Plastic is an integral part of the modern lifestyle. The majority of plastic products are made with the help of plastic additives, which makes the end-products safer, cleaner, tougher, and colorful. Plastic additives are chemical substances that are added to a polymeric compound to process, modify or give it specific properties, which makes the end-products more useful. Plastic additives include property modifiers, property extenders, property stabilizers, and processing aids.

Plastic films and sheets are integral parts of society today. With rising global population and disposable income, plastic films and sheets are finding increasing applications in packaging as well as in non-Packaging sector globally. In packaging, plastic films and sheets are used in food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, industrial and other applications. Food packaging is the key driver for plastic films and sheets in packaging sector. In modern days, plastic films are extensively used in flexible packaging. In non-packaging, plastic films and sheets find application in agriculture, construction, medical and health care, consumer goods, and others.
Asia-pacific is the key market for plastic films and sheets with more than 30% of global market share. Rising middle class in China and India is the major driving force for the industry. However, developed regions such as North America and Europe are experiencing slow growth in the sector. However, specialty films and biodegradable films are slowly gaining in importance in such developed economies.
Different materials used for the manufacture of plastic films and sheets include LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, BOPP, CPP, BOPET, Polyamide, polystyrene, polycarbonate, EVOH, PLA and other specialty and high barrier films. PE is the most preferred material for the production of films and sheets. In agriculture, LDPE and LLDPE films are used significantly. However, in packaging applications bi-axially oriented polypropylene film is gaining market share over PE films.
