Furthermore, rising consumer preference towards light weight, durable and highly aesthetic packaging is expected to significantly encourage growth of the market over the next few years. However, volatility in prices of crude oil which consequently affects the prices of its downstream chemicals is expected to hamper the plastic packaging market adversely. Research and development activities on plastic packaging technologies have opened up opportunities for the usage of nanotechnology in the formation of films and printing.

Plastics have been extensively used in packaging due to their high barrier properties, cost effectiveness and durability. Plastics are tough and durable enough to withstand rough handling during distribution and transportation. Additionally, plastics have superior aesthetic value and excellent barrier properties against moisture and air. This enhances the shelf life of the product that is packaged. Polyethylene is the cheapest and most widespread plastic film used for food packaging across the globe. Other plastics such as polypropylene are also gaining importance in the plastic packaging market. However, countries in regions such as North America, Europe and Asia Pacific have introduced and implemented legislations to ban the use of disposable plastic shopping bags. Some countries have imposed additional taxes at the point of sale of plastic bags. Nonetheless, increasing demand for bioplastics is expected to open growth avenues for the plastic packaging market in the near future.
