Industry Details

Ever since 1957, the Plastics Industry in India has made significant achievements as it made a modest but promising beginning by commencing production of Polystyrene. The Phenomenal developments in the plastic machinery sector is coupled with the developments in the petrochemical sector, both of which support the plastic processing sector. Plastic material is gaining notable importance in different spheres of activity and the per capita consumption is increasing at a fast pace. Continuous advancements and developments in Plastic technology, processing machineries, expertise, and cost effective manufacturing is fast replacing the typical materials. On the basis of value added share, the Indian Plastic industry is about 0.5% of India's GDP. The export of plastic products also yields about 1% of the country's exports. The sector has a large presence of small scale companies in the industry, which account for more than 50% turnover of the industry and provides employment to an estimated 0.4 million people in the country. Approximately Rs.100 billion are invested in the form of fixed assets in the plastic processing industry.

Typically, in an emerging market, demand growth for plastics is 2 to 2.5 times the GDP growth. Sadly this is not the case in India where the growth at times has been lower than the GDP growth. The per capita consumption of plastics in India at 5kg is much lower than that of China which averages 25kg. But India could see very soon improvement in the production of Plastic. India today represents range of highly promising opportunities for growth of plastics producers worldwide. The fragmented plastics industry in India is beginning to consolidate, governmental regulations and trade barriers are coming down due to India's recent admission to the WTO, and some large North American plastics manufacturers have already begun doing business here. The Indian Plastic industry is at the verge of high growth rate over about 10%-12% which is contributed by high growth rates, in turn, from the end-user industries. This trend has mainly been driving the automotive sector, since the economy is already showing signs of recovery from the downturn. As the Plastic industry is heavily dependent on reals estate, packaging and automotive sector, launching of new cars in the small segments are expected to drive the demand for plastics.
