Blow Molded Plastic Bottles Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The growing demand for packaged beverages is notably driving the blow molded plastic bottles market growth, although factors such as the growing global demand for pouch packaging solutions may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the blow molded plastic bottles industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Blow Molded Plastic Bottles Market Driver
The growing demand for packaged beverages is one of the key factors driving the blow-molded plastic bottles market growth. Changing consumer lifestyles is increasing the demand for on-the-go beverage products. Significantly, beverage packaging companies use plastic packaging solutions such as PET, polystyrene, and PP for packaging fluids or liquids. Moreover, the rising consumption of bottled water across the world is significantly contributing to the sales of packaged beverages. Thus, the increase in the consumption of bottled water will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Key Blow Molded Plastic Bottles Market Trend
Growing demand for bio-PET material globally is one of the key blow-molded plastic bottles market trends fueling the market growth. Bio-PET is widely used in the manufacturing of PET bottles, which are widely used in the packaging of consumer, personal care, and beverage products. Terephthalic acid is widely derived from paraxylene, which is obtained from biomass along with isobutanol as an intermediate product. Thus, the increasing use of Bio-PET material in the packaging industry due to its environmental benefits will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Blow Molded Plastic Bottles Market Challenge
Growing global demand for pouch packaging solutions is one of the key factors challenging the blow molded plastic bottles market growth. The rigidity of plastic packaging increases the weight of the consignment and the space requirements during transportation and storage. Therefore, end-user industries such as beverages, personal care, and pharmaceuticals are opting for flexible packaging solutions to improve efficiency in the supply chain. Moreover, the low cost of printing for pouch packaging solutions is increasing their use in the beverages and personal care industries. Therefore, the increased demand for pouch packaging solutions will restrict the growth of the market during the forecast period.
This blow molded plastic bottles market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.

- adoption of multichannel marketing strategies: The key vendors in the market are striving to expand their target customer base by investing in marketing and promotional activities. Large specialized consumer service providers aim at strengthening their presence by investing in brand visibility activities, celebrity endorsements, and marketing through channels such as television, radio, the Internet, print media, posters, and direct mails. The competitors also use a targeted advertising approach and launch advertisements that are designed and crafted to promote the services and communicate the brand positioning.
- attrition and training: Professional, skilled, and unskilled workforce is required to provide specialized consumer services. However, there is a shortage of skilled and professional workforce to meet the demand. For instance, in security services, a skilled workforce is required when new monitoring devices and security gadgets are developed and adopted. Several vendors provide rigorous training to their employees about the handling of critical tasks while serving specialized consumer services. However, the retention of such a workforce is a major challenge.
