North America has been the dominant region in the global plastic packaging market for many years. The region is expected to account for 38.7% of the market share in 2024. The U.S., in particular, has a very strong plastic packaging market presence with several large multinational players headquartered in the country. These companies have significant manufacturing and production facilities spread across the U.S. and Canada. They are able to leverage economies of scale and experience to cater to the huge domestic demand for plastic packaging. In addition, North American plastic packaging companies have established close partnerships with major FMCG brands and consumer goods producers which depend on plastic for their product packaging needs. This ensures a steady offtake for plastic packaging materials. Regional trade policies also favor local manufacturers over imports. As a result, North America has been able to maintain its market share despite increasing competition from emerging markets.
Among emerging regions, Asia Pacific has emerged as the fastest growing market for plastic packaging in recent times. China leads the way, having established itself as the world's factory for plastic production as well as packaging. Its favorable business environment and low-cost skilled workforce have attracted heavy investments into plastic packaging capacity additions from multinational as well as domestic players. Countries like India and Southeast Asian nations have also tapped into the huge opportunities arising from their burgeoning consumer markets. Rising domestic consumption as well as exports from these countries have boosted the demand for packaging across industries. Further, their import-substituting capabilities in plastic packaging are strengthening. Together, China and other Asian countries are narrowing the gap with traditional leader, North America and giving it tough competition in global markets.
