Description

Plastic Container Market Summary

The global plastic container market size was estimated at USD 113.92 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 163.62 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2026 to 2033. The increasing demand for plastic containers in the cosmetics & personal care, growing demand for rigid packaging from food and beverage packaging, and increased need for lightweight, durable, and cost-effective packaging in industries such as pharmaceuticals, and personal care are the factors driving market growth worldwide.

The demand for plastic packaging has been escalating due to its convenience, creative visual appeal, and innovative eco-friendly options. The plastic container market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the availability of advanced, affordable, and sustainable packaging solutions. The excellent barrier properties of plastic packaging play a crucial role in market development, effectively protecting products from air and moisture, which is particularly important in industries such as cosmetics and personal care.

In the cosmetics and personal care sector, polypropylene is widely used to manufacture bottles and jars for packaging creams, powders, and other cosmetic products. The compact size and durability of these containers provide protection from air, light, moisture, dust, and dirt, ensuring the integrity of the packaged products. The increasing demand for skin care products has contributed to the growth of the cosmetics and personal care market, which is expected to drive the plastic containers market share over the forecast period

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
