Overview of the global high-density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging market
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global high-density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% by 2020. The major properties of HDPE packaging include stiffness, moldability, and chemical resistance, which make its suitable for use in various types of packaging including bottles, containers, cartons, bags, and others. HDPE packaging products are more attractive as they offer more printing options over substitutes, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). HDPE packaging is available in different colors and helps in product differentiation. The colors of the packaging products increase the aesthetic value of the products and attract the attention of the consumer resulting in more sales of HDPE bottles.
One of the biggest advantages of HDPE is its ability to be recycled. Because of environmental concerns associated with the plastic usage, there are restrictions on the use of HDPE, which has necessitated the recycling trend in this market. The recycling of HDPE packaging products makes it unique among many plastics used in the packaging industry. The developed countries such as the US and the UK have made crucial developments in recycling HDPE and have future targets to increase the recycling rate. Vendors are trying to achieve 80% recycling in HDPE milk bottles.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The market is highly fragmented because of the presence of numerous small vendors who compete on the basis of price, quality, innovation, reputation, distribution, and promotion.

Intense competition prevails in this market, which has led to an increase in M&A, where smaller entities are being acquired by or merged with major players.
