Plastic products refers to a collective term for all the goods produced from a class of materials, either artificial or natural, that can be molded while still soft and subsequently hardened to maintain the desired shape. The processes used in plastic product manufacturing include compression molding, extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding, and casting. The main types of plastic products are plastics packaging materials and unlaminated film and sheet, plastic pipes and shapes, laminated plastics plate, sheet, and shape, plastics bottle, polystyrene foam products, urethane and other foam product and other plastics product. The plastic material is typically applied for glass-clear packaged foods, such as fresh salads, fruits, cold meats, snacks, and so on. The different technologies include injection molding, extrusion molding, blow molding, others and is used in various sectors such as automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, medical, construction, others. The global plastic products market is segmented – 1) By Type: Plastics Packaging Materials And Unlaminated Film And Sheet, Plastic Pipes And Shapes, Laminated Plastics Plate, Sheet, And Shape, Plastics Bottle, Polystyrene Foam Products, Urethane And Other Foam Product, Other Plastics Product 2) By Technology: Injection Molding, Extrusion Molding, Blow Molding, Other Technologies 3) By End-User Industry: Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Medical, Construction, Other End Users Subsegments Covered: Bags And Pouches, Films And Sheets, Unlaminated Plastics Profile Shape, Plastics Pipe And Pipe Fitting HDPE Plastic Bottles, PET Plastic Bottles, PP Plastic Bottles, Other Plastic Bottles The global plastic products market size will grow from $990.64 billion in 2022 to $1066.84 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of plastic products is expected to grow to $1395.54 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.9%. The plastics products manufacturing industry is affected by the growth of the packaging industry. There are number of new developments in the packaging industry that will drive the demand for plastic materials. Convenience features, such as resealable packs, easy-to-open 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. These developments in packaging will increase the consumption of plastics and are driving the growth of the plastic products market. Major companies in the plastic products market include Amcor Limited, Berry Global Group Inc., Sealed Air Corporation, Avery dennison, Thyssenkrupp AG, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings BV, Brookfield Asset Management, Sekisui Chemical Co. Ltd., Aptar Group, and 3M Company. The outbreak of Corona virus disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the plastic products manufacturing market in 2022 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally including Western Europe, North America and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in halting of manufacturing activities and a decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of 'lock down' and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2021 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the plastic products manufacturing market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan' event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy The practice of using 3D printing in plastic manufacturing is becoming more common. This technology produces solid objects from digital designs by building up multiple layers of plastic, resin, or other materials in a precisely determined shape. The speed and flexibility of this technology can promote innovation and reduce time-to-market. The products produced using 3D printers have good mechanical properties like strength and rigidity. For example, Stratasys developed one such color multi-material 3D printer which can combine colors with multi-material 3D printing. The printer uses cyan, magenta, and yellow colors and plastics and elastomers as base materials to print objects with wide ranges of flexibility and rigidity, transparency, and opacity.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The plastic materials and resins market is expected to grow to $1301.4 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.1%. 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. Major companies in the plastic materials and resins market include Dow Inc., Sinopec Limited, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings BV, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, BASF SE, INEOS AG, DuPont Inc., Alpek SA.B. de C.V, Alfa SA.B. de C.V, and Exxon Mobil. Oil price volatility is likely to have a negative impact on the plastic materials and resins 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. These products have high electrical conductivity, dimensional stability, and are also flame retardant, along with resistance to scratches, dents, and heat. These new high-performance plastics have gained rapid acceptance and find their applications in the medical, electronics, food packaging, automotive, and aerospace sectors. For instance, some of the major developments in plastic materials include plastics from potatoes and virgin PET from discarded textile fabric and waste bottles.
