Bottled up: Import competition has piped away revenue for polymer product manufacturers
The Rigid and Semi-Rigid Polymer Product Manufacturing industry's output includes a range of plastic pipes, bottles and food packaging and other plastic products to meet demand from domestic and overseas markets. Low-cost imports from Asian manufacturers capture about half of domestic demand, while export earnings contribute just under one-third of the industry's annual revenue. Most polymer products are low-value items produced through high-volume manufacturing processes, although rigid and semi-rigid polymer product manufacturers have increasingly transitioned to producing niche and customised products to compete against imports from manufacturers with low operating costs.
Industry operators manufacture a range of rigid and semi-rigid plastic products, including bottles, containers, furniture, pipes and other household and commercial-use products.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
