Players in Global Stretch and Shrink Films Market Looking to Benefit from Low Operational Cost and Cheap Labor in APAC, states TMR

The global stretch and shrink films market is led by Fuji Seal International, Inc., Berry Plastics, and Dow Chemicals. Transparency Market Research has observed that these companies, as well as other prominent players, have been emphasizing on tie-ups with local distributors and expanding operations in developing economies to strengthen their position in the stretch and shrink films market.

Bemis Company Inc. is one such company that has focused on geographical expansion as a key growth strategy. It has dedicated significant resources in strengthening its presence in China, India, and South America, making the most of the availability of cheap labor and raw material cost. In December 2015, the company acquired a Brazilian manufacturer of plastic packaging Emplal Participações S.A.

Substantial Growth of Flexible Packaging Industry Driving Demand

Flexible packaging is one of the most significant and fastest growing segments of the overall packaging industry and is rapidly replacing rigid packaging in several applications. Among the various types of flexible packaging, stretch and shrink films are abundantly used throughout the supply chain.

“The food and beverages sector is one of the leading end users of stretch and shrink films owing to the rising demand for packaged products and the growing use of flexible packaging,” states the author of the study.

The market is also driven by the growing demand from the transportation and logistics industry, the rapid expansion of the pharmaceutical sector, and sustainable growth in the retail industry.

Strict Government Regulations a Roadblock

Growing concerns pertaining to environmental damage and the health and safety of the people have inflicted the overall packaging industry over the years and this has resulted in the implementation of strict government legislations and rules. The enforcement of these rules has curbed not just the competition in several countries but also resulted in severe financial burden for players. This is projected to hamper the growth of the stretch and shrink films market.

Moreover, the newly formed regulations push for sustainability and eco-friendliness and the demand for biodegradable alternatives for packaging has increased. Smaller companies producing stretch and shrink films are finding it difficult to make the switch from non-biodegradable materials and this is likely to adversely impact the market.
