The industry employs around 50,000 people and has a local annual demand for 2 lakh tones of flexible packaging material, with 80% being met by domestic companies. The remaining 20% of the demand, primarily pharmaceutical items, is met by imports.
president of the Bangladesh Flexible Packaging Industries Association, said pharmaceutical companies will also begin sourcing local products once the least developed country (LDC) import facilities expire, which will boost the local market further. People involved with the industry said the sector, which was once completely import-dependent, is now meeting around 80% of local demand. Made of non-rigid materials like paper, plastic, aluminum foil, flexible packages are growing popularity for their customized and readily-changing shapes. Major users include food and beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical industries.
Flexible packaging-makers need polyethylene, polyester, nylon, film foil laminations and ink as raw materials. Around 80% of the raw materials are imported, while local sourcing stands at 20%. According to manufacturers, they import these items from China, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, and European countries.
Safius Sami Alamgir, managing director of the country’s first packaging-maker Tampaco Group, sees huge export potential for local players. Tampaco now manufactures packaging items for 485 products in nine segments, including major brands Pran, British American Tobacco Bangladesh and Nestlé.
With 10,000 tons of annual production, Tampaco holds 8%-10% of the domestic market share. But Safius Sami said they are yet to begin direct exports. “We need policy support and government assistance in finding out new markets abroad,” he told.
