LDPE Containers Market: An Overview
Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) is one of the most commonly used form of polyethylene on the commercial level. Bags, pouches, bottles, jars etc. can be made using LDPE resin. LDPE containers are chemically inert which makes them a viable option for packaging of chemicals, food & beverages and more. High mechanical strength and barrier properties have resulted in extended applications of LDPE containers.
LDPE Containers Market: Dynamics
Small scale manufacturers in various end use industries tend to look for economic solutions for packaging to reduce their overall production cost. LDPE containers require low cost for their production when compared to PP, PET and other plastic containers, which is why these manufacturers prefer LDPE containers for packaging. Also, LDPE containers can be used for putting branding and promotional information as it is economical than using other branding tools. All these factors are expected to drive the global LDPE containers market during the forecast period. However, with the rising awareness regarding environmental issues, the demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions is on hike. Emphasis is on usage of recyclable plastic containers, has resulted in decreased usage of conventional LDPE containers. Most plastic container manufacturers are using specialty ingredients along with the basic polymer such as oxo-biodegradable materials to make their packaging solution sustainable. Also, recyclable and reusable bottles and jars are gaining traction. Availability of many alternative packaging solutions might restrict the demand for LDPE containers.
Various innovative, cost-effective and sustainable packaging solutions are emerging in the global LDPE containers market. Also, volatility in the cost of raw materials has been a restraining factor for the industry, over the past few years. The rising concerns over environmental issues regarding single use plastic is expected to remain a major restraining factor in the growth of LDPE containers market.
