COVID-19の発生は、輸送、建設、エレクトロニクスなどの関連産業に悪影響を及ぼし、その結果、プラスチックフィルムとシートの世界市場にも影響を及ぼしました。サプライチェーンの混乱、業務上の課題、労働力の減少が、世界のフィルム・シートの需給に影響を及ぼしました。また、製造業務、出張の制限、輸出入の制限などにより、市場の拡大が制約されました。しかし、パンデミック時には、包装分野やヘルスケア分野での需要が高まりました。パンデミック時には、食品や飲料の包装ソリューションに加え、バリアやフェイスシールドの需要が増加した結果、市場が拡大しました。

予測期間中、高密度ポリエチレン（HDPE）セグメントが最大となる見込み

高密度ポリエチレン（HDPE）セグメントは、有利な成長を遂げると推定されます。HDPEは食品包装事業で一般的に使用されており、FDAの認可を受けています。ホウ素系HDは、その強固な放射線遮蔽性から、原子力施設用途に採用されています。ペブル仕上げの押出HDPEシートも選択肢の一つです。それは肉の包装およびbutcheringを含むいろいろな最終用途の企業のまな板として、役立つ。高い衝撃強度、耐薬品性、耐腐食性、耐摩耗性、低摩擦係数、優れた電気特性、耐湿性・耐臭性は、HDPEシートの特色のほんの一部です。

予測期間中、パッケージング分野のCAGRが最も高くなると予想される

パッケージング分野は、予測期間中に最も速いCAGRの成長を示すと予想されています。プラスチックシートとフィルムは、数多くの分野で包装用途に使用されるようになってきています。プラスチックの成長と革新は、人口統計の変化、アクティブなライフスタイル、持続可能性に対する意識の高まりによって推進されています。これにより、消費財や飲食品を含む重要な産業において、新たなマーケティングの機会が生まれています。予測期間中、業界の成長は、世界の製造業の好調と、中南米やアジア太平洋地域の発展途上国での需要増に後押しされるものと思われます。

最もシェアの高い地域

予測期間中、アジア太平洋地域が最大の市場シェアを占めると予想されます。この拡大は、中国やインドなどの発展途上国における食品および医薬品分野の急成長に起因しています。APAC地域の主な成長市場は、中国、インド、東南アジアと予想されます。建設、包装、電気・電子の各業界では、製造業の拡大が製品需要を牽引するものと思われます。近年、中国とインドでは、欧米市場からの技術移転により、自動車生産台数が急増しています。

CAGRが最も高い地域

予測期間中、欧州のCAGRが最も高くなると予測されます。欧州の地場産業で最も重要なアプリケーションカテゴリーは包装です。包装に使用されるプラスチックシートやフィルムは、ドイツ、フランス、イタリアで製薬業界が生産拠点を製造コストの低い国々に移した結果、成長が鈍化しており、その影響を受けると予測されます。しかし、欧州の製薬業界における研究開発費の増加により、予測期間中の製品需要は増加することが予想されます。また、ドイツ、英国、フランス、イタリアでは、パーソナルケア用品の市場が拡大しており、予測期間中に収益性が高まると予想されます。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Plastic Films and Sheets Market is accounted for $130.39 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $201.24 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The market for plastic films and sheets comprises of sales of these products by entities (organisations, sole proprietors, and partnerships), which are employed by numerous industries since the sheets are recyclable, reusable, made of durable plastic, and resistant to weather and wrinkles. The terms "plastic films and sheets" describe a continuous, thin, wound-on-a-core, or cut-into-sheets form of plastic material. Plastic films typically have a thickness of 0.6 mm to 0.10 mm or more and are thinner than plastic sheets.

According to numbers generated by a Harris Poll chartered by the Flexible Packaging, 83% of all brand owners are currently using flexible packaging of some type. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Japan, in 2018, approximately 2.53 million tons of plastic films and sheets were produced in Japan, representing a slight increase from around 2.46 million tons in 2016.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising demand for bi-axially oriented films

Films that are bi-axially oriented have the ability to stretch in two separate directions. The film's properties can change depending on how it is oriented, including its high rigidity, low elongation, and lustrousness. Electrical and electronics, packaging, photography, graphics, and industrial niche applications all require BOPP films. Many producers of plastic films were compelled to focus their manufacturing efforts and invest in bi-axially oriented film as a result of the growing demand for these films. The main use for these films is food packing. Thus, the need for bi-axially oriented films has grown along with the development of the food packaging business in developing nations. As it is non-toxic and serves as an olfactory barrier, it is the material of choice for food packaging. Stretching bi-axial films in both the machine direction (MD) and the transverse direction (TD) improves their mechanical, optical, and barrier properties.

