Market Overview:
The global plastic bag market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2018-2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to factors such as, increasing demand for bio-based plastics, rising awareness about environment conservation and growing application areas of plastic bags. However, volatility in prices of raw materials and stringent government regulations are some of the major factors restraining the growth of this market. Based on type, PE bags held a dominant share in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. PP bags are projected to be the fastest growing segment due to their properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance against chemicals.
Product Definition:
A plastic bag is a type of container made of thin, flexible plastic film, typically used to store lightweight items.
PE:
Polyethylene or PE is a polymer with the formula (CH2)n, where n is usually 2 but can be any number. It has been called the plastic of last resort because it is used in almost every type of consumer product under the sun. From milk bottles to shampoo bottles and beyond, PE dominates plastics market due to its versatility and low cost compared to other materials such as polycarbonate or PVC.
PP:
Polypropylene (PP) is a lightweight, strong, and durable plastic. It can be easily recycled and has excellent chemical & temperature resistance properties. PP bags are used for packaging various products such as frozen food, meat & seafood, bread & bakery items among others.
The global polypropylene market size was valued at USD 33 billion in 2015.
Application Insights:
The food packaging and fresh keeping application segment led the market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing demand for packaged foods across the globe. The daily chemical packaging application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand for products with single-use functionality, such as personal care & cosmetics and household cleaners among others.
The medical care segment is projected to exhibit a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 on account of high usage rates of polyethylene bags in healthcare industry for various purposes including storing blood samples at hospitals and clinics among others. Increasing use of plastics in medical applications has resulted in higher product consumption globally which will drive growth over the forecast period significantly.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of plastic production owing to cheap labor cost, availability of raw materials, and low manufacturing cost as compared to other regions. China is one of the largest producers and consumers of plastic bags across Asia Pacific.
The government has imposed restrictions on single-use plastics in an attempt to reduce pollution caused by these products such as disposable coffee cups, plates, cutlery etc., which will positively impact market growth over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing population and disposable income: The global population is projected to grow from 7.3 billion in 2014 to 9.7 billion by 2050, according to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). This will result in an increase in demand for consumer goods, including plastic bags. At the same time, rising incomes will lead to increased consumption of packaged products that are often supplied with plastic bags.
- Urbanization: As more people move into cities, there is an increasing demand for convenient packaging solutions such as plastic bags that can be used for multiple purposes. In addition, growing awareness about the environmental impact of traditional packaging materials such as paper and cardboard is prompting consumers to switch to reusable alternatives like plastic bags.
