Tube, Cups and Pots to be the fastest growing type in Rigid Plastic Packaging during forecast period
Rigid plastic tubs, cups, and pots are used in the food service and retail industry to package anything from cream and dips to insecticides. Cups are precision thermoformed, which are sealed using a heat sealable flexible lid. These cups generally have flat edges for perfect seals. Some rigid cups also have rolled rims. These products are generally used to pack dairy products such as cream, yogurt, and dairy desserts. The segment is projected to witness the highest growth rate as a result of the growing demand for single-serve packs and properties such as cost-effectiveness, portion control, and less environmental impact.
Healthcare is to be the 3rd largest markets share segment in the Rigid Plastic Packaging Market during the forecast period
Healthcare products, which include pharmaceutical and medical products, are required to be protected from light, moisture, contamination, physical damage, or anything that can alter the quality of the products. The packaging quality of healthcare products plays a vital role in ensuring their protection. It involves the manufacture of a wide range of packaging materials such as paper, paperboard, cardboard, and rigid plastic packaging material. The growth in rigid plastic packaging is estimated to continue in global medication consumption, which is expected to be significantly driven by the aging demographic, leading to the increasing number of diseases and disorders. This will increase the demand for pharmaceutical products, which will further support the growth in rigid plastic packaging.
By raw material, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) to be the 3rd largest share in the Rigid Plastic Packaging Market during the forecast period
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a general-purpose thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the polyester family of polymers. Polyester resins are known for their excellent combination of properties such as mechanical, thermal, chemical resistance as well as dimensional stability attributes include superior transparency equal to that of glass, high mechanical strength, high rigidity at lower wall thickness, high flexibility, and high puncture resistance. These attributes enable the production of dimensionally stable rigid packaging with relatively small wall thickness and excellent oxygen barrier qualities, which make it suitable for packaging fresh foodstuffs. The application of polyethylene terephthalate takes place in industries such as food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, box making, and electronics.
By Production Process, Blow Molding is to be the fastest growing in Rigid Plastic Packaging market during forecast period
Injection blow molding is used for the production of hollow plastic quantities. Products such as small medical and single-serving bottles are prepared using injection blow molding. Extrusion blow molding can be used to process different polymers such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride. Stretch blow molding applications include jars, bottles, and similar containers because it produces items of excellent visual and dimensional quality compared to extrusion blow molding. Many of the same materials used in blow molding are also good choices for injection molding, including HDPE, PS, PU, PP, and LDPE. There is a range of additional materials that are more uniquely suited for the solid products produced with injection molding. HDPE is the most commonly blow-molded plastic material. It is used in a vast array of products, including bottles for consumer liquids such as shampoos and motor oils, coolers, play structures, fuel tanks, industrial drums, and carrying cases.
