Child Resistant Closure Market - Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Rising Use of Zip Lock Bags in Packaging – a zip lock bag, also known as a zipper bag, is a low-cost, flexible rectangular storage bag made of polyethylene or a nearly identical plastic that is sealed and opened repeatedly, either by a slider that works similarly to a zip fastener or by pinching all together two sides of a mechanical sealing mechanism. Such small steps by manufacturers and stringent norms by the government are expected to boost the child-resistant closure market in the upcoming years. It was found that in August 2022, India has become the largest exporter of zip lock bags in the world with a record number of shipments of nearly 14,780.
- Boost in the Healthcare industry – for instance, the worldwide healthcare industry is estimated to garner a significant revenue of approximately USD 60 Billion in the year 2022.
- Increasing Trend of Urbanization - according to the figures provided by the World Bank, currently, the world's population living in cities is estimated to rise more than double to 6 billion by 2045.
Challenges
- Stringent Regulatory Policies - child-resistant packaging (CRP), in general, is associated with medical containers. Regulatory bodies worldwide have set standards and hold industries responsible for creating safe and secure packaging and adopting practices needed to develop child-resistant packaging.
- High Manufacturing Cost of Child Resistance Closure
- Increasing Cost of Raw Materials
