    ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:

    The Global packaging industry was around $485 billion in 2004 with packaging of container for food and drink, healthcare, cosmetics, packaging like woven sacks & FIBC and other consumer goods as well as a range of industrial sectors, packaging has become an essential everyday item, with its usage growing broadly in line with the global economy, global packaging industry is poised to be $1500 billion by 2020, where world packaging is growing at 5% compared to India at 11% average.

    The Indian Packaging Industry is expected to reach $75 billion by 2020 from present $44 billion. Out of above FIBC Industry (our) will be $1 billion by 2020 & woven sacks industry will be 2 Billion $.

    The health of the packaging industry is linked to that of the world economy as a whole. However, reliant upon upstream industries for their raw materials, packaging converters have to cope with fluctuations in raw material prices, dependent upon levels of supply and demand. In a climate of low overall inflation, rising prices for raw materials (particularly plastic resin) have put something of a squeeze on converters. Downward pressure on prices is being exerted by brand owners and retailers alike – exacerbated by moves towards consolidation at all levels of the supply chain. In addition, moves towards central purchasing by packaging buyers have also impacted upon

    packaging margins. The growing use of ecommerce and reverse auctions has made the whole business of materials sourcing (especially in commodity areas) much simpler, promoting cost efficiency for users of consumables.

    BUSINESS OVERVIEW DURING THE YEAR:

    The financial year under reference was a year of struggle for the company as the Companies performance has declined this year, in comparison to last 2 financial year as the company was Not-operating Business due to strike, & due Lock-out in the factory unit, since 1st Nov.2013

    On the other hand the progression of packaging demand is influenced by a wide range of factors, from year to year and also factors with a much longer-term influence. While the economy plays a central role in influencing the size and growth of the market, there are a number of other factors which can be seen as having a direct or at least indirect influence on packaging demand or, at any rate, the nature of this demand, irrespective of the performance of the economy. These includes The ageing of the population, The trend towards smaller households, The increasing requirement for convenience among consumers, The trend towards 'on-the-go' lifestyles among increasingly time- poor consumers, Growing requirements for brand enhancement/ differentiation in an increasingly competitive environment and new packaging material development Increasing awareness of environmental issues, and the adoption of new regulatory requirements on packaging recycling Out of all these factors, health awareness was regarded as the single most important driver to growth in the packaging industry. The ageing of the populations throughout the world was considered the least important driver to growth in the market, although even in this case, more than half of all respondents considered this to be important to some degree.

    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

    The Management of TEXPLAST INDUSTRIES LTD in its Analysis Report has highlighted the performance and outlook of the Company in order to comply with the requirement of Corporate Governance as laid down in Clause 49 of the Listing Agreement. However, investors and readers are cautioned that this discussion contains certain forward looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.

    GLOBAL OVERVIEW:

    According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economy is expected to grow at approximately 3.2% in 2016. USA is showing signs of strong fundamentals (low unemployment, consumer spending etc.), which continue to support recovery. Asia contributed on an average two-thirds to the global economic growth in the past few years and is expected to continue driving this growth in 2016. Japan is expected to remain steady while China is expected to witness a marginal slowdown in growth.

    Risks to global growth in the form of deflation, slowdown in China, lower commodity prices and interest rate hike in USA continue to weigh heavily on the growth momentum and outlook.

    GDP growth in Europe is expected to remain low as the strength of supportive factors (accommodative monetary policy, low energy prices and Euro depreciation) diminishes, amidst uncertainty relating to Britain’s referendum, migrant crisis and geo- political tensions. Europe continues to face multiple headwinds due to high debt levels, a fragile banking sector and increasing political impasse.

    India is expected to continue its growth momentum in Financial Year 2016-17 on the back of robust manufacturing sector growth. Further, various measures such as ‘Make in India’, ‘Smart Cities’, ‘Digital India’ that the Government has been taking in the last couple of years are beginning to show results and the gradual implementation of structural reforms will continue to broaden and contribute towards higher growth.

    The global textile industry was affected by volatile raw material and finished goods prices, result was that the exchange rate fluctuations, increase in costs and inconsistent governmental policies. The Indian market also witnessed a decline in textile exports.

    OUTLOOK OF THE EUROPEAN FLEXIBLE PACKAGING MARKET:

    The flexible packaging market in Europe is envisaged to witness steady growth and will post a moderate CAGR of close to 6% over the forecast period. One of the key factors spurring the growth prospects of this market is the increasing demand for plastic-based flexible packaging products. Plastic is one of the major raw materials used for manufacturing flexible packaging as it is highly versatile and can be easily moulded into different shapes and sizes. This flexible nature of plastic makes it an ideal packaging material. Moreover, plastic is lightweight which makes it less expensive that other materials because of its low handling and carrying costs. With plastic increasingly replacing metal and glass packaging, its demand is anticipated to increase in the coming years.

    The manufacturers of packaging products are constantly trying to adapt their packaging designs to suit different requirements as each retail chain has a slightly different approach toward packaging. Furthermore, merchants tend to demand attractive packaging that not only uses less shelf space but also increases the shelf life of products. To address this growing demand, vendors are increasingly focussing on developing small-sized and attractive packages during the predicted period.

    During 2015, the confectionary products segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 22% of the market share in terms of revenue. The growing demand for confectionery products in Europe, especially in the Western European countries, will contribute to the growth prospects of this market until the end of 2020. Segmentation by raw material and analysis of the flexible packaging market in Europe

    • Plastic • Paper • Aluminum foil

    Plastic led the global flexible packaging market and is expected to reach more than 21 billion by the end of 2020. The primary reason for the increasing popularity of plastics is its highly versatile nature of plastic, which enables it to be converted into a number of shapes, sizes, and designs. Also, plastic is more flexible, durable, and cost-effective than the other materials used for packaging which will lead to its increased adoption during the predicted period.

