The demand for organic personal care products in the country is on the rise owing to changing consumer preferences for natural ingredients. Organic products are mostly sold in small quantities and at a premium cost, which will drive demand for tube packaging as it enables efficient and precise dispensing.

Fluctuating raw material prices, which include plastics, aluminum, and other laminates, are expected to create challenges for the market growth. Plastic material majorly includes polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene. The prices of these polymers are sensitive to the crude oil prices, which are highly volatile. Moreover, rising environmental concerns and stringent government regulations regarding the use of plastic and its disposal are expected to hinder the market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing curbs on the usage of plastic are expected to create opportunities for innovative materials including bioplastics, aluminum, and others. Plastics like polylactic acid are primarily derived from renewable energy sources, such as corn starch, sugarcane, chips, tapioca roots, and other starches. Polylactic Acid is the most consumed bioplastics around the globe. Biodegradability, recyclability, and non-toxicity are the key factors driving the demand for bioplastics around the globe.

Products primarily reach the end-users like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics manufacturers through distributors. However, many global end-users have established direct contact with the manufacturers to reduce the cost and ensure uninterrupted supply. Moreover, some tube packaging manufactures have allowed the user to directly order from their websites as these portals allow direct contact between the supplier and customer as well as improves the profitability of both parties by reducing the distributor costs.
