World Economic Conditions
As per the global estimates that there will be decline in the economic growth mainly
due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The economic damage caused due to the war
between the two countries has contributed to significant slowdown in global growth in the
year 2022. The new variants of COVID-19 has resulted in re-imposing of mobility
restrictions globally. Rising energy prices and supply disruptions have resulted in higher
and more board-based inflation than anticipated.
While many economies are on the path to recovery on the back of measures towards virus
containment, Vaccination drives, stimulus packages etc., the outlook remains challenging
on account of divergence in the shape and pace of recovery as well as the potential for
medium-to-long term economic scarring from the crisis. ‘Multispeed recoveries are
underway across regions and income groups, marked by stark differences in the pace of
vaccine rollout, extent of economic policy support, and structural factors such as
reliance on contact-intensive sectors such as tourism in the case of certain countries.
Multilateral efforts to respond to the humanitarian crisis, prevent further economic
fragmentation, maintain global liquidity, manage debt distress, tackle climate change and
end of the pandemic is essential.
Indian Economic Conditions
Indias economy has been mending after the second wave of COVID-19 in the f.y. 2021-22.
It has impacted the trade activities globally but due to the pro-active steps taken by the
government like quick vaccination drives India was able to recover from the hardships
caused due to the second wave of the pandemic. Indias GDP growth for the financial year
2022-23 is estimated at 8 to 8.5%.
Considering the speed with which the government is trying to vaccinated the Indian
population, it is expected that there will be significant growth in domestic consumption.
Even as the Indian economy faces multi-dimensional challenges in the short term, it
remains one of the most dynamic major economies in the world with huge potential. With
structural drivers of growth firmly in place, the pace of economic growth is expected to
pick up over time. Policy announcements in the Union Budget are expected to provide
further impetus to build Indias competitiveness and foster inclusive growth.
Notwithstanding the execution challenges in the near term, reforms announced in the
agricultural sector hold promise to foster a new era of growth for farmers and rural India
that comprise nearly half of the countrys workforce.
Industry Structure & Developments
Rapid industrialization across the globe is one of the key factors driving the growth
of FIBC market. Chemical and agriculture product manufacturers are increasingly using
FIBCs to handle grains, rice, potatoes, cereals and liquid chemicals. These bags are also
used to store and transport construction materials, such as carbon black, steel, alloys,
minerals, cement and sand. Furthermore, increasing environmental consciousness among the
masses and the rising demand for lightweight, biodegradable and bulk packaging material
for pharmaceutical products, is also stimulating the market growth. Food-grade FIBC bags
are manufactured using virgin polypropylene resins that aid in preventing spoilage of
perishable goods and are suited for storing packaged products in bulk quantities.
In the year 2021 the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic had hit and it had impacted
the world in the same manner as the first wave. Most of the industries have been greatly
impacted during the second wave as well and FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container)
industries have also been greatly affected. With the slowdown in world economic growth,
the FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) industry has also suffered a certain
impact, but still maintained a relatively optimistic growth, the past four years, FIBC
(Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) market size to maintain the average annual growth
rate of 15 from 2015 to 2021, analysts believe that in the next few years, FIBC (Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Container) market size will be further expanded, we expect that by 2025.
The Company still has been able to maintain its market and growth in the pandemic.
