Polypropylene (PP) is a polymeric polymer often used to create plastic films for packaging. The main benefit of this material is that it can be mixed with other materials to provide the film further qualities like better resistance, insulation, or defence against outside effects. Its colour scheme is clear and its surface is matte. These films are suitable for applications needing high-temperature sterilisation because they have good tensile qualities, a high melting point, high gloss, and high clarity. Because of their well-known excellent chemical resistance, low odour, and inertness, polypropylene films are the preferred option for packaging applications that must adhere to FDA standards.

Driving Factors- The packaging industry serves a diverse range of end markets, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, electronics, and industrial goods. Each industry has its own set of packaging requirements, and polypropylene films are adaptable enough to fulfil these diverse needs. As consumer lifestyles become more fast-paced, there is an increasing demand for convenience packaging. Single-serve, easy-to-open, and resealable packaging solutions are popular in the food and beverage industry. Polypropylene films are suited to these convenience-driven packaging requirements. Packaging is no longer just a protective cover for products. It's evolved into a marketing tool. Packaging design innovations, such as visual appeal, branding, and product distinction, help to fuel the industry's growth.

Challenges- The competition from substitute packaging materials, which have comparable advantages but might have less of an impact on the environment, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), and biodegradable plastics, is a significant barrier. The profitability and production costs of PP packaging films are also impacted by changes in the price of raw materials and disruptions in the supply chain. Furthermore, it might be difficult for market participants to keep up with the high expense of cutting-edge film production technologies and the constant need for innovation to satisfy consumer preferences and regulatory requirements.

The expansion of the polypropylene packaging films industry was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. The manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries were also impacted by the outbreak, in addition to the food and beverage sector. Extreme lifestyle adjustments were also brought about by it. The demand for packaged items surged as the number of COVID-19 cases grew, raising worries about hygiene. Panic buying of packaged goods occurred as a result of several lockdowns and curfews around the nation, especially in the FMCG sector. This increased the need for products with food packaging as a result. While border restrictions and temporary manufacturing halts caused supply delays for distribution channels, businesses were more dependent on digital channels to boost customer interaction. This market experienced moderate growth during the pandemic as a result of these causes.
