Packaging Market in India: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a positive impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The shift toward the use of flexible packaging is notably driving the packaging market growth in India, although factors such as government regulations on plastic recycling and the use of single-use plastics may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the packaging industry in India. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Packaging Market Driver in India
Flexible packaging makes use of the best characteristics of paper, aluminum foil, and plastic without compromising the freshness, durability, printability, and barrier protection of the packaged product. They are used as an effective packaging solution to improve the shelf life of products. The features of flexible packaging, such as lightweight, small size, and ease in deposal, have made it an effective option for packaging. Flexible packaging consumes less energy during the manufacturing, transportation, and disposal processes and is an economical packaging method. Flexible packaging also produces less packaging waste when compared to rigid packaging. Such factors have increased the demand for flexible packaging among food and beverage, consumer durable, and pharmaceutical manufacturing companies.
Key Packaging Market Trend in India
The growth of the organized retail sector in India, one of the critical packaging market trends in India, will significantly influence market growth. Retailers prefer flexible packaging as it helps in preserving the quality of products and lengthening their shelf life and can also influence buyers during the purchase decision-making process. Because of the increasing Internet penetration and the growing e-commerce industry in the country, the organized retail industry in India will witness considerable growth. The retail industry is developing in tier-2 and tier-3 cities in India, in addition to the major cities and metros. Factors such as changing demographic profiles, rising disposable incomes, growing urbanization, and changing consumer tastes and preferences are driving the growth of the organized retail market in India.
Key Packaging Market Challenge in India
Generally, some of the plastics used for packaging are non-degradable in nature, and their disposal generates landfill problems. The process of disposing of plastics incurs a high labor and equipment cost. Moreover, due to the rising focus on recyclability, by governments and environmental organizations, plastic manufacturers are focusing on adopting alternate packaging solutions to reduce plastic landfills. The Government of India announced a plan on October 2, 2019, to phase out single-use plastics by 2022. As a result of this, the government has asked e-commerce and manufacturing companies to reduce the use of single-use plastics for packaging. The government has also proposed a plan to curb single-use plastics, including plastic bags, small bottles, cups, plates, straws, and sachets. Such regulations are expected to directly impact the vendors in the market and force end-users to adopt biodegradable packaging materials during the forecast period.
