Introduction of Sustainable Packaging Solutions
The rising consumer environmental consciousness is encouraging manufacturers to adopt recyclable and biodegradable materials, which is fueling the market. Moreover, government bodies and industry players are emphasizing on minimizing plastic waste, thereby promoting the usage of materials that have a lower impact on the environment. For instance, in March 2024, Mr. Sanjay Chincholikar, business head of Cosmo Plastech & Cosmo Sunshield, while interacting with the Asia Business Outlook, highlighted the major breakthroughs in the rigid packaging industry and how companies are tailoring their offerings to the environmental-conscious individuals. Besides this, prominent companies are widely incorporating recycled content into rigid plastic packaging, utilizing industrial scrap or post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics to minimize reliance on virgin materials and divert waste from landfills. For example, in March 2024, Little Rock, one of the film recycling companies based in Arkansas, launched Daily good Bags for everyday household use. In addition, these bags are made with as much as 97% of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic, resulting in lower environmental impacts compared to trash bags made without recycled content. In line with this, in February 2024, Amcor signed a deal with Cadbury Australia, a subsidiary of Mondelez International, to supply approximately 1,000 tons of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic to wrap the core chocolate product range of the company. Additionally, the initiative is set to elevate Cadbury's efforts to minimize its reliance on virgin plastic for packaging its chocolate range. Apart from this, numerous advancements in biodegradable and compostable plastics are elevating the demand for environmentally conscious packaging solutions, thereby creating a positive rigid plastic packaging market outlook. For example, in March 2022, Amazon collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy's BOTTLE Consortium, led by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, to develop technology that enabled bio-based and biodegradable plastic recycling.
Increasing Demand for convenience
Individuals across the globe are seeking packaging that preserves the quality of the product and offers portability. Consequently, the durability and versatility provided by rigid plastic packaging make it a preferred choice for consumer convenience. Furthermore, resealable closures, including screw caps or flip-tops, are commonly found on rigid plastic containers for products like condiments, beverages, personal care items, etc. These closures aid in preserving product freshness and preventing spills, thereby extending the shelf life of packaged goods. For example, in April 2024, Guillin Group's Fresh produce business unit launched innovative rPET, carton, and hybrid solutions that offer convenience to consumers without compromising on product quality. In line with this, the inflating popularity of on-the-go packaging formats, such as cups, pouches, and bottles, made from rigid plastics is further gaining extensive traction, thereby stimulating the rigid plastic packaging market demand. For instance, in April 2024, as part of a commitment to minimize its carbon, water, and waste footprints in half by 2030, Starbucks has launched new plastic cold cups that are between 10 to 20% smaller than the current cup sizes.
Introduction of Smart Packaging
Rigid plastic packaging is integral to the implementation and development of smart packaging solutions. Besides this, smart packaging solutions enable interactive experiences, such as augmented reality (AR) features or personalized content accessible via smartphone apps, thereby improving consumer engagement and brand loyalty. For example, in April 2024, DS Smith, one of the sustainable packaging solutions providers, entered a partnership with Bioenzymatic Fuel Cells (BeFC) to launch smart packaging solutions. Apart from this, extensive investments in R&D activities are further elevating the rigid plastic packaging market revenue.
