Plastic Straps Market: Overview

Plastic straps are long, narrow sheets of plastic. In industrial settings and even public venues, such plastic strip variations are frequently installed in entrances for climate control purposes. The length and inflexibility of most other plastic strip variants define them. They're utilized as construction trim, nail gun collators, furniture components, car trim, and a variety of other things. Many plastic materials may be used to make rigid plastic strips. High and low-density PET, polyethylene, polystyrene, and a variety of other plastic polymers are among them. Each material is chosen for its strength, weather resistance, durability, and other important characteristics.

Plastic straps were introduced as a substitute for steel strapping. These straps are mostly utilized in the paper and printing industry due to their beneficial properties, such as lightweight and corrosion-resistance. These straps are used for a broad range of applications, such as paper coating, construction additives, paints and coatings, and adhesives and sealant, among others.

The pandemic of COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the automobile and electronics industries. Import-export restrictions imposed by governments in various locations caused a heavy delay in electronic item imports and exports. Furthermore, vehicle production has been disrupted in the last two years, resulting in a significant loss in the whole automotive sector. As per the association of European Automobile Manufacturers, demand for new commercial cars in the EU remained sluggish in June 2020 (-20 percent), however, the rate of fall reduced from April and May of 2020.

Plastic Straps Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing automotive production and expanding the building and construction sector

Automobile production is rapidly increasing across the world, for instance, Malaysian passenger vehicle manufacturing climbed by 2.6 percent in 2019. China is the world's largest automotive market, with the Chinese government expecting 35 million automobiles to be produced by 2025. The number of automobile manufacturers is rapidly increasing in the Indian market. Furthermore, plastic straps, such as polyester straps, are chosen over paper straps for packing building supplies because they have more flexibility and weather resilience, and they work well under stress loading. As a result, they're utilized to pack building materials including clay bricks, plasterboards, roofing tiles, lumber, plywood, and chipboard. The rate of building construction has increased tremendously in developing countries such as China, India, and Africa which is strongly supporting the demand for plastic straps.

The global plastic straps market is likely to experience significant in the upcoming years, due to the growing demand for plastic straps in the packaging industry, the logistics industry, and construction industry from emerging economies. The use of plastic straps in steel, paper, fiber, cotton, and bricks and tiles industries in different countries is increasing. The increased demand for plastic straps in the steel and paper industry is due to their lightweightness and low-cost, which is further anticipated to boost the global plastic straps market in the forecast time period.

Emerging economies, growing product usage across numerous end-user industries, and flourishing construction industry are other key growth drivers of the global plastic straps market. Strict government rules pertaining to environmental pollution might hamper the plastic straps market in the upcoming years. Nonetheless, product innovations, such as advancements in bio-based plastics and emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region are likely to open new growth avenues for the major market players in the years to come.

Plastic Straps Market: Restraints

Restrictions and stringent regulations on plastic use in many nations may hamper market growth.

Plastics are harmful to the environment. They are not environmentally friendly as the plastic products do not decompose naturally which can affect the environment if not disposed of or recycled properly. which has slowed down their production. And currently, the customers prefer to employ bio-based goods, which aid in realizing the potentiality of customers while also posing risks and raising environmental consciousness. These factors are primarily affecting the growth of the global plastic straps market.

Plastic Straps Market: Opportunities

Low price and durability of plastic straps offer several opportunities for their use in many end-use industries.

The increase in opportunities occurs owing to the increased flexibility, high tensile strength, and ease of handling of plastic straps. Furthermore, the expansion of the middle and upper classes in the Asia Pacific region, along with an increase in discretionary money, has boosted the end-user industries such as paper, steel, and brick industries in China, Japan, and India. Moreover, the major utilizers of plastic straps such as automobiles and constructions are also expanding at a rapid rate in these countries. All these factors are expected to expand the global plastic straps market growth during the forecast period.

Plastic Straps Market: Challenges

Fluctuation in raw material prices poses a major challenge to market growth.

Polyester and polypropylene, which are end products of crude oil, are recurrently employed as raw ingredients in the fabrication of plastic straps. As a result, the price of raw materials used for plastic straps manufacturing is affected by the fluctuation of crude oil prices. The price volatility of crude oil has grown in the recent year, according to the major crude oil extractors, BP showed the crude oil price increased from USD 43.73 in 2016 to USD 71.31 in 2018. On the other side, polyester and polypropylene prices are also rising due to the unpredictable crude oil prices. Raw material prices fluctuate as crude oil prices fluctuate, which is predicted to be a big problem for the plastic straps market producers.
