Report
Plastics are the most widely used rigid packaging material. This can be attributed to the high
chemical resistance, high strength and toughness compared to glass which is brittle. Its low
weight allows greater flexibility during transit, which results in both space and fuel
efficiency. Moreover, plastic is more easily recycled than glass, which has resulted in its
dominance in the rigid packaging market. Despite its numerous advantages, plastic is
non-biodegradable and is a major source for environmental pollution, which has resulted in
the shift towards sustainable packaging. Paper & paperboard are increasingly being utilized
as a replacement for plastic packaging. In 2016, according to the U.S. Forest and Paper
Association, the country recycled over 70% of its used paper. Further, metal, wood and glass
are losing importance due to their high manufacturing costs and lack of flexibility.
Asia Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth in rigid packaging market. High
demand for rigid packaging products in the pharmaceutical industry in emerging economies
such as India and China is one of the major factors driving the demand for rigid packaging in
the region. Increasing infant and geriatric population has led to the heightened demand for
healthcare products. Moreover, affordable healthcare in countries such as Thailand and India
has boosted medical tourism sector in the region. According to the Indian Ministry of
Tourism and Culture, in 2016, 361,060 foreign patients visited India for medical treatments.
North America and Europe markets are also expected to exhibit significant growth due to
high consumption of consumer goods and electronics. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical
industry in these regions is highly matured and due to the high prevalence of lifestyle
diseases in these regions, the market in the region is projected to witness significant growth
during the forecast period. The rigid packaging market in North America was valued at US$
74.4 billion in 2016, while Europe stood at US$ 98.6 billion in the same year.
The GCC in Middle East has a populace with high disposable incomes, which has led to
increasing consumerism. Electronics and consumer goods sales have significantly risen,
driving the rigid packaging industry as well. Political and economic turmoil in Syria, Iraq and
Iran has resulted in a declining market in these countries. This has been compensated by high
growth in the GCC countries.
The rigid packaging market in Latin America is experiencing a significant growth at present.
Brazil has the fourth largest pharmaceutical industry in the world. Argentina, Mexico and
Brazil are also among the largest producers of non-patented generic drugs, which are
exported to over 40 countries. Mexico being a member of North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), has access to the lucrative markets of U.S and Canada which has
resulted in Mexico becoming a manufacturing hub for international pharmaceutical
companies. However, other end use industries in Latin America are stagnant and may hinder
market growth. The Latin America rigid packaging was valued at US$ 61.4 billion in 2016
and is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.31% during the forecast period.Figure 1. Global
