Polymer Industry in India - Export Opportunities and Promising Growth in Domestic Packaging and
Automotive Sectors to Drive the Demand

Summary

GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, has released its latest research, “Polymer Industry in India -
Export Opportunities and Promising Growth in Domestic Packaging and Automotive Sectors to Drive the
Demand”. The study from the company’s Petrochemical Research Group provides an in-depth analysis of
the Indian polymer industry. It highlights the major features of the industry and explains the reasons behind
its impressive growth in the last decade. The report gives the historic and forecast demand for polymers
(polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and styrene
butadiene rubber (SBR)) in the region, and discusses the major end use sectors which will drive the
polymer demand in India. It also explains the factors which are facilitating the growth of processed plastics
exports from India, and gives forecasts for polymer production for the next five years.

The report is built using data and information sourced from proprietary databases, primary and secondary
research and in-house analysis by GlobalData’s research team of industry experts.
The Indian polymer industry made a promising beginning in 1957, but its growth era started after economic
liberalization which facilitated the growth of the major polymer end-use sectors. The Indian polymer industry
grew at an impressive rate from 2000 to 2011 to become the world’s third largest consumer of polymers
after China and the US. Most of this growth has been driven by the packaging sector which is the largest
consumer of polymers worldwide. With a rapidly growing economy and the increasing spending power of
the Indian middle class, the packaging sector is expected to grow further and create a higher demand for
polymers. The automotive sector also is one of the fastest growing polymer end-use sectors and is
expected to maintain its growth rate in the future. Plasticulture will be the emerging sector which will drive
polymer demand over the next five years. Government support has been crucial for polymer industry
growth. The government’s decision to allow 100% foreign direct investment in the processed food industry
will drive the demand from the packaging sector. The national mission on micro irrigation will also help
popularize plasticulture in the long term.
Replicating the growth in gross domestic product, polymer demand in India grew from 3.459 Million Metric
ton per annum (MMtpa) in 2000 to 9.013 MMtpa in 2011 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of
9.1%. Strong growth in the packaging and automotive sectors will drive the demand further to 14.315
MMtpa in 2016. To meet this growing demand, India increased its polymer production from 3.568 MMtpa in
2000 to 7.377 MMtpa in 2016. Production is expected to increase to 11.575 MMtpa in 2016. India’s
processed plastics exports have also grown in the last five years to reach to $2.323 billion in the fiscal year
ended 2011. As the investment in the processed plastics industry gradually increases, the scale of
operation will also increase. This will result in a larger and more efficient processed plastics industry to
complement the upstream polymers industry.
