The Indian plastic industry stands as one of the leading sectors in the country's economy,
contributing significantly to its GDP and employment. With diverse applications across various
sectors such as packaging, agriculture, automotive, construction, and healthcare, the plastic
industry plays a pivotal role in India's industrial and economic landscape.

There is contribution several factors to the growth of the Indian plastic industry i.e Rapid
urbanization, rising disposable incomes, expanding middle-class population, and the growing
e-commerce sector have fuelled the demand for plastic products, particularly in packaging and
consumer goods segments. Additionally, technological advancements, such as the adoption of
automation and Industry 4.0 practices, have enhanced operational efficiency and product quality,
further stimulating growth.

To capitalize on emerging opportunities, the Indian plastic industry are increasingly focusing on
innovation and sustainability. Efforts are underway to develop eco-friendly alternatives, such as
