The growth of the barrier film market is augmented by the huge demand for high-performance films, owing to the rising barrier requirements in multiple end-user industries. Improvements, particularly in processing technologies, are expected to support the increasing use of barrier films for suitable applications and low-cost production. Packaging applications for food are expected to account for a major share of the barrier film market. This can be attributed to the rising trend of down-gauging, which has supported the shift from rigid to flexible packaging. Strong incentives from retailers, producers, and consumers to increase product shelf life and reduce wastage of packaging material, along with the rising preference for fresh foods, such as meat, fruits, vegetables, and seafood, have increased the demand for barrier films. Flexible packaging formats, such as retort pouches, bags, and trays with wraps, are helping consumers with busy lifestyles and single-households and meeting their need for convenient packaging. The above-stated trends for food packaging are driven by the increasing dominance of large retailers in developed and developing economies where processed and packaged food, with shelf life extension and cost control, is preferred.

The blow-molded plastics market is among the many technologies used in the production of plastic products. The other technologies used include compression- molded, extrusion molding, injection molding, and thermoforming. Blow-molded plastic containers are generally sold by vendors through their direct sales team and by through distributors who in turn have their own warehouses and sales personnel. Plastic products sold through distributors are generally made by generic molds while custom molds are used for clients who require specific design and shapes. Some clients also catered through proprietary molds.

Antioxidants are additives used during plastic production. They are added to the plastic to eliminate degradation processes caused by thermo-mechanical as well as thermo-oxidative conditions. Antioxidants help in extending the life cycle of plastic, increase color deterioration, offer tensile strength and elongation, reduced impact resistance, cracking, and other surface deterioration. Primary antioxidants and secondary antioxidants are the two major categories of plastic antioxidants, and plastic made from primary type is often combined with secondary to produce thermally stable plastic products. In addition, a combination of primary and secondary antioxidants provides additional processing stability during plastic production.

The value chain is initiated by raw material suppliers, who supply petrochemicals and chemical feedstock, along with the additives required to make plastic resins and composites. The raw materials undergo processing to make the different types of plastic resins, namely traditional and engineering plastics, and composites . Polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are considered in traditional plastics; while plastics made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyimide (PI), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyether sulfone, polysulfone, polyphenylsulfone, and polyetherimide are considered in engineering plastics. Glass and carbon composites are preferably used in oil and gas applications, majorly pipelines. Some of the major providers of resins for the oil and gas industry are DuPont de Nemours Inc., Röchling Group, Ensinger, Arkema Group, BASF SE, Piedmont Plastics, SABIC, Royal DSM, and Solvay, to name a few.
