NPCS has been helping entrepreneurs, startups, MSMEs, and industrial investors since 1992 with detailed project reports, feasibility studies, market research, and business consulting services across 50+ industries.
As the ban on single-use plastics approaches, India is prioritizing sustainable alternatives, allowing for the rise of new opportunities for businesses around the manufacturing of paper-based liquid containers. Moulded pulp paper bottles with Biodegradable inner barrier coatings are now being used instead of PET containers by some beverage, cosmetics and pharma industries.
From a start-up point of view, this is more than just packaging. It is a growing industry with a demand for sustainable alternatives. This is evident with a the recent surge in government regulation globally and the recent ESG mandates of large corporations.
The global paper bottle industry is valued at approximately 76-78 million USD, and is believed to grow at a rate of 5-6.5% to a value of $127-135 million by 2033-2035.
The main factors holding back this industry, are the growing consumer demands for recyclable packaging and the growing mandates on the use of plastics in packaging.
