Market Trends of malaysia adhesives Industry
Significant growth in the e-commerce industry is likely to proliferate the industry size
- Packaging is one of the fastest-growing industries in terms of design and technology for protecting and enhancing products. The packaging industry of Malaysia has been majorly driven by the rapid growth of the food and beverages industry in recent years. The agri-food industry is the most promising sector in Malaysia. In today's competitive market of FMCG, it has become inevitable for companies to use attractive packaging and bring innovation to their packaging to stand out from their competitors and maintain their brand image in the market. This is likely to encourage the use of packaging adhesives in the market.
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country-wide lockdowns and temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities caused several issues, including disruptions in supply chains and imports and exports trade. As a result, the country's packaging production declined by 6% in 2020 compared to the previous year, significantly affecting the market. Packaging production is majorly driven by plastic in the country, which accounted for nearly 86% of the packaging produced in 2021. With the advancement of plastic recyclability, the plastic segment is likely to maintain its growth with a 4% CAGR during the forecast period.
- The growth of the packaging industry in Malaysia is significantly boosted by the growing demand for fresh food domestically. The increasing interest in public health issues during the post-pandemic period, along with the emerging e-commerce activities across the nation, is likely to boost the growth of the food processing industry, which will further drive the packaging demand in the forecast period.
