COVID-19 Impact on the Global Barrier resins Market

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus or COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020. The virus outbreak wreaked havoc on the global economy, with the lockdown of international borders and the shutdown of economic activities across countries to prevent the spread of COVID-19 resulting in a severe impact on industries across the world.

The global economy has become substantially more interconnected. The adverse consequences of various steps related to the containment of COVID-19 are evident from global supply chain disruptions, weaker demand for imported products and services, and the increase in unemployment rate. Risk aversion has increased in the financial market, with all-time low interest rates and sharp declines in equity and commodity prices. Consumer and business confidence have also reduced significantly. The latest forecasts by multiple sources predict a 2%–4% decrease in the global GDP in 2020. Based on these forecasts, the global economy is expected to recover from 2021, but for some countries, including the US, Germany, and Italy, recovery is predicted to take longer. However, in this fast-changing environment, the full impact of the pandemic on the global economy may not be entirely known. MarketsandMarkets uses three scenario-based approaches (epidemiology, health response, and economic response) to assess the economic impact and recovery period at the global level. Countries are likely to have different impacts and recovery periods.

Barrier Resins Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing use of barrier resins in major end-use industries

The growth for advanced manufacturing processes supported with technological innovation, and increased consolidation of the players have resulted in invention of several drugs, which are directly boosting the pharmaceutical packaging industry. This has boosted the growth of barrier resins, globally. Barrier resins, such as PVDC and EVOH, are primarily used for the protection of pharmaceutical products such as pouches, labels of bottled medicines, and push-through packs against light, moisture, oxygen, biological contamination, mechanical damage, and counterfeiting.

Restraint: Volatility in raw material prices leading to the fluctuation in demand

Plastic resins are derived from raw materials such as naphtha, natural gas, mono ethylene glycol, and crude oil. Polyethylene resin is mainly derived from crude oil across the globe, whereas, in the case of the US, natural gas is primarily used. Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is the key raw material for polyethylene terephthalate resins. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the average natural gas spot price was USD 2.22 per million Btu in 2020, which was significantly lower than USD 2.82 per million Btu in 2019.

Opportunity: Growth in the packaging industry in emerging economies.

Growing economies specially in the APAC region are shifting towards urbanization. The lifestyle changes are supporting the growth of packaged food. The developing countries are focused towards developing more and more industries and the laws and regulations in the developing countries are more flexible as compared to the developed economies such as Europe and USA.

Challenge: Increasing demand for sustainable and bio-degradable resins.

The major challenges for resin manufacturers are the increasing prices and stringent regulations set by various governments. Fluctuations in raw material prices are also a restraining factor for the market. There is growing demand pf bio-based and sustainable barrier resins. The packaging industry is seeking ways to reduce waste.

Food & Beverage packaging industry was the largest market in the year 2020.

Food & beverage industry has been the largest consumer of barrier resins and is expected to grow in a similar manner. It is majorly used in the packaging of food & beverage products such as canned milk, meat, fish, beer, wine, canned vegetables & fruits, and carbonated soft drinks. The use of barrier resins for films in this industry helps eliminate the use of glass and cans; thereby reducing the overall weight of packaging and making the product easy to handle. The use of barrier resins elongates the shelf life, long lasting flavor and quality, prevent air and odor from penetrating the package, and protect sensitive vitamin contents. Barrier resins provide lightweight and durable packaging. Barrier resins can be customized based on the requirement and are easily moldable. The introduction of organic barrier resins is expected to result in increased demand of barrier resins. There is a growing concern about sustainability and plastic waste, which has resulted in restricted use of some barrier resins in the developed countries, the G7 summit held in 2021 also talked about the environmental impact of various industries which use plastics. Organic barrier resins are getting popular in the packaging industry and among consumers. There are various bio-based barrier resins available in the market, for instance, green materials such as sugarcane and bioplastics whose acceptance by a manufacturer as well as consumer may be a challenge. However, polylactic acid (PLA) is suitable for packing small quantities of products like salads. Coca-Cola’s PlantBottle is one such new entry, which may be sustainable and eventually change the scenario for all products packaged in bottles.

The three fastest-growing segments in the market are EVOH, PET, and PA.

EVOH due to its high barrier resistance against oxygen and moisture (required mainly in food packaging applications), is boosting the barrier resins market. In the recent years, there has been significant research on the mechanisms and effects of water absorption by EVOH, leading to a better understanding of its performance in various food processing environments. PET is completely recyclable and can be easily reprocessed into many other products for many different applications. BOPET is an advanced form of PET. Polyvinyl alcohol also known as PVA or PVOH is a crystal-clear, water-soluble thermoplastic derived from polyvinyl acetate through partial or complete hydroxylation. Its physical, chemical and mechanical properties depend on the degree of hydroxylation.

APAC is the largest market in all end-use industries due to the presence of major developing economies and large populations.

APAC is the largest market for barrier resins, accounting for a share of 42.5%, in terms of value, in 2020. The growing packaging industry and the increasing demand in the agriculture sector are the factors driving the barrier resins market in the region.

In 2020, China was the largest market for barrier resins in the region, with a share of 48.6%. The growing food & beverage industry in China is driving the market in packaging applications. Japan was the second-largest market in 2020. India is expected to witness the highest CAGR in the region during the forecast period. Factors such as the rising disposable incomes, changing lifestyles, growing middle-class population, and rising demand for packed goods are likely to drive the demand for packaging, which, in turn, will support the growth of the barrier resins market in India.

The study involves four major activities in estimating the current market size of barrier resins. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, the peer market, and the parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, the market breakdown and data triangulation methods were used to estimate the size of the segments and sub-segments of the overall market.

Secondary Research

Data Triangulation

After arriving at the overall market size from the estimation process explained above, the total market was split into several segments and sub-segments. Data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were used wherever applicable to complete the overall market engineering process and to arrive at the exact statistics for all the segments and sub-segments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. In addition, the market was validated using both the top-down and bottom-up approaches; it was then verified through primary interviews. Hence, for every data segment, there were three sources — the top-down approach, the bottom-up approach, and expert interviews. The data was assumed to be correct only when the values arrived at from the three sources matched.
