OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

Indian Plastic industry, especially packaging industry is going through a tough phase. Plastic is an eco-friendly product, which is safe guarding the ecological balance of the globe. In our opinion, Plastic is a greatest and major achievement of Human. Right from packaging to Aeronautics, it is used each and everywhere. It is very difficult to imagine a Plastic free world.

The quantum of paper required for packaging needs of the globe is enormous and the world greenery will completely vanish in no time. Similarly, the requirement of Furniture industry and other industries, where Plastics has replaced precious conventional products. Plastic is revolutionary product, which is giving a major economic thrust to the Global economy. However Negative Publicity and Negative marketing have become major threats to this versatile and ecofriendly product.

The increasing consumption of plastic products because of its applications in several end users and the rapid industrialization is increasing the demand for polymers market in India. Also, the expanding sectors such as health, pharmaceuticals and others is one of the factor that is propelling the market. The petrochemical and chemical industry plays a very significant role for the development of economy in a country.

Polymers market is segmented by type, class, source and applications. In terms of number of application and its products polyethylene is dominating the Indian market and followed by that polyvinyl chloride and polypropylene.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS: a. OPPORTUNITIES

The Indian plastic industry clearly has the potential to continue its fast growth. However, over the next few years, competition in the industry is expected to increase considerably, as a result of global trends, which will become applicable to the liberalizing economy of country. To survive the competition, both polymer manufacturers and processors will need to adopt radically new methods and approaches to reduce costs, improve market and customer service and management of performance.
