Commodity Plastics Market Dynamics
The key driving factors in the global market include an increased disposable income-generating high demand for consumer goods, a growing packaging industry, and increasing production of lightweight electric vehicles, and rising metal prices.
Growing packaging industry
The global packaging industry is growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for packaging in almost every end-use industry. Moreover, the emergence of the e-commerce industry has further fueled the packaging industry's growth, which directly impacts the commodity plastics market's development. Packaging became an essential requirement for marketing to attract customers as well as for the safety of the products. Additionally, value-added packaging has emerged in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry to prompt customers to buy new products.
The flexible packaging industry experienced high growth in 2019 and registered a higher growth rate, which will create significant growth opportunities in the global commodity plastics market. Moreover, increasing demand for plastic packaging is expected to continue during the forecast period and is anticipated to drive the market for commodity plastics.
Strignent environmental concerns over plastic waste
The key factor restraint the growth of the commodity plastics market is increasing concerns over plastic waste. Plastic waste is a major environmental concern owing to its very low degradation rate. Plastic waste is either recycled or dumped in the ocean or landfills. Dumping plastics in landfills degrades the quality of the soil and can release harmful chemicals, which can come into contact with groundwater and pose severe health hazards. These factors are expected to hamper the growth of the commodity plastics market over the forecast period. Moreover, due to increasing environmental concerns, many organizations are promoting the use of paper or cloth-based products instead of plastic, which may hinder the growth of the commodity plastic market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Commodity Plastics Market
The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19 has brought about making a worldwide emergency in the FMCG business. More than 195 nations worldwide are affected by COVID-19; the pandemic has just made financial settings worldwide, implying the subsequent worldwide downturn. Various governments attempt solid activities for containing the flare-up. In any case, social distancing adversely affects the FMCG business. Strategic issues, the absence of a sufficient workforce, and tasks restricting to creating just fundamental things are a portion of a couple of models most FMCG organizations are looking at across the globe. Thus, the commodity plastics market also suffered in various end-use industries but gained traction in the e-commerce business, including food and vegetable home delivery.
Commodity Plastics Market Segmentation Analysis
Based on the type, the commodity plastics market has been classified into polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyethylene terephthalate and polymethyl methacrylate.
The polyethylene terephthalate segment is projected to be the fastest-growing type in the market during the forecast period.
Polyethylene terephthalates are the plastic resins and the most regularly utilized plastic material. An enormous number of consumer products, beverages, and food things are packaged and delivered with this material. PET is produced from polyester and has great water and dampness properties, due to which it is utilized in the assembling of soda bottles. It has a wide scope of textile applications. Polyethylene terephthalate plastic is endorsed as safe for food and beverages contact by the FDA and similar administrative agencies all through the world.
Based on the end-use, the commodity plastics market has been classified into packaging, automotive, electronic, consumer goods, construction, textiles, medical & pharmaceuticals and others.
Packaging to be the most opportunistic industry for the commodity plastics market.
Packaging protects products during processing, storage, and distribution. Any packaging system aims to prevent or delay undesirable changes in texture, flavour, appearance, and odour. Customers' dismissal of the item is possible if the mentioned quality isn't met. Hence, another specialized technical tool is introduced in the market called 'Active and Intelligent Packaging,' which better controls the food from training/spoiling and keeps up its quality. Packaging is a fundamental indispensable process for preserving and transporting goods. It obliges various sectors, for example, retail, institutional, and modern. Changing consumers' lifestyles with increasing purchasing power has resulted in an expansion in the significance of plastics as packaging products.
