Market Analysis

The rising traditional plastics prices and increasing environmental issues are the key drivers for the growth of the Vietnam recycled plastics market. Recycling plastics eliminates the need for the energy and natural resources required for the manufacturing of virgin plastic. The shift towards sustainability, thus, raises the demand for recycled plastics. In addition, the increased local demand, as well as lower labour costs, have propelled the growth of the market further. The industry is experiencing growth because consumers are increasingly seeking out recycled over virgin plastics because of the extreme contamination from the disposal of used plastics in oceans and the shortage of landfills. Determinants such as the increased use of recycled plastics in the packaging and automotive sectors and various successful measures to encourage the use of the product are providing lucrative opportunities for the development of the Vietnam recycled plastics market. However, intense competition in terms of output with virgin plastics acts as a significant factor restricting the market development.
