In the coming years, the Indian packaging industry will see substantial growth. The increasing awareness regarding clean water, safe food along with adoption of next gen digital technologies will aggressively penetrate and drive the Indian packaging industry. The paper and packaging sector in India is growing rapidly and has significant potential for future expansion. The industry was valued at $50.5 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to reach $204.81 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 26.7% from 2020 to 2025.
Nowadays, sustainability and smart solutions has become a key focus area of many of the packaging solutions manufacturers. With a focus on recycling and biodegradability will bring about a major transformation in this sector. This will create a unique opportunity for India to drive this industry towards sustainability, bio-based/paper-based packaging and in effect reduce the import bill and divert the valuable domestic ethylene production towards import substitution of other crucial chemicals/polymers like methyl ethyl ketone, PVC and ethylene oxide.
