Increased Trade of Agrochemicals to Drive the Agricultural Packaging Market
The agricultural packaging market is estimated at USD 3.93 Billion in 2018, and is projected to reach USD 5.02 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.00%. The agricultural benefits associated with these packaging solutions are the major factors contributing to the growth of this market, globally.
The agricultural packaging market is a relatively small sector of the industrial packaging market; significant evolution has been observed with regard to the packaging of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Regulatory guidelines and R&D are the major factors that have been fueling the growth of this market. Application of PET and HDPE plastics for the confinement of pesticides revolutionized the agrochemical packaging industry. Increasing need for effective storage and transport of pesticides and fertilizers and rising demand for longer shelf life of these products are the driving factors for the steady growth of this market.
Plastics are the mostly widely adopted packaging material for pesticides and fertilizers in either rigid or flexible form. The factors supporting the increasing adoption of plastic in this market are that they are lightweight, strong, and economical to manufacture. It is for these reasons that they are widely used in packaging when compared to paperboard, metal, and glass packaging materials. The market for plastic in agricultural packaging is thus estimated to dominate the global market in 2018.
The global market for agricultural packaging is dominated by large players such as Amcor Limited (Australia), Bemis Company, Inc. (US), Sonoco Products Company (US), Greif Inc. (US), and Mondi Group (South Africa). Some emerging players in the agricultural packaging market include Packaging Corporation of America (US), NNZ Group (Netherlands), LC Packaging International BV (Netherlands), Silgan Holdings, Inc. (US), Proampac LLC (US), Flex-Pack (US), Purity Flexpack Limited (India), Epac Holdings LLC (US), Kenvos Biotech Co., Ltd. (China), and Parakh Group (India).
