1. Introduction
Consumption of plastics is directly proportional to the economic growth of plastic industry of respective
country. India has low consumption of plastics at 2% of total consumption of the world, whereas USA has 40 % and
China has about 20%. Domestic demand has reached from 1.8 MMT in 1995-96 to 4.47 MMT in 2005-06. Riding on
the current growth rate the same is expected to reach at 9.5 MMT up to 2012 [1]. At 15% Compound Annual Growth
Rate (CAGR) consumption of plastics in India is expected to reach at 18.9 MMT up to 2015. [2].The sectorial analysis
showed the Agriculture and Infrastructure sectors have less demand however plasticulture and packaging has large
scope to plastic consumption. Plasticulture will be main driver to boost agriculture GDP, micro irrigation could be
one of the major to promote plastic consumption for this sector. Indian Government is giving more emphasis to
Agriculture sector to ensure food security and availability for end user. Hence sectorial dependence supports the
growth of plastic industry for several years in future.
