The global rigid packaging market was valued at US$ 529.97 billion in 2016 and is slated to reach US$ 753.39 billion by 2025. The market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.05% during the forecast period (2017-2025).

Plastics are the most widely used rigid packaging material. This can be attributed to the high chemical resistance, high strength and toughness compared to glass which is brittle. Its low weight allows greater flexibility during transit, which results in both space and fuel efficiency. Moreover, plastic is more easily recycled than glass, which has resulted in its dominance in the rigid packaging market. Despite its numerous advantages, plastic is non-biodegradable and is a major source for environmental pollution, which has resulted in the shift towards sustainable packaging. Paper & paperboard are increasingly being utilized as a replacement for plastic packaging. In 2016, according to the U.S. Forest and Paper Association, the country recycled over 70% of its used paper. Further, metal, wood and glass are losing importance due to their high manufacturing costs and lack of flexibility.
