HPPL supplies packaging materials for many of the top brands in India and commands about 60 % of market share in premium flexible packaging business. HPPL is India's leading Consumer Packaging Company offering a wide range of packaging solutions like Flexible Packaging, Labelling Technologies and Specialised Cartons and all this is supported by the Packaging Machine Division. HPPL provides the customer with Total packaging solutions. HPPL has very long and eminent clients list which includes all major players in FMCG sector.

Product-wise, Laminates and Converted, Coated & Uncoated Paper and Films category accounts for a major portion of HPPL’s total revenues. HPPL derives around 80 % of its revenues from the domestic market, while exports account for the balance 20 %. HPPL is like a one stop shop for FMCG companies for their packaging needs. HPPL is specialised in flexible packaging and with a growing trend of processed food market and with the penetration of untapped rural markets by personal care companies, there will be the increase in use of flexible packaging. HPPL is amongst selected few companies worldwide having expertise in holographic images in packaging medium. This makes the packaging look attractive, thus enhancing the product visibility for premium positioning. Holograms are also popular as a deterrent against counterfeits for product protection. The packaging industry in India is expected to reach $ 73 billion in 2020 from $ 33 billion in FY 16. In the coming years, Indian packaging industry is anticipated to register 18 % annual growth rate, with the flexible packaging and rigid packaging expected to grow annually at 25 % and 15 %, respectively. The Indian packaging industry constitutes about 4 % of the global packaging industry. The per capita packaging consumption in India is quite low at 4.3 kgs, compared to countries like Germany where it is 42 kgs and Taiwan where it is 19 kgs. However, organised retail and boom in e-commerce, which offer huge potential for future growth of retailing, is giving a boost to the packaging sector. Today, plastics are the material of choice in packaging for the sectors such as FMCG, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals etc. Globally, plastics comprise of 42 % of packaging with the combination of rigid and flexible plastics in packaging. Plastics are used heavily for packaging due to innovative visual appeal for customer attraction and convenience. Additionally, they improve the hygiene quotient and shelf-life of the products especially in food and beverages segment. As plastics possess versatile properties it can help us do more with less. One such property is light weight. As plastics are light in weight, they have a high product to package ratio which results in lighter weighed end product. For example, only 1.5 pounds of flexible plastics can deliver approximately 60 pounds of beverage; compared to three pounds of aluminium or 50 pounds of glass. Thus, plastic packaging enables in shipping more products with less packaging material. And also brings down the fuel consumption and the overall transportation cost. Huhtamaki PPL Ltd is setting up a new Flexible Packaging manufacturing unit in Assam which is likely to be commissioned during the first half of 2017, to better service its customers based in North East India. The Company's subsidiary, Webtech Labels Private Limited, is setting up a new label manufacturing unit in Sikkim, to service its customers based in North East India and likely to be commissioned during the first half of 2017. Further, the main Label manufacturing unit of Webtech Labels, located at Mahape, Navi Mumbai, primarily catering to Pharma companies will be relocated to a new state of the art facility in the Greater Mumbai Region by the end of 2017. The combined value of these investments/modernisation is expected to be appx. Rs. 65 crores. As the industry grows and matures, there is expected to be a trend towards consolidation as supply side companies merge and acquire smaller companies to increase scale, reduce competition, and improve bargaining power with customers. The main problems faced by MSMEs are: lack of available sources of credit, high cost of packaging materials, lack of skilled labour, irregular power supply, and an underdeveloped sense of how to market, brand, and distribute. Today, flexible packaging is the fastest-growing sector of India’s packaging industry. The shift from traditional rigid packaging to flexible packaging on account of its attractiveness, cost effectiveness, and strength is largely aided by increasing consumer demand for processed food. The future of the Indian packaging industry is very good, if investment materializes. The growth of the domestic market will be good and export potential is substantial, too, if it’s properly addressed. If organized retail takes off as expected, growth opportunities are substantial, and enormous potential exists in converting wasted food into valuable product.
