Product Code: SR112024A6946
The global plastic films market size reached US$ 159.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 241.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.54% during 2024-2032. The escalating demand in the agriculture industry, rising utilization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets, and the increasing application of plastic films in nuclear facilities represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A plastic film is a continuous form of plastic material that is thin and rolled on a core or cut into sheets. It comprises anti-blocking agents, such as kaolin and amorphous silicate, to reduce the sticking of film layers during unwinding. It is designed with various aesthetic effects, such as gloss, matte, opaque, transparent, and pearlescent. It is used to provide a no-label look on transparent containers, such as glass and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. A plastic film is more durable and versatile as compared to paper in bathrooms and kitchens. It offers improved product resistance to prevent spillage down the sides of the container. It assists in manufacturing plastic film capacitors with metalized electrodes in direct current (DC) applications due to high electrical properties, a low tendency for self-healing during service, and enhanced insulation resistance. As a result, it finds applications in the healthcare, construction, packaging, electronics, and agriculture industries across the globe.
Plastic Films Market Trends:
At present, the increasing use of plastic films in the agriculture industry to construct greenhouses, low tunnel covers, mulching, and walk-in tunnels represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. Besides this, there is a rise in the utilization of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheets due to several benefits, such as high durability, weather, corrosion and binding-resistance, and waterproofing. This, along with the growing demand for processed food on account of the changing food habits of individuals, is positively influencing the market. In addition, there is an increase in the employment of plastic films in roof flooring, which helps limit leakage and prevent buildings from high and low temperatures across the globe. This, coupled with the rising demand for plastic films in the construction industry as it requires less quantity of paint and cement and gives a smooth texture to the ceiling, is propelling the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing demand for low density polyethylene (LDPE) films in the packaging industry due to high flexibility, tensile strength, and puncture and impact resistance is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the increasing application of plastic films in nuclear facilities to enhance radiation protection is bolstering the growth of the market.
