As per Technavio, the demand for lightweight packaging from different sectors will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period. This research report also analyzes other significant trends and market drivers that will influence market growth over 2020-2024.
Single-Use Plastic Bags Market: Demand for Lightweight Packaging from Different Sectors
The demand for lightweight packaging is continuously increasing across end-user industries such as construction, chemical and fertilizer, horticulture, F&B, and others. This can be attributed to the growing need to reduce the overall weight of bulk packaging while transporting materials. Plastic woven bags are widely used in such applications as they are lightweight and reduce the overall weight of the cargo, thereby keeping the tensile strength and other mechanical properties intact. The growing demand for lightweight packaging is encouraging many vendors to focus on developing innovative lightweight packaging sacks with superior mechanical properties. This trend is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the global single-use plastic bags market during the forecast period.
“Increasing demand for logistics and warehousing and an increase in the number of trade agreements will further boost market growth during the forecast period”, says a senior analyst at Technavio.
