WHY PLASTIC IS CONSIDERED AS MOST EFFECTIVE IN PACKAGING? MAIN REASON FOR A STEADY GROWTH IN PLASTIC MARKET!

HOW PLASTIC MADE AND WHERE IT USED:

Plastics are organic materials, just like wood, paper, or wool. Plastics are made from natural products such as cellulose, coal, natural gas, salt, and, of course, crude oil. Plastics are highly flexible materials that can be used in a number of consumer and industrial applications. Since most plastics have a low density, plastic products are lightweight. Furthermore, although most plastics have excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties, some plastics can be made to conduct electricity when necessary. They are resistant to many chemicals that attack other materials, making them long-lasting and ideal for use in harsh environments. Certain plastics are transparent in nature, which aids in the development of optical devices. They can be easily molded into complex forms, allowing other materials to be incorporated into plastic items and making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. Furthermore, if the physical properties of a given plastic do not quite fulfill the defined requirements, the balance of properties can be adjusted by adding reinforcing fillers, colors, foaming agents, flame retardants, plasticizers, and so on to meet the demands of the particular application.

Plastics' market success as a packaging material is attributed to a combination of their versatility, resilience, lightness, stability, impermeability, and ease of sterilization. Because of these qualities, plastics are an outstanding packaging material for a wide variety of commercial and industrial users in both flexible and rigid formats. Plastic food packaging, for example, has no effect on the flavor or consistency of the food. Plastics' barrier properties, in fact, ensure that food preserves its natural flavor while shielding it from external contamination. Furthermore, its unrivaled versatility is illustrated in a wide variety of applications, including packaging films for fresh meats, fruits, vegetables, and beverage bottles. Furthermore, its unrivaled versatility is evident in a broad range of applications, including packaging films for fresh foods, fruits, and vegetables; bottles for drinks, edible oils, and sauces; and pans, tubs, and trays for yogurt, margarine ice cream, and sliced cooked meats.

Packaging Industry to Garner Maximum Revenue:

It has also been observed that worldwide consumers have always shown eagerness in adopting new technologies in various fields, which is why they focus more on the performance of the end-product as their prime concern. Thus, their willingness to pay for high-quality food and beverage packaging is higher, making the packaging segment an ideal market for high-quality plastics during 2021-2025.

Plastics are used in rigid packaging such as films, pouches, and sheets, as well as flexible packaging such as bottles, cups, trays for foods, beverage es, chemicals, and medicines. The aesthetic appeal of the packaging materials promotes the product sale, thus maximizing the revenue in 2019. In addition, the growing demand for bioplastics such as polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is preferred for the manufacturing of printable films and packaging films by the method of extrusion.

Asia-Pacific and Japan to Witness Maximum Demand in the Plastics Market:

The demand for plastics varies according to various regions. The market holds a prominent share in various countries of North America, China, and Europe. Asia-Pacific and Japan is currently the largest revenue-generating country in the plastics market, predominantly backed by demand for premium plastic products. Industrial advancements, technological advancements, extensive investments for dedicated R&D facilities, and the presence of major display manufacturing companies are some of the major drivers that are propelling the growth of the market in the country. Additionally, due to the wide-scale production of bio-based and recycled plastics as well as technological advancements pertaining to plastics technology, the market is expected to grow at a steady rate. Apart from Asia-Pacific, China, North America, and Europe are expected to display significant growth potential on account of an excessive industrial base, encouraging government policies, and financial support for research and development offered in the various countries of the entire region.
