Market Overview

Plastic bottles are containers made from plastic to store liquids, and liquid containers designed from Plastics are generally referred to as 'plastic bottles', as this type of container can hold many types of liquids, including water, juice, milk, soft drinks, etc. The main features of plastic bottles are light weight, strength, and ease of use when carrying them anywhere daily. Also available in many shapes, sizes, and colours, many can also be reused and recycled to help reduce waste. Widely used within households, by businesses, and while travelling due to their low cost and practicality, the growth of the Brazilian market for plastic bottles is largely being driven by the increasing consumer and industry demand for eco-friendly and biodegradable plastic packaging. The vast majority of the Brazilian plastic bottle industry growth is due to a gradual shift by consumers and businesses towards more sustainable forms of packaging to help protect the environment.

This shift has created many opportunities for innovation in the production of bio-based and recyclable bottles, and makes Brazil unique compared to the majority of other markets that primarily manufacture plastic bottles with traditional forms of plastic, for a variety of reasons. The rapid growth of the Brazilian market for plastic bottles can also be attributed to advances in polymers (especially PET and HDPE), expanding applications in food and beverage, personal care, and household prepared food and feed products (among others). PET bottles are demanded for their clarity, recyclability, barrier properties, etc, and consumer awareness of the environmental benefits associated with using traditionally produced plastic bottles will continue to drive increased demand for more sustainable packaging options. Plastic bottles are commonly made from polymer types S1 (PET), S2 (Polypropylene), and S3 (Polyethylene) and therefore are typically lightweight, low-cost, recyclable, and preferred by a wide variety of businesses. All of these factors contribute to the strong demand for these products.
