Furthermore, the rising demand for extruded plastic for packaging across the food and beverage sector of the country is anticipated to drive the overall market growth. The market is segmented into two types: by type and by end-user industry.

Brazil’s Extruded Plastic Market: By Type

• Polyethene

Polyethene is the most widely used extruded plastic in Brazil and is forecasted to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Polyethene has excellent mechanical and electrical properties, owing to which it has a wide range of applications in motor housings, sensors, switches, and other electrical applications. It is in high demand across various industries as it is easily recyclable and versatile. There is a growing demand for polyethylene in the food and beverage industry as it has a great barrier property that helps in preserving and protecting the contents of the packed material. It also helps in maintaining the fizz in various carbonated drinks, vitamins, and colours in juices or sauces, owing to which their demand is high across the food and beverage sector of the country.
