STRAPPING MARKET OVERVIEW

The strapping market, valued at USD 4.47 billion in 2024, is forecasted to increase to USD 4.80 billion in 2025 and surpass USD 8.50 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 7.41% from 2025 to 2033.

Applying a strap to an object to combine, stabilize, hold, strengthen, or secure it is known as binding. It is often referred to as belting or bundling. The strap is another name for the bracelet. Strapping is particularly prevalent in the packaging industry. The strap is a thin, flexible material made primarily of steel or other plastics. The most typical uses for strapping involve customising how goods are handled and shipped together, including books, a roof, wood, concrete blocks, etc. securing items to skids, pallets, and containers, strengthening of wooden boxes, boxes, and onions, including gays, Using flatbed semi-trailers to connect things, the unit loading of metal parts, glass containers, bricks, and other materials. shut down production of corrugated boxes and containers, Holding agricultural or textile bales securely, safety of steel or paper spindles, and loading semi-trailers, boxcars, and intermodal containers.

The growth of the export trade industry is a result of the rising number of government efforts and growing public awareness about recycling plastics. Another factor influencing the growth of the industry is the increased popularity of packaged foods in the United States.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

COVID-19 Outbreaks Have A Negative Impact On Market Expansion

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with strapping market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 was launched in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and since then it has quickly spread throughout the world. In terms of confirmed cases and reported deaths as of September 2020, China, Italy, India, Iran, Spain, the Republic of Korea, France, Germany, and the US are among the nations that have been most negatively impacted. According to the most recent WHO statistics, there are 943,433 fatalities worldwide and 30,055,710 confirmed cases. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and company closures caused by COVID-19 have had an impact on the economy and industries of many different nations. One of the primary businesses experiencing severe disruptions as a result of this outbreak is the worldwide construction and packaging sector, which has seen supply chains break down, manufacturing outages due to lockdowns, and office closures. The lockdown of numerous companies and plants in important areas like North America and Asia Pacific is having a detrimental influence on the production, delivery schedules, and sales of various items, as well as the worldwide supply chains. The market for plastic straps is being significantly impacted by all of these causes.

LATEST TRENDS

Expanding Use Of Strapping Materials Leading Market Expansion

One of the main reasons propelling the market is the expanding use of strapping materials in industrial logistics for bundling products and securing pallet loads during transportation and storage. Steel straps are also being used more frequently in the construction sector because of their superior durability, high tensile strength, and tolerance to high temperatures—all of which are ideal for packaging metal. The market is expanding as a result of this and the expanding uses of plastic strapping in the printing sector due to its elongation and recovery properties. In order to include unique elements into the production process, numerous capital venture and investment businesses are also investing in the strap industry. This, together with technology developments like automatic strapping machines are providing industry investors and end users with lucrative growth potential.

• According to the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. retail e-commerce sales reached $284.1 billion in Q1 2024, marking a 7.6% rise from the previous quarter. This increase has directly influenced the demand for strapping materials used in parcel bundling, pallet stabilization, and bulk packaging in logistics.

• As per the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), packaging waste accounts for approximately 82.2 million tons annually. To reduce this impact, over 32% of manufacturers globally have transitioned from traditional polypropylene to recyclable or biodegradable PET and paper-based strapping solutions by 2023.

DRIVING FACTORS

Bio-Based Plastics Are Being Developed More And More For Plastic Straps

Consumers are seeking alternatives as they become more conscious of the need to preserve the environment. The introduction of bio-based materials in several industries, including the packaging business, is motivating package makers. Jairam Strap, an Indian company, produces all-in-one packaging solutions like stretch film, PET straps, PP straps, composite straps, and others that are in more demand on the international market and drawing a larger customer base. Additionally, COVID-19 has promoted online shopping, which is benefiting the packaging sector and is anticipated to boost plastic straps' market revenue development. Other package producers are also attempting to invest more in the development of bio-based plastic straps that can be both environmentally responsible and sustainable.

• According to the Federal Reserve Board's Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization report, the U.S. industrial output grew by 0.9% in June 2024 alone, especially in fabricated metal products and machinery—both of which heavily rely on strapping systems for secure packaging and shipping.

• Data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) shows global air cargo demand increased by 11.1% year-on-year in May 2024. This rise in freight handling has boosted the requirement for high-tensile strapping systems in both palletizing and export-grade packaging.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

PET Recycling Capacity Expansion And Increased Environmental Awareness

PET straps and other materials used to make plastic straps are economical and environmentally friendly, which is increasing demand for them in the global packaging sector. However, as people's knowledge of the environment grows, they are striving to consume less plastic in order to keep the ecosystem in balance, which is reducing the need for plastic straps in the packaging sector. Additionally, many nations are increasing their recycling capacity to address environmental concerns, which is anticipated to impede the market for plastic straps' revenue growth. For instance, on March 8, 2022, the ALPLA Group announced an increase of the PET recycling capacity in Germany, which has a capacity of about 75,000 tonnes annually, which will decrease the region's manufacture of plastic straps.

• According to the European Environment Agency (EEA), plastic packaging represents approximately 60% of the total plastic waste in the EU. With tightening EU regulations under the Single-Use Plastics Directive, companies using plastic strapping must comply with stricter waste management and recyclability standards—raising operational challenges.

• The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for plastic resins and synthetic rubber increased by 8.7% between January 2023 and April 2024. This price instability directly affects the cost structure of plastic-based strapping solutions, limiting their affordability in low-margin sectors.
