Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Resin is a naturally occurring substance that can be found in a variety of coniferous plants. However, resins are regarded as a viscous substance in the chemical industry and can either be sourced from plants or be synthetic. Because many plants manufacture natural resins, external forces can cause harm to the outer layer that serves as the plant's defence against parasites and other pathogens. The resin is a synthetic substance that is used commercially to create products including varnish, food glazing, adhesives, nail polish, and scents.

Barrier Resin Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Lower Costs and Production Waste

The decrease in production costs and waste is the main element boosting the market for barrier resin. Manufacturers can make more packaging with less waste by using barrier resin. For instance, aseptic filling can create plastic barrier structures, which use less energy. Additionally, because of its modest weight, it can convey more items without needing extra packaging. Additionally, practical packaging that is also reasonably priced aids in expanding the market for high-quality goods. Barrier resins are increasingly being utilized in manufacturing to reduce waste since they provide these benefits, which has fueled the expansion of the barrier resin market.

• Increased Utilization across Food and Beverages

The barrier resins have significantly aided in the expansion of this market due to their ability to replace glass and cans in the food and beverage sectors. Barrier resins can also be shaped and made to fit any size and are also readily moldable. The shelf life of foods including canned food, meat, dairy goods, and carbonated beverages is also improved by barrier resins.

Furthermore, numerous medications have been developed as a result of the expansion of improved production techniques supported by technical innovation and greater player consolidation, directly driving up demand for pharmaceutical packaging. Globally, this has accelerated the expansion of barrier resins. Pharmaceutical products such pouches, labels for bottled pharmaceuticals, and push-through packs are typically protected with barrier resins like PVDC and EVOH from light, moisture, oxygen, biological contamination, mechanical damage, and counterfeiting.

Opportunities

• Boost in New Technologies and Techniques

Furthermore, the top businesses are increasing the output of barrier resin manufacturing due to the increased demand for technologically sophisticated packaging materials from emerging economies around the world. In order to enhance the barrier resins' qualities and broaden their uses, industry companies are creating new technologies and techniques. Additionally, numerous initiatives are made to lessen these barriers' negative environmental effects, further extending profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029.

• Burgeoning Demand for Customer-Friendly Packaging

Additionally, the barrier resins are most commonly employed in packaging solutions to offer customer-friendly packaging to various end-user sectors. Agrochemicals and other products used in agriculture must be packaged in non-reactive materials that do not alter their chemical makeup. Barrier resins allow packing materials to maintain their chemical structure and texture while providing suitable protection against external environmental factors. Barrier resin manufacturers have seen their market share increase as a result of participants in the agrochemical and agricultural industries choosing to export their goods in these containers due to a number of appealing qualities of these materials. This factor is anticipated to further expand the future growth of the barrier resin market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Negative Effects on the Environment

The majority of barrier resins on the market today are comprised of plastic. They are extremely stable and have a very long half-life in the environment after being disposed. The degradation process is slowed down even further by the makers' inclusion of antioxidants, which shield the material from acidic attacks. In addition to this, the manufacture of plastics releases numerous harmful chemicals into the environment, including trichloroethane, acetone, methylene chloride, methyl ethyl ketone, styrene, toluene, and benzene. Additionally, the resins may migrate from the containers in which they are stored into food, eventually being consumed by people or animals and leading to major health issues. Consequently, this factor will hinder the market growth.

• Volatility in Raw Material Prices

The raw constituents including naphtha, natural gas, monoethylene glycol, and crude oil are used to make plastic resins. Most of the world's polyethylene resin comes from crude oil, although natural gas is the main source in the US. Polyethylene terephthalate resins' primary raw ingredient is mono ethylene glycol (MEG). The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that the average spot price for natural gas was USD 2.22 per million Btu in 2020, a considerable decrease from USD 2.82 per million Btu in 2019. Therefore, the will challenge the barrier resin market growth rate.

Moreover, the stringent regulations set by various governments and the growing demand pf bio-based and sustainable barrier resins are also expected to hamper growth of the global barrier resin market.

COVID-19 Impact on Barrier Resin Market

The recent outbreak of coronavirus had a negative impact on the barrier resin market. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world economy throughout the year 2020, and the pharmaceutical industry in particular had to fast adjust to reduce the impact on its operations and the global supply chain of medicines. Prices for raw materials and additives have risen as a result of decreased availability, postponed industrial plans, and shutdowns in some nations. The fundamental issue facing all industry sectors has been the limitation on logistics. When the coronavirus outbreak was at its worst, the countries were largely isolated. There were severe limitations on how much people and things could move. People and cargo were divided between provinces, cities, towns, and even villages in an effort to confine the epidemic. In certain nations, the railways were also suspended, and in those that continued to run, the loading and unloading were hampered by a labor shortage.

The cost of resins and raw materials has skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic due to various restrictions on air travel and a lack of efficiency in the supply chain.
