Home Care Packaging Market Trends

Flexibility, Strength, and Durability of Plastic Make it Ideal for Packaging


- The broad usage of plastic through all main packaging types creates a plastic market. The material's flexibility, strength, and durability make it suitable for packaging many liquids, cream, and powder products in the industry. Compared to other materials available in the market, plastic remains highly flexible and can be molded into any shape. Growth in demand from the retail sector, increasing dual-income households, and rising demand for PET bottles are the major drivers for plastic products.
- Apart from its favorable properties, innovations like tamper-evidence caps and closures are gaining popularity, leading to a crucial value add for the brand owners. This has driven the use of plastics across a variety of products. According to the US Census Bureau, the revenue of personal and laundry services in Washington was USD 2,933.82 million and is expected to reach USD 2,990.89 million in 2024. An increase in laundry services is expected to leverage the homecare market.

Flexible plastic packaging materials are 80% lighter in weight than their equivalent rigid plastic materials and are cheaper.
- Manufacturers are developing packaging that contains less virgin material and higher levels of post-consumer recycling (PCR) or post-industrial recycling (PIR). Although significant emphasis has been placed on consumer recycling practices, many vendors have found success by collecting and regrinding waste material throughout manufacturing. Moreover, companies are exploring bioplastics and bio-derived plastic resins to improve their carbon footprint.
- Advancements in packaging technology are playing a crucial role in shaping the future of homecare packaging. Continual innovations are improving the performance of packaging solutions, resulting in better protection, convenience, and sustainability of home care products. These enhancements are making homecare packaging desirable for various products and applications.
