Converted Plastic Packaging Market Scope and Segmentation      

Market Definition

Converted packaging uses non-rigid materials to package products, enabling more affordable and customizable options. It is a modern method used by several end-user industries in the packaging industry, but it has gained popularity because of its high effectiveness and low cost. Bags, pouches, liners, wraps, roll stock, and other flexible products, produced from paper, plastic, film, aluminum foil, or any combination of those materials fall under converted plastic packaging.

Converted Plastic Packaging Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Demand from consumers for smart packaging is rising

The demand for packaging that conveys and upholds product quality throughout the supply chain is the primary cause of this rise. Smart labeling and augmented reality are two methods for incorporating innovative packaging into current formats. These labels not only act as a deterrent to theft but also assist in tracking down items as they move throughout the distribution network. Smart labels can notify a brand or a customer when a product monitors temperature and quality. Consumers' urge to hoard and their impulsive purchases of food, drink, and home care products has increased the demand for packaging. Since smart packaging incorporates converted plastic as packaging materials, the above factors will work in the market's favor.

• Improved converted packaging films that put durability and tear resistance, food safety, and freshness first

The main driving force behind produce packaging is convenience. Packaging with convenience is becoming more and more in demand from consumers. Since converted plastic films have distinct barrier properties that help with improved protection and shelf life, they are increasingly used in food and beverage packaging. Manufacturers are developing advanced packaging films focusing on tearing resistance, food safety and freshness, secure delivery and storage, and environmental protection from light, moisture, temperature, and gas. Converted packaging films preserve freshness while extending perishable goods' shelf life.

Opportunities

• Growth of the e-commerce industry is a market opportunity

The development of technology has led to a dramatic rise in e-commerce across all global economies. More companies are using online channels to communicate with customers as the e-commerce sector grows and becomes commonplace in retail. Strong product packaging is undoubtedly significant in an online environment, where brands constantly review their top-down marketing plans to gain an edge in a fiercely competitive market. Converted packaging offers e-commerce businesses multiple benefits, including the ability to offer customers a variety of product packaging options. This will work in the market's favor.

Restraints/Challenges

• Challenges in recycling converted packaging products

Recycling is not financially feasible because it requires numerous processes to separate the materials. End users only use high-quality material output, so low-quality materials are disposed of or sent to energy recovery facilities. Additionally, there is currently a limited supply of recycled plastics. Converters need a tremendous amount of plastics, but the supply side can still not keep up with the enormous demand. This is one of the reasons recycled plastic adoption rates are currently low and why the global converted packaging market is facing a recycling challenge. Any change in quantity or quality immediately affects the cost of the finished goods and is, therefore, not currently economically feasible.
