Macroeconomic & Geopolitical Landscape:

The flow wrap packaging sector is increasingly shaped by global macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics.

- Inflationary Pressures: According to the IMF, global inflation averaged 6.6% in 2023, elevating production costs—particularly for polyethylene and polypropylene, essential inputs for flow wrap packaging.
- Geopolitical Instability: The Russia–Ukraine conflict has added volatility to global energy markets, raising logistics and manufacturing costs.
- Trade Tensions: U.S.–China trade restrictions and evolving global trade policies have disrupted material availability, with shipping costs rising over 50% in several regions (World Bank).
- Emerging Market Growth: Despite disruptions, strong economic momentum in India and Southeast Asia, with projected GDP growth above 6% in 2024, is boosting demand for packaged, convenience, and ready-to-consume goods.
- Sustainability Policies: Regulations such as the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive are accelerating the shift toward recyclable and biodegradable flow wrap materials, influencing investment decisions and R&D priorities.

Segmental Analysis:-

1. Material Segment – Plastic Films Lead the Market

The plastic films segment held the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a 5.1% CAGR.

Demand is propelled by:

- Increased use of PE, PP, and BOPP films in food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.
- Rapid growth in e-commerce, boosting the need for durable, tamper-evident packaging.

Regional Outlook:-

Asia-Pacific – Strongest Growth Through 2033 (CAGR 5.6%):
