Japan Plastics Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japanese plastics industry is experiencing tremendous change due to the sustainability program and the increasing demand in the market to adopt environmentally friendly packaging solutions. The efforts of Japan to minimize plastic waste and attain a circular economy are pushing companies to develop biodegradable and recycleable plastic materials. Various initiatives by the government to cut down on plastic wastes such as the imposition of a fee in the use of plastic bags, encouraging consumers to use alternatives that require reuse is transforming consumer behavior and spurring the development of alternative plastic technologies. Also, the transition of the packaging industry to lightweight, strong and environmentally friendly materials is opening new possibilities in the development of advanced plastic formulations that satisfy performance and environmental demands.

The rise in industrial development in major industries such as the automotive industry, electronic industry and the construction industry is playing a major role in the growth of the Japanese plastics market. The need to reduce emissions and fuel consumption through the lightweighting of vehicles is pushing the automotive industry to adopt high-performance engineering plastics and composites. The constant innovation by the electronics industry in consumer devices, semiconductors, and electronic components demands the use of plastic materials with super electrical properties and thermal stability. Moreover, the construction of infrastructure development projects in Japan and the continued re-furbishment of old structures is fueling the demand of construction grade plastics utilized in piping, insulation and structural applications. Smart manufacturing technologies and automation in plastic processing are also increasing production efficiency and allowing the development of more complex and customized plastic products.
