The inevitability of packaging applications in a stretch of industrial segments such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics, is the prime impetus for the demand influx in the plastic caps and closures market. Plastic caps and closures are used in conjunction with the packaging and helps in enhancing the shelf life of the product, preserving the commodity, and maintaining the integrity of the package. Plastic materials such as high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylene terephthalate are used for manufacturing caps and closures. The abundant availability of these raw materials translates to the low cost of production thereby making plastic caps and closures a viable choice for packaging. Moreover, a wide range of plastic caps in different shapes and sizes can be easily molded in an economic way by using compression molding and injection molding techniques.

Therefore, the aforementioned industries are relying heavily on plastic caps and closures, as they provide a cost-effective sealing solution. Thus, the growing demand for plastic packaging solutions is considered to be the key factor fueling the growth of the plastic caps and closures market. The growth in the plastic packaging industry can be fathomed from the fact that the global trade of plastic packaging of goods has attained a value of $56 billion in 2018, an increase of 10% from 2017 to 2018. Moreover, the diminishing global demand for containers and bottles made of glass, owing to its high production cost and fragile properties is considered to be another key factor to positively impact the growth of plastic products including plastic bottle caps, plastic screw caps, and plastic dispensing caps.

The Plastics Caps and Closures Market size was valued at $45.7 billion in 2018. Moreover, the demand for plastic caps and closures is projected to prosper at a standard CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period 2019-2025.
