Packaging share of Thai plastic demand
~40-50% of total consumption
Packaging applications (flexible film, rigid containers, bottles, bags) account for approximately 40-50% of Thailand's total plastic polymer consumption, followed by construction, automotive, and electronics end-uses. Food and beverage packaging dominates flexible demand. Single-use plastic restrictions introduced in 2022-2024 are gradually shifting the mix toward recyclable mono-material structures and biodegradable alternatives.
