1. Vietnam plastic packaging market recorded healthy sales growth with CAGR 2015-20 of 12.5%. The market is driven by increasing demand from end-use sectors such as beverage, sauce & condiment, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, homecare & personal care, agricultural products, export activities, etc.
2. Vietnam flexible packaging market recorded strong performance with CAGR 2015-20 of 12.6%, reaching US$5.1bn in 2020.

4. Flexible packaging manufacturers recorded consecutive declining profit margin with average NPM of 1.7% in 2019, driven by sharply increasing cost of materials including plastic resins. In addition, given fierce competitive landscape and high purchasing power of end-use customers, it is challenging for flexible packaging manufacturers to pass all additional expenses (i.e. increase in raw materials, new investment cost, selling expenses, etc.) to the end-use customers.
5. Rigid plastic packaging market in Vietnam generated CAGR 2015-20 of 11.7% to reach over US$1.5bn in 2020. The strong growth is contributed from both domestic production as well as import activities. The market is dominated by Top 10 manufacturers that accounted for 36.4% of market share in 2019.
6. Rigid packaging companies’ profitability followed the downward trend since 2016 due to rising raw material price. Given capital-intensive nature (i.e. R&D, investment in mold & new production lines, short cycle of products), rigid plastic packaging in Vietnam managed to achieve net profit margin of less than 5% in average.
