Market Challenges

• The issue of plastic pollution, particularly from beverage packaging in the form of plastic bottles, poses significant challenges to both the environment and public health. These bottles can take up to 800 years to decompose in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution. Improper disposal of plastic bottles can lead to health risks, contaminated water sources, and clogged drainage systems. As a result, many governments and organizations have taken actions such as bans and taxes on plastic bags and bottles. Consumers are increasingly demanding eco-friendly alternatives due to heightened awareness of environmental issues. Strict regulations on single-use plastics, including plastic bottles, are being implemented by governments like India. These factors are anticipated to hinder the growth of the global beverage packaging market during the forecast period.

1.1 Rigid plastics- Rigid plastics, particularly PET, polystyrene, and polypropylene (PP), are increasingly preferred for beverage packaging due to their advantages over metal and glass. These materials offer lightweight, shatterproof, and flexible properties, enabling various shapes and sizes. The demand for PET bottles is particularly high due to the growing preference for bottled water and healthy beverages like juices and dairy products. The health-conscious consumer trend and busy lifestyles are driving this demand. However, concerns over plastic usage and regulations have led some vendors to introduce plastic-free bottles, such as Diageo's Johnnie Walker scotch whiskey in plastic-free bottles from 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed operational challenges for vendors, with Mondi announcing a temporary shutdown in South Africa. These factors may impact the demand for rigid plastic packaging and potentially slow down the growth of the global beverage packaging market.
