Plastic resins require high expertise and skills for their production. They are lighter than other materials. A wide variety of resins are available to meet particular needs. Adhesive resins form a solid bond between dissimilar materials, while sealant resins offer leak-free solidness. Barrier resins protect freshness; decrease flavor loss; and increase shelf-life. Modifier resins help enhance performance of the packaging structure. Peelable resins are used for lids. Packaging resins for molded products offer exceptional flexibility and durability.
In terms of type, the packaging resins market can be segmented into PP, LDPE, HDPE, PS & EPS, PET, and PVC. Among these, LDPE is anticipated to be the leading segment during the forecast period, owing to flexibility, toughness, moisture barrier, and chemical resistance offered by LDPE. The affordability of LDPE resins and their varied usage in several sectors are likely to be key factors driving the packaging resins market from 2018 to 2026.
HDPE resins are mostly used for the manufacture of bottles for milk, water, juices, cosmetics, shampoos, dish and laundry detergents, and household cleaners. LDPE resins are used in packaging applications such as container bags for dry cleaning, newspapers, bread, frozen foods, fresh produce, and household garbage.
Food service items such as cups, plates, bowls, cutlery, hinged takeout containers, and meat and poultry trays are made with either foamed or non-foamed polystyrene (PS) resins. Based on application, the packaging resins market has been divided into food & beverages, consumer goods, health care, industrial, and others.
Based on region, the global packaging resins market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. In terms of consumption, Asia Pacific held a major share of the global packaging resins market in 2017. This trend is likely to continue during the forecast period also.
The packaging resins market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a significant pace during the forecast period. This is due to robust growth of several end-use industries such as food & beverages and rise in population in the region. Rapid economic growth and emergence of a large-sized middle class in China and India have led to a wide customer base for food, beverages, and FMCG products