Restraint:

Volatile price of raw material and lack of skilled labor

The synthetic polymers used to make plastic films and sheets, such as polyvinyl chloride, cast polypropylene, aliphatic polyamides, and polyethylene, are manufactured from a variety of resources, including biomass and crude oil. Therefore, any change in the price of these raw materials prevents the market from expanding. However, the availability of skilled personnel is also impeding the market's expansion. The need for skilled labour has increased due to technological advancement. The shortage of skilled labour and the fluctuating cost of raw materials are impeding market expansion. Additionally, the public's increased awareness of environmental issues and the negative effects that plastic items have on both the environment and human health also restrains the market's expansion.

Opportunity:

Positive outlook for specialty films

Specialty films differ from normal films in that they are formed of particular polymers and have unique properties. These films fall under the categories of polyester, nylon, polyvinyl butyl, and polyolefin films. Specialty films are utilised in a variety of packaging and non-packaging applications and are more expensive than commodity films. Specialty plastic films are in more demand than conventional commercial films. The market for specialised films is driven by the demand for multi-layer barrier films. Such films are the ideal option for the meat packing business since they are non-porous and have light barrier qualities. The use of such films in the packaging of medications and cosmetics is also anticipated to stimulate demand for them. The fastest surge in demand is being seen for specialised films made of biodegradable and compostable materials.

Threat:

Recyclability of plastics

Flexible plastic's ability to be recycled is a problem for the environment and society as well as a significant obstacle for both the packaging and non-packaging industries. In comparison to single-layer flexible plastics, the process of recycling multiple-layer flexible plastics is more involved and sophisticated. It is challenging to separate multi-layer flexible plastic films or packaging from bulk garbage because they contain a variety of polymer kinds and inks. It is necessary to evaluate, identify, and recycle each layer separately. Polypropylene (PE) films and other plastics used for flexible plastics packaging get stuck in the machine during the recycling process, causing disruption and increasing production costs and time.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak had a negative effect on related industries like transportation, construction, and electronics, among others, which in turn had an impact on the global market for plastic films and sheets. Disrupted supply chains, operational challenges, and a decreased workforce had an influence on demand and supply of and sheets globally. The market's expansion was also constrained by manufacturing operations, travel limitations, and limited import and export activity. Nevertheless, during the pandemic, the industry saw an upsurge in demand from the packaging and healthcare sectors. During the pandemic, the market grew as a result of increased demand for barriers and face shields as well as packaging solutions for food and beverages.

The high density polyethylene (HDPE) segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The high density polyethylene (HDPE) segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. HDPE is commonly used in the food packaging business and has FDA approval. Borated HD is employed in nuclear facility applications because of its robust radiation shielding. Pebble-finish extruded HDPE sheet is an option. It serves as a cutting board in a variety of end-use industries, including meat packaging and butchering. High impact strength, chemical and corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, low friction coefficient, good electrical properties, and moisture and odour resistance are just a few of HDPE sheet's specialties.

The packaging segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The packaging segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Plastic sheets and films are becoming more and more common in packaging applications across numerous sectors. The growth and innovation of plastics are being driven by changing demographics, active lifestyles, and growing sustainability attitudes. This is opening up new marketing opportunities in important industries including consumer products and food & beverage. Over the course of the projected period, the industry's growth is likely to be aided by a strong manufacturing base in the worldwide sector and rising demand in developing nations in Central and South America and Asia Pacific.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. This expansion can be ascribed to the quickly growing food and pharmaceutical sectors in developing nations like China and India. The APAC region's main growth markets are anticipated to be China, India, and Southeast Asia. The demand for products in the construction, packaging, and electrical & electronics industries will be driven by the expanding manufacturing sector. Recent years have seen an upsurge in car production in China and India due to technology transfer from western markets.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The most significant application category in the local industry in Europe was packaging. Plastic sheets and films used in packaging are expected to be impacted by the pharmaceutical industry's slowing growth in Germany, France, and Italy as a result of moving production bases to nations with low manufacturing costs. However, it is anticipated that increased R&D expenditures in Europe's pharmaceutical sector will tangentially boost product demand during the predicted period. Additionally, it is anticipated that the growing markets for personal care goods in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy would be profitable during the projected period.
