such as food & beverage, healthcare, personal care & cosmetics, and others. Rigid plastic packaging products offer various advantages such as durability, cost effectiveness, recycling properties, and can be molded into different shapes. These factors are expected to drive growth of the rigid plastic packaging market over the forecast period.
Materials used in rigid plastic packaging products are polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), bio plastics and others. Other materials used are polyamide, polycarbonate (PC) and polylactic acid (PLA). Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) segment is expected to grow at a faster pace during the forecast period. PET material is light weight in nature and offers various advantages such as durability, clear & shiny surface, high pressure resistance, high stability, and good barrier properties. These properties make PET the most widely used material in the rigid plastic packaging industry.
Stringent government regulations imposed on packaging products is expected to hamper market growth. For instance, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act mandates the need for adequate information related to packaging materials. Section 501(a) (3) of the Act states that a drug is deemed to be adulterated ‘if its container is composed, in whole or in part, of any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render the contents injurious to health’. However, favorable growth of food & beverages, pharmaceutical and personal care industries globally, presents immense opportunity for rigid plastic packaging manufacturers.
The global rigid plastic packaging market was valued at US$ 179 billion in 2018, and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.9% in terms of revenue over the forecast period (2019 – 2027).
