1.2 PACKING INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The large and fast growing Indian middle class population and the growth of organized
retail sector are the catalysts to growth in packaging. Packaging of essential products like food,
beverage, milk, vegetable, food grains and pharma are the key driving segments because of the
huge domestic consumption.
Apart from the huge value addition and employment involved in these activities,
packaging has served the Indian economy by helping preservation of the quality and lengthening
the shelf life of innumerable products - ranging from milk and biscuits, to drugs and medicines,
processed and semi-processed foods, fruits and vegetables, edible oils, electronic goods etc.,
besides domestic appliances and industrial machinery and other hardware needing transportation.

universal presence.

1.3 INDIAN PACKAGING INDUSTRY MARKET

The Indian packaging industry itself is growing at 14-15% annually. This growth rate is

expected to double in the next two years.

According to the Indian Packaging Institute, Indian Packaging industry is USD 14 billion
and growing at more than 15% p.a. These figures indicate towards a change in the
industrial and consumer set up.

The growth in the packaging industry in India is mainly driven by the food and the
pharmaceutical packaging sectors. The large and growing Indian middle class, along with the
growth in organized retailing in the country are fueling growth in the packaging industry.
Another factor, which has provided substantial stimulus to the packaging machinery industry is
the rapid growth of exports, which requires superior packaging standards for the international
market. With this the need for adopting better packaging methods, materials and machinery to
ensure quality has become very important for Indian businesses.
The Indian packaging industry is dominated by plastic flexible packaging. The traditional
rigid packaging users have also been seen to shift to flexible packaging in recent times.
According to industry sources, the main reasons for this is that flexible packages are found
aesthetically attractive, cost-effective and sturdy. Consumer preference for the use of convenient
packaging and packaged products in affordable quantities in laminates is also one of the main
reasons that have contributed to the growth of flexible packaging in India. The food-processing
sector is the largest user of flexible packaging, accounting for more than 50 percent of the total
demand. The flexible packaging segment is estimated to be growing at over 35 percent annually.
Major players in the flexible packaging sector are Paper Products Ltd. and Flex Industries.
