COVID-19 impact on Global Commodity Plastics Market

The global commodity plastics market is expected to witness a moderate decrease in its growth rate in 2020-2021, as the commodity plastics used in automotive, construction, textiles, and electronics will witness a significant decline in its demand. However, there will be an increase in the demand for commodity plastics used in the packaging, consumer goods, and medical & pharmaceutical industries during COVID-19.

  • A resoundingly positive thing to observe in this crisis has been the swift response by the packaging industry. Many companies are continuing their operations as they supply packaging for essential products. Fundamental redesign and innovation are required to make types of packaging viable amid the pandemic to provide healthy packaging of products for customers. Single-use, disposable food packaging appears to have made a comeback due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as many consumers believe this to be safer and/or more hygienic.
  • Automobile companies are seeing a decrease in sales because of fewer customers visiting their physical storefronts and travel restrictions. Automakers in China, the US, and European countries have suspended plant operations, which has disrupted production, and consumer demand has waned. Due to the negative impact of COVID-19 on sales, many companies are scrapping their outlook plans for the second quarter in 2020 and through the rest of the year.
  • The electronics industry consists of various sectors, such as the semiconductor sector, which has annual sales of over USD 481 billion as of 2017-18. The largest sector is e-commerce, which generated over USD 29 trillion in 2017, and consumer electronics, mobile technology, and handset manufacturing are the major sectors in the electronics industry. With a huge size of the global electrical & electronics industry, China is the major manufacturer and supplier of raw materials and parts required for global players. The industry is thus largely dependent on China, and hence the occurrence of COVID-19 has caused disruption in the electrical & electronics industry. The main disruption is in the supply chain. As the coronavirus/COVID-19 transforms from a China-centric challenge to a global pandemic, the impact on the global electronics supply chains and markets has shifted.
  • Advent of global pandemic, COVID-19 has resulted in creating a global crisis in the FMCG industry. Impacting over 195 countries across the global, the pandemic has already created economic backdrop across the globe, thereby hinting for the next global recession. Strong initiatives are undertaken by different governments for containing the outbreak. However, social distancing has made a drastic negative impact on the FMCG industry. Logistic issues, lack of adequate labor force, and operations limiting to production of only essential items are some of the few examples most FMCG companies are facing across the globe.
  • The impact of COVID-19 on the global construction business is detrimental. Contractors are at the forefront as they are service and product providers at the same time. The virus affects both material and labor, key cost components of construction projects, which is a challenge for on-going project delivery, companies’ liquidity, and whole business models.
  • The demand for textile products abroad and domestic sales have come down to a grinding halt due to the panic situation created by the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to the lockdown, all sorts of textile-related factories are closed, and it is tough to hazard a guess when those will be allowed to open. The business community is scared on account of cash crunch, supply chain disturbance, and manpower-related issues.
  • The coronavirus pandemic could catalyze a new wave of management and investor interest in improving the transparency of medical supply chains. The healthcare industry has so far held up relatively well in the recent market sell-off, although there is no guarantee it will continue to do so in the future. Also, Product Governance scores can help investors select companies that are relatively well-positioned to manage regulatory pressures in the race to develop vaccines and treatments for COVID-19. Moreover, we think that the outbreak will begin to shine a light on medical supply chains

Commodity Plastics Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing packaging industry

The packaging industry is growing at a rapid pace. The emergence of e-commerce has further boosted the growth of the packaging industry. Packaging became an important necessity for marketing to attract customers. Value-added packaging has emerged in the FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) sector to prompt customers to buy products.
The global packaging industry, especially the flexible packaging industry, experienced significant growth in 2019, registering a higher growth rate than the US GDP. Value-added flexible packaging registered a higher growth compared to other segments of the packaging industry in 2019. Plastic packaging dominates the overall packaging industry, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period, thereby driving the market for commodity plastics.

Restraint: Increased environmental concerns over plastic waste

The major restraining factor for the growth of the commodity plastics market is concerns over plastic waste. Plastic waste is a major environmental concern due to its low degradation rate. It is either recycled or dumped in landfills or in the ocean. Dumping plastics in landfills lowers the quality of the soil by releasing harmful chemicals into the soil. These harmful chemicals released can come into contact with groundwater and can pose severe health hazards. Plastics dumped into the ocean are very harmful to marine life. Birds, fish, and other marine species can get tangled in it or may die from the consumption of these plastics.

Due to these environmental concerns, many organizations are promoting the use of paper or cloth bags which are easy to degrade. In view of these concerns, many retail stores are restricted from selling plastic bags or are charging extra for the same. This is a major restraining factor for the growth of the commodity plastics market.

Opportunity: Developing countries offering significant growth opportunities

The market for commodity plastics is dominated by the US, China, India, and Germany, among others. Brazil, China, South Africa, and Argentina, among other developing countries, present significant growth opportunities for the commodity plastics market. Growing economic activities, such as rapid industrialization and urbanization, are driving the demand for these plastics in these developing countries. For instance, the construction industry contributes 10.0% to India’s GDP. The end-use industries, including automobile, construction, packaging, consumer goods, and medical & pharmaceutical, are rapidly growing in these countries.

Challenge:  Government regulations on the use of plastics for packaging

Governments of various countries are adopting various regulations regarding the use of plastics in various end-use industries. There are numerous restrictions on the use of PVC in various applications. Some of them are listed in the following:

  • In 2005, a number of cities in the US passed a number of procurement policies to restrict the purchase of PVC products. New York, in 2005, passed legislation that reduced the city purchase limit of PVC.
  • In 2009, legislation was introduced in California to ban PVC packaging.
  • In 2016, the government of India banned the use of plastics bags with a thickness of 40 microns.
  • In 2009, the government of India restricted the manufacturing of plastics, which do not comply with the specifications for compostable plastics stated by the Bureau of Indian Standards.

These regulations and guidelines put forth by the respective governments are becoming more stringent, which challenges the growth of the commodity plastics market.

The PET segment is projected to be the fastest-growing type in the market during the forecast period.

PET is a plastic resin and the most commonly used plastic material. A large number of consumer products, beverages, and food items are packaged and delivered and with this material. PET is manufactured from polyester and has good water and moisture resistance, due to which, it is used in the manufacturing of soft drinks bottles. It has a wide range of textile applications. PET plastic is approved as safe for food and beverage contact by the FDA and similar regulatory agencies throughout the world.

Packaging to be a promising industry of the commodity plastics market.

Packaging protects products during processing, storage, and distribution. The aim of any packaging system is to prevent or delay undesirable changes in appearance, flavor, odor, and texture. Consumers’ rejection of the product is possible if the mentioned quality is not met. Thus, a new technical tool is introduced in the market called ‘Active and Intelligent packaging,’ which better controls the food from contamination and maintains its quality. Packaging is an indispensable process for preserving and transporting goods. It caters to various sectors such as retail, institutional, and industrial. Changing consumer lifestyle with increasing disposable income has resulted in an increase in the importance of plastics as packaging products.

APAC is expected to account for the largest commodity plastics market share during the forecast period, in terms of value

The APAC commodity plastics market is segmented as China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC. Moreover, APAC is projected to continue its dominance over the market until 2025. Increasing population, industrialization, and urbanization are augmenting the commodity plastics market growth. China’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub has increased the demand for commodity plastics. Cheap labor and easy availability of raw materials boost the production of these products in the region.
