Blow-Molded Plastics Market Report 2026

The blow-molded plastics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $99.31 billion in 2025 to $105.99 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of packaged food and beverage industry, growth of plastic container manufacturing, rising adoption of blow molding technologies, increasing demand for consumer packaging, availability of thermoplastic materials.

The blow-molded plastics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $137.27 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing sustainability regulations in packaging, rising demand for recyclable plastic containers, expansion of healthcare packaging requirements, growing investments in automated molding equipment, increasing adoption of smart manufacturing systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for lightweight plastic packaging, rising use of recycled and rPET materials, growing adoption of high-speed blow molding lines, expansion of medical and pharmaceutical packaging, enhanced focus on custom molded plastic containers.

The growth of the beverage industry is expected to drive the blow-molded plastics market in the coming years. The beverage industry encompasses companies producing both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including packaged water, energy drinks, milk, spirits, and beer. Blow-molded plastics are widely used in this sector to manufacture bottles, containers, lids, closures, coolers, transport cases, and industry drums. HDPE is the preferred material due to its flexibility, moldability, and chemical resistance. For instance, in October 2024, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), a UK-based government department, reported that in 2023, average weekly expenditure on food and drink rose to $57.2 (£43.33) per person, a 5.4% increase from $54.3 (£41.11) in 2022. Therefore, the growth of the beverage industry is boosting demand for blow-molded plastics.

Major companies in the blow-molded plastics market are introducing innovative solutions such as the Robopik takeout system to enhance operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve product quality while supporting automation and smart manufacturing. The Robopik takeout system uses collaborative robotics to unload and deflash bottles from shuttle-type blow molding machines, improving flexibility, speed, and safety. For instance, in April 2024, Proco Machinery Inc., a Canada-based automation solutions manufacturer, launched cobot palletizing systems to efficiently handle plastic bottles alongside human operators, enabling smoother integration into existing production lines.

In October 2023, Greif Inc., a US-based industrial packaging company, acquired Reliance Products Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Greif’s barrier-technology capabilities and expands its portfolio of high-performance jerrycans and small plastic containers across North America. Reliance Products Ltd., based in Canada, manufactures durable blow-molded containers for agricultural, industrial, and consumer applications.
