Rigid Plastic Packaging Market by Raw Material (PE, PET, PP, PVC, EPS, PS, Bioplastics), Type (Bottles & jars, Trays, Tubs, Cups & Pots), Production Process (Extrusion, Injection Molding), Application, and Region - Global Forecast to 2021

The global rigid plastic packaging market was valued at USD 189.43 Billion in 2015 and is projected to reach USD 262.68 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.71%. The base year considered for the study is 2015 and the market size is forecasted from 2016 to 2021. The primary objective of the study is to define, segment, and project the rigid plastic packaging market size on the basis of material, type, production process, application, and region. The study also aims at strategically analyzing micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and their contribution to the total market. It also provides detailed information about the main factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges). In addition to this, the study analyzes competitive developments such as partnerships, agreements, contracts, and joint ventures; mergers & acquisitions; expansions; new product developments; and R&D activities in the rigid plastic packaging market.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the market size included the top-down approach. The total market size for rigid plastic packaging was calculated, and accordingly, the percentage was allotted to different sectors in each of the segments. This allotment and calculation were done on the basis of extensive primary interviews and secondary research from a variety of sources such as Plastic Europe, Packaging Digest, Plastic Today, PMMI - The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies. Primary research involved in this report includes extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments. These data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of profiles of primary respondents is depicted in the figure below.

MarketsandMarkets projects that the rigid plastic packaging market size by value will grow and reach USD 262.68 Billion by 2021 at a CAGR of 5.71% between 2016 and 2021. The market is growing in accordance with the growth trends of the converting and packaging industries. Factors such as increase in demand from fresh food & beverages, home & personal care goods, and pharmaceutical industries; and growth of the retail industry have driven the global rigid plastic packaging market.

The rigid plastic packaging market has been segmented on the basis of type, production process, material, application, and region. On the basis of type, bottles & jars accounted for the largest market share, in terms of both volume and value in 2015. On the basis of production process, the injection molding accounted for the largest market due to factors such as faster production process as well as low production waste.

On the basis of material, PE accounted for the largest market share, in terms of both volume and value in 2015. On the basis of application, the beverage segment accounted for the largest market share, in terms of both volume and value. Increase in disposable incomes of people in developing countries and change in preferences of manufacturers for convenient packaging are some of the factors that are driving the rigid plastic packaging market.

On the basis of key regions, the market for rigid plastic packaging has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World (RoW). Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest share among all the regions in 2015. This is mainly due to the emerging economies in China and India, coupled with growth in applications of rigid plastic packaging in the food, beverage, and healthcare industries.

High cost of initial setup is a major challenge, whereas fluctuating demand patterns and advancements of alternative technologies are expected to be the burning issues for the market. Recycling and environmental concerns also pose a challenge to the rigid plastic packaging manufacturer.
