Global Plastic Packaging Market: Bioplastics and Nanotechnology to Determine Leader in Highly Fragmented Competitive Landscape, says TMR

The plastic packaging industry is highly fragmented in nature, with the top five companies accounting for merely 11% share of the in 2013. This has led to low market concentration as there are a large number of plastic packaging manufacturers in the market. Moreover, the key focus of the industry is on the development of innovative products through technical advancement. These factors help in lowering the entry barriers for newcomers. However, environmental regulations regarding certain materials used in the manufacture of plastic packaging are expected to hamper the growth rate of the market. Nevertheless, growing demand for plastic packaging coupled with its increasing application scope is expected to provide new opportunities for the growth of existing companies as well as lower the entry barriers for new entrants.

Amcor Ltd., Sealed Air Corporation, Bemis Company, Inc., Sonoco Products Company, and Mondi plc are some of the prominent names in the market, while several domestic players collectively contribute to a very significant chunk of the shares. The degree of competition in the global packaging market is expected to remain high in the next six years. Rising at a healthy CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period of 2014–2020, the valuation is estimated to reach US$3.7 bn by the end of 2020.

Vastly Populated Asia Pacific Remains Most Lucrative Region
By product, the report segments the global plastic packaging market into rigid packaging and flexible packaging, and observes that rigid packaging currently serve the maximum demand, owing to demand from beverage packaging. Carbonated soft drinks and bottled water are high in demand, especially in the region of Asia Pacific. Flexible plastics have the ability to be modified by co-polymerization and use of additives, to match the precise packaging demands of the product to be packed. By application, the segment of food and beverages is anticipated for the best growth rate, followed by household products, and then personal care. This demand is also expected to be driven by the increasing demand for plastic packaging for casing various skin care and hair care products.
The maximum demand for plastic packaging currently comes from Asia Pacific, followed by Europe and North America. Asia Pacific is also expected to witness the most robust growth rate in the next few years due to rising disposable income of consumers coupled with increasing awareness regarding health and hygiene.

Thriving Food and Beverage Industry Driving Demand
The substantial surge currently experienced by the food and beverage industry is expected to positively reflect on global plastic packaging market. The for purpose of food distribution, retail, and catering, the food and beverages are required to be packed in plastic bags, containers, sachets, and pouches. Plastics help in casing large quantities of the product in less packaging. Increasing consumer preference towards flexible plastics is another factor augmenting the growth rate of the market. The report observes that consumers prefer transparent, east-to-open packaging that preserves the food aroma and protects the food against water vapor and oxygen. Additionally, the rising demand for plastics in pharmaceutical packaging is also expected to further propel the market during the forecast period. However, increasing cost of raw materials is the most prominent factor that will hinder the growth rate.
According to the author of the report, “Growing demand for bioplastics, which are derived from renewable biomass sources such as vegetable fats and oils and hence are preferred by the environmentally concerned consumers, will open new avenues for the players.” The author also recommends the players to keep an eye on the developments pertaining to emerging usage of nanotechnology in plastic packaging.

Welding Products Market Growth in Wind Power Sector to Create Opportunities, TMR

The global welding products market is moderately fragmented with the key players such as Lincoln Electric, ESAB, and ITW leading in the market. These three players accounted for a collective share of 30% in 2013, states a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR). This market is capital intensive and thus, local vendors find it difficult to compete with the larger players. Local players are unable to compete with large players on the basis of quality, services, functionalities, and features. Thus, these small players are entering into the market by introducing products that are low in price. Some of the players operating in the welding products market are: Voestalpine AG, Sonics & Materials Inc., Fronius International GmbH, Rofin-Sinar Technologies Inc., Arcon Welding, Bohler, Panasonic, Daihen Corp, and OBARA Co. In order to increase their production capacities and focus on innovations, companies are adopting the strategy of merging or acquiring other players. Acco

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid prototypi
