Plastic pipe and plastic packaging manufacturers have been enduring mixed business conditions. Manufacturers produce several plastic products for a range of downstream markets, including automotive components, plastic pipes, food containers and furniture. Diminishing demand from the downstream construction sector has negatively affected industry manufacturers' incomes and profit margins in recent years. Low-cost imports have encroached on the domestic market, weighing on domestic manufacturers' revenue. Even so, they’ve looked to export markets to expand their revenue. As such, industry revenue is expected to inch upwards at an annualised 0.6% over the five years through 2024-25, to an estimated $5.1 billion. A recovery in demand from construction firms and growth in household consumption expenditure are set to push revenue up by an estimated 1.3% in 2024-25.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.6 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $5.1bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
