Overview - Industry Structure and Developments 

 
Flexible Packaging 

 
The fiscal year 2009-10 was a challenging year for the Indian economy. India witnessed a significant revival in economic activity following the moderation in fiscal 2009. The economic recovery was evident across a wide range of sectors with the momentum gaining strength in the second half of fiscal 2010. The growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) during the first half of fiscal 2010 was 7.0% compared to 6.0% during the second half of fiscal 2009. However, during the third quarter of fiscal 2010, GDP growth moderated to 6.0% mainly due to decline in agricultural output following below normal monsoons and moderation in services sector growth to 6.6%. Reflecting the overall improvement in the economy, the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) has placed advance estimates of GDP growth for fiscal 2010 at 7.2%.

 

Flexible packaging industry is the fastest growing segment of the packaging industry worldwide and growing about 5.5% to 6% annually. Asia is growing faster than North America and Western Europe and will emerge as the world’s largest regional flexible packaging market by 2013. The area will account for more than one-third of total demand. China on its own will have 10% of global demand – up from 8% in 2008. Over the last five years, all regions except Western Europe experienced growth ranging from around 4% per annum in North America to 9% in South-East Asia and Oceania as well as in Eastern Europe. China and India were the most dynamic markets, growing in value terms by around 12% and 17% respectively. At a compound annual growth rate of 17 percent, the flexible packaging market is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing in the Country. As the advantage

of flexible packaging of lesser storage space, easy handling, cost effectiveness with better aesthetic factors becomes increasingly appreciated, traditional rigid packaging will take a backseat. Flexible packaging scores better over traditional packaging for such reasons.

 

Flexible packaging also offers the advantage of packing smaller quantities compared to traditional packaging and hence, middle class consumers, who comprise of a major section of the Indian society, have the choice of purchasing just the required products.

 

The flexible packaging market has excellent growth potential in the food and processed food, personal care, FMCG and retail sector. The demand for smaller packaging and increasing consumerism due to higher purchasing power has been a boon for the flexible packaging market. However, there is a certain lack of quality consciousness among some end users and they tend to gravitate towards low-grade products, thereby restricting the growth of flexible packaging materials.

 

With the introduction of innovative and new products, Indian Flexible Packaging Industry will lead to faster growth at a rate of around 25% annually. With the advent of newer plastic films, other novel materials and new technologies, the industry will be looking at better quality of the products and thereby, increased sales volumes. In fact, the market is expected to treble its output in the next few years owing to the greater demand from the food and processed food and retail segments.

 

Packaging Raw Materials – Poly Condensation

(PET Chips)

 

PET chips are mainly classified as polyester chips of film grade, yarn grade and bottle grade. These chips are used as raw material for manufacturing of polyester films, polyester yarn and PET bottles. The yarn grade chips market in India is going through a dull and difficult phase. Though, there has been demand for yarn grade chips, the falling price and margins and competition from countries like China and Indonesia have made it quite unprofitable. The market for bottle chips in India is very competitive with exceptionally low margins. The Company has therefore, strategically decided to mainly concentrate on production of film grade polyester chips and also decided to maintain a balance in product mix of commodity and speciality chips for speciality films.

 

Packaging Raw Materials - Inks and Adhesives 

 
Printing ink is colouring material in the form of a fluid or paste which is used for printing on a substrate and then dried. Depending on the process and end use, inks are classified into letterpress, lithographic, flexographic, rotogravure and others. Although most of the raw materials used in ink manufacture are available in India, but certain speciality items are imported. The growth of the printing ink sector has been very rapid. The market leaders in printing ink manufacture are USA, Europe and Japan. The demand for printing inks is expected to show an annual growth of more than 2-3%in Western Europe, North America and Japan. The world market trend points towards enviro-friendly inks. Majority of the countries are concentrating on water based and UV-cured inks. The

very few small scale industries are capable of incorporating technological advancements in the manufacturing process. The requirements of printing inks of the future should have features like high gloss, instant setting, high speed, quick drying, etc. Development work towards modification of resins, structural vehicles, water based inks, enviro-friendly inks etc. needs to be undertaken vigorously. Quality control is an area which needs special attention. The R and D of printing ink encompasses several fields which includes chemistry, production technology and product range. The majority of the large units have in-house R and D facilities. There is scope for improving the future of the printing ink industry through proper efforts in research and development.

 

The growth rate for Lamination Adhesive in terms of volume is approximately 15% per annum.

 
Packaging Machinery 

 
The Indian capital industry has to play key role in achieving the industrial growth. Indian Capital Goods sector is characterized by a wide range of products (almost all major capital goods are domestically manufactured) – a legacy of import substitution policy.

 

Most Indian manufacturers define quality of capital goods largely by performance parameters and dimensional accuracy and not in terms of aesthetics of finished goods. Most Indian capital goods are functionally at par with equipment made elsewhere in the world, but they rank poorly as far as finish is concerned. This has adversely impacted the competitiveness of the Indian capital goods in a discriminating and sophisticated export market
