The Packaging Industry in Pakistan

  • Pakistan's packaging industry has an approximate size of USD~5.53bln (PKR~897bln) in FY20 as compared to USD~5bln (PKR~750bln) in FY19. The local packaging industry consists of four major segments, paper, plastic, tinplate and glass.
  • The packaging industry derives its demand from various industries. One of the major sources of demand for plastic packaging is the food and beverage industries.
  • • Despite the existence of a large number of players, the packaging industry does not have an industry association to represent and lobby in favor of its interests. However, some segments have their own associations such as the Flexible Packaging Association of Converters of Pakistan and Pakistan Plastic Manufacturers Association.
  • This boosting economy in Pakistan will continue to drive demand for industrial inkjet printer, printing equipment, printing parts, printing consumables such as inks, make ups and cleaning solutions.

The Manufacturing Industry in Pakistan

  • Manufacturing is the third largest sector of the economy, accounting for 18.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 13 percent of total employment.
  • Because of a global shortage in availability of cotton, largely due to a shortfall in Chinese crop, which is the biggest producer and consumer of cotton in the world, the foreign demand for Pakistan’s cotton yarn has risen exceptionally.
  • Set in this difficult medium term context, the Manufacturing sector has performed well in the outgoing year, with overall value addition rising 5.2% in the first nine months of the fiscal year. Production in Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) rose by 4.4 percent during July to March, against the full year target of 1.8%, and compared to a contraction of 7.7 percent in the same period of last year.
  • Hence, Pakistan’s expanding manufacturing sector has increased demand for printing and industrial ink such as Videojet ink, Inkjet refills, and Hitachi parts.

Why Should Pakistan Import Printers and Ink?

  1. Availability - The local industry has limited capacity and some clients in Pakistan require printers and ink promptly.
  2. High Product Cost - Given the domestic competition in Pakistan, printers and the continuous ink supply are more expensive to buy domestically than on the world market.
  3. Product Quality - While most international suppliers have a good brand reputation and quality, some smaller domestic manufacturers in Pakistan can have variant product quality.
