Indian manufacturers are quality-conscious and make products of international standards. India has over 50,000 plastics processors, mainly consisting of MSMEs, having 153,500 plastics processing machines. The Indian plastics industry employs approximately 5 million people across the entire value chain.
Accelerated globalisation, significant investments, rapid change in technology, growing consumerism, rising incomes and growth in retail, automotive, healthcare and agriculture have brought about new changes and abundant opportunities for the Indian plastics industry to grow locally and globally.
