Newark, Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brainy Insights estimates that the USD 134.78 billion in 2023 global plastic films market will reach USD 234.63 billion in 2033. Plastic film is a continuous, thin plastic material, typically ranging in thickness from 0.06 mm to 0.25 mm, though films thicker than 0.25 mm are also considered. These films are made from various plastic materials, including polypropylene, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride, among others. Depending on the raw material and processing, plastic films can be transparent, opaque, smooth, rough, colored, embossed, printed, multilayered, single-layered, or semi-transparent.

The manufacturing process for plastic films is known as extrusion. In this process, plastic resins or pellets are melted until they become soft and pliable. The molten plastic is then forced through a circular die to form a continuous bubble, which is inflated with air to achieve the desired diameter. The bubble is drawn upwards, cooled, and then flattened to the final film width. The thickness of the film is controlled by the speed at which it is pulled from the die and the amount of air introduced into the bubble. Plastic films are widely used in various industries, including food packaging, consumer goods, construction, and agriculture, serving both packaging and non-packaging applications.

Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing Demand for Bi-Axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) Films.
The growing use of BOPP films in insulation and food packaging is driving market growth. BOPP films are favored for their excellent thermal insulating properties, superior to alternatives like cellophane and wax paper. They are also valued for their stiffness and tensile strength, making them ideal for packaging in electronics, food, cosmetics, and other industries. The recyclability of BOPP films further enhances their market appeal.
Restraints: Availability of Substitutes.
Aluminum is a significant substitute for plastic films, particularly in the food packaging sector. Its growing use is driven by its extended shelf-life benefits and increased adoption in flexible packaging. Companies are investing in research and development to enhance aluminum's recyclability and reuse, which may hinder plastic film market growth.
Opportunities: Rising Adoption for Medical Applications.
The use of plastic films in medical bags presents a significant market opportunity. Plastic films offer advantages over glass bottles, such as break resistance, reduced bacterial contamination, and cost-effectiveness. They are increasingly utilized in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, where large volumes of low-cost packaging are needed.
Challenges: Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices.
The price volatility of oil-based raw materials, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), poses a challenge. Oil price fluctuations, driven by global demand, geopolitical factors, and conflicts, can impact raw material costs and restrict market growth.
