India Rigid Plastic Packaging Market Overview
The India rigid plastic packaging market size reached USD 10.57 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 25.33 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a robust growth rate (CAGR) of 10.20% during 2025-2033.
The market is primarily driven by the expanding Food and Beverage (F&B) sector, where rigid plastics are favored for their durability, lightweight nature, and ability to preserve product shelf life. The rapid rise of e-commerce (projected to exceed $350 billion by 2030) has further necessitated robust, tamper-proof packaging solutions to ensure safe product delivery. Additionally, the healthcare and personal care industries are significant contributors, demanding high-quality, regulatory-compliant rigid containers. A major structural shift is occurring towards sustainability, with manufacturers increasingly incorporating Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content and designing for circularity to meet government regulations on single-use plastics.
