Plastics Market Report – Key Takeaways:
The Polyethylene segment dominates the plastics market revenue of $153 billion in 2023 owing to low-cost versatility, and durability. Several types of polyethylene such as Low-density polyethylene (LDPE), High-density polyethylene (HDPE) and others are used in a variety of applications including packaging, construction, consumer goods and agriculture. The low cost, high production yield and versatility of PE make it a popular choice for manufacturers and suppliers of plastic products.
The packaging sector dominated the plastics market share of 34% in 2023 owning to the flexible, lower cost of production, lightweight, easier to handle and heat-resistant packaging. They can be molded into various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for packaging a wide range of products such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care and household goods. A third of the 141 million plastic packaging tonnes produced worldwide each year spills from collection systems and contaminates the environment. Each year, 1.8 billion tonnes of carbon emissions1b are produced by the production of all this plastic. There must be drastic action taken. The Ellen Macarthur Foundation asserts that “we need to transform the way that plastics are designed, used, and recycled. Recycling and reduction alone won’t solve the problem of plastic pollution.
Asia-pacific region has contributed nearly half of the plastics market share in 2023 owing to factors increasing demand from end-use industries, rapidly growing populations and economies, and favorable government policies supporting the plastic industry. Countries like China, India, and South Korea are major contributors to the growth of the market in the region. As per the Plastics Europe report, China produced 32% of the world’s plastic materials in 2022, making it the top plastic producer in the world.
Increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly products including biodegradable, plant-based plastic, bioplastics are presenting new opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers of plastics, particularly in the packaging industry. The development of new technologies and innovations in the plastics such as biodegradable and recycled plastics is also creating new opportunities in the plastics industry growth.
