Industry overview

The Indian plastic industry is one of the leading sectors in the country’s economy. The history of the plastic industry in India dates to 1957 with the production of polystyrene. Since then, industry has made substantial progress and has grown rapidly. The industry is present across the country and has more than 2,500 exporters. It employs more than 5 million people in the country and constitutes 30,000 processing units; among these, 85-90% belong to small and medium enterprises. India manufactures various products such as plastics and linoleum, houseware products, cordage, fishnets, floor coverings, medical items, packaging items, plastic films, pipes, raw materials, etc. The country majorly exports plastic raw materials, films, sheets, woven sacks, fabrics, and tarpaulin. The government aims to push the industry's economic activity towards a target of Rs 10,00,000 crore ($126 billion) in the next four-five years. The Indian plastic industry is currently a significant economic sector valued at approximately $26.61 billion in 2025, with projections to grow to $44.59 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of roughly 10.9%. 10 Plastic Parks have been approved in the country by The Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals. Among these, six plastic parks have received final approval from the following states – Madhya Pradesh (two parks), Assam (one park), Tamil Nadu (one park), Odisha (one park), and Jharkhand (one park). These parks are intended to boost employment and attain environmentally sustainable growth. 

In FY26 (until August 2025), India’s plastic exports stood at $5.4 billion. During this period, the exports of FIBC woven sacks woven fabrics & tarpaulin and Packaging items - flexible rigid - grew by 24.1% and 10.2%, respectively, over the same period last year. India exports plastic to more than 200 countries in the world. The top five consumer and houseware product importing countries are the USA, Germany Japan, the UK, and France. India largely exports plastic and related products to the USA, the UAE, Nepal, China, Bangladesh, Germany, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Italy, etc. The Plastic Export Promotion Council (PLEXCONCIL) has set a target to increase the plastic exports of the country to $25 billion by 2027. There are multiple plastic parks that are being set up in the country in a phased manner that will help improve the plastic manufacturing outputs of the country. Under the plastic park schemes, the Government of India provides funds of up to 50% of the project costs or a ceiling cost of Rs 40 crore ($5 million) per project.
