New developments in the packaging industry, such as CO2RE foaming technology, big data, and IoT integration, are expected to drive the market going forward. Convenience features, such as resealable packs, easy-opening, stand-up pouches, and smaller pack sizes for single-servings, are being introduced, and more promotional packs and brand extensions are being developed to ensure customer loyalty. Similarly, the recent development of biodegradable plastics, which degrade naturally from the actions of microorganisms such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, is gaining traction. These developments in packaging will increase the consumption of plastics, which will drive the market's growth. Oil price volatility is likely to have a negative impact on the plastic material and resin market as a significant decline and increase in oil prices negatively impact government and consumer spending. The decline in oil prices is having a negative impact on government spending in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and the UAE (United Arab Emirates), which are largely dependent on revenues generated through crude oil exports, whereas a significant increase in oil prices has resulted in a spurt in inflation, current account deficit, and fiscal deficit in countries such as India and China, which predominantly import oil. For instance, the Saudi government is expected to cut down its spending from 1.05 trillion riyals ($280 billion) in 2019 to 1.02 trillion riyals ($270 billion) in 2020 and to 955 billion riyals ($255 billion) by 2022 due to a significant decline in revenues generated from oil exports, thereby affecting the market. This high volatility in the oil process is further expected to negatively impact the market going forward. The search for new characteristics for plastic materials and innovations in the manufacturing process have led to the development of various high-performance plastics. For example, smart polymers are materials that can change based on external environmental stimuli. A product that is a result of a combination of nanotechnology and plastic engineering.

It is a convenient, self-administrable, and fast-dissolving dosage form for the delivery of medications, which makes it a versatile drug delivery platform. Thin films are taken orally and do not require water to be swallowed to absorb a drug. OTF is more patient-friendly due to its rapid dissolution rate. Due to these reasons, the demand for thin-film drug delivery systems is increasing, which is bringing more demand for oral thin films as well. For instance, in January 2021, a Turkish Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences report shows that the global thin-film pharmaceutical products market is expected to increase from $7 billion in 2015 to over $15 billion by the end of 2024. It estimates that there will be an increase of 117% in 10 years. Thus, increasing demand for thin-film drug delivery systems is driving the growth of the oral thin film market. The rapidly growing investment in research and development (R&D) by leading players has propelled the growth of the oral thin film market. Major companies operating in the oral thin films market are focused on investing in research and development of fast dissolving oral thin films to strengthen their position by implementing new platform technologies such as soluleaves, XGEL, and waferTab.

Plastic films and sheets refer to a continuous form of plastic material that is thin and wound on a core, or cut into sheets. Plastic films are thinner in nature than plastic sheets and have a thickness of 0.6 mm to 0.10 mm or thicker. These are used by various industries as these sheets are environmentally friendly, multi-purpose plastic material, wrinkle and weather resistant, reusable, durable in nature, and recyclable. The main types of plastic films and sheets are polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, rubber, and other types. Polypropylene is used to create the synthetic resin known as polypropylene. The various applications include food packaging, stretch film, shrink film, heavy-duty bags, film on a reel, and other applications. The various end users involved automotives, aerospace and aviation, packaging, food and beverages, building and construction, healthcare, printing, agriculture, and other end-users.