  • TEXPLAST INDUSTRIES LTD. 45TH ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

    The flexible packaging market in Europe is highly fragmented owing to the presence of several well-established international and local players. There is intense competition among the market vendors in terms of product differentiation, portfolio, and pricing. Also, the vendors in the market are expanding their businesses by setting up new manufacturing plants and launching new products in the emerging countries.

    The International Monetary Fund trimmed its outlook for global economic growth, as anemic output in Europe and Japan hobble the recovery and emerging markets struggle with rising borrowing costs. The U.S. growth of 2.8% this year should help perk up prospects for many emerging markets, where output is slowing

    INDIAN ECONOMIC REVIEW:

    Indian Economy Amid the bleak global economic scenario, India remained a shining beacon on the fiscal landscape. India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 7.6% in FY 2016 compared to 7.2% in FY 2015 as per the Central Statistical Office (CSO), enabling India to retain the tag of the world’s fastest growing major economy. The overall investment climate, though still short of expectations, is seen improving. Fast tracking of stalled infrastructure projects, thrust on reforms and adherence to fiscal deficit target were among the other encouraging economic developments for the year. The collapse in oil prices, relatively low exposure of India to the current global financial turbulence, and India’s strong domestic consumption led growth story are expected to favour the Indian markets. The IMF forecasts India to be the fastest growing economy even in 2016.

    INDIAN INDUSTRIAL OVERVIEW:

    Indian packaging industry turnover to reached $32 billion in 2015-16 & expected to reach by 2020 $73 billion:

    With a turnover of $24.6 billion and a growth rate of 13% to 15% annually, the Indian packaging industry is expected to reach $32 billion by 2020. Here’s a look at key facts and drivers.

    The per-capita consumption of packaged beverages and food in India is still very low compared to other regions. However, expenditure on these products has doubled in the last five years. Within the next five years it will increase by another 14 per cent annually, as the demand for processed food is rising due to growing disposable incomes, urbanization, and a young population.

    Keep an eye on the Indian foodservice industry too. Currently it’s estimated to be nearly $13.79 billion. But it’s growing at a healthy compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17 per cent, which has significant implications for the packaging sector.

    Plans are currently in place, thanks to public and private funding, to establish 30 to 40 mega food parks. Corresponding infrastructure for packing, packaging transport, and refrigeration are part of these plans, so this development is expected to give food manufacturing—and, by extension, packaging—a big boost. In fact, by 2015 more than $25 billion is to be pumped into the food sector and the required infrastructure.

    Packaging has an annual global turnover of about $550 billion, and India’s share is about $16.5 billion per annum. According to a recent Mckinsey report, there will be a ten-fold increase in India’s middle class population by 2025, which will further trigger the consumption of packaging materials. This will bring another growth spurt to packaging, says the Mckinsey report, which also notes that the country needs more packaging professionals.

    According to the Packaging Industry Association of India (PIAI), packaging in India is one of the fastest growing sectors, partly because it spans almost every industry segment. Right from packaging of food and beverages, fruits and vegetables, drugs and medicines, to highly dangerous products, packaging has led to greater specialization and sophistication over a period of years.

    At present, the Indian Packaging Industry is ranked 11th in the world, and industry experts are of the opinion that packaging in India is expected to grow to $16.5 billion by 2015. However, according to a report conducted by the New Delhi based Centre for Market Research & Social Development, packaging in India is highly fragmented and has 22,000 firms, including raw material manufacturers, machinery suppliers, and providers of ancillary materials and services. Moreover, 85% of these firms are Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). 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 report said.

    The future of the Indian packaging industry is very good, the report notes, 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. To maximize the potential that packaging represents, the Indian government is in consultation with a number of

    24 | P a g e

  • TEXPLAST INDUSTRIES LTD. 45TH ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16

    industry experts. For example, PIAI is formulating effective policies and guidelines aimed at helping Indian companies gain in the international market.

    The per capita consumption of packaging in India is merely 4.3 kg per person per annum (Figure 1). By comparison, Germany is at 42 kg and Taiwan at 20 kg. According to Purandeswari, the challenges that the industry is facing today include lack of regulatory clarity in packaging, insufficient consumer awareness of sustainable packaging, and uncertainty about green packaging materials. In the Indian packaging industry, processed food packaging represents 48% of the total, personal care packaging is 27%, pharma is 6%, and the rest is 19% (Figure 2).

    The packaging market in India seems set for the next level of growth. Strong favorable demographic factors such as increasing disposable income levels and rising consumer awareness and demand for processed food are helpful. So is the rise of the Indian middle class, which is expected to go from today’s 50 million to 583 million in 2025. Also important is that the world’s multinational giants are taking rapid strides in India’s food, beverage, health and beauty, and pharmaceuticals sectors. This will also drive growth in packaging. These factors are forcing both packaging suppliers and end users to shift from bulk packaging to retail, unit-level, small-sized packaging. In addition, exploding organized retail growth and newly relaxed investment norms in retail and other sectors augur well for the packaging market in India.

    While the forecast for packaging in India is promising, there are some challenges. For example, will stakeholders in the Indian packaging sector be able to leverage the right technologies to match emerging trends? Also problematic is the lack of regulatory clarity arising from multiple legislations that define the sector; as more global players enter, this will need to be addressed. And as consumers grow increasingly aware of the benefits of sustainable packaging, this will require a shift to more green materials and innovations that require investments in R&D as well as infrastructure.

    Smithers Pira expects the global packaging industry to grow to $820 billion by 2016, and the Indian packaging industry is growing at a rate of about 18 percent annually. Packaging of essential products like food, beverage, milk, vegetable, food grains, and pharma are the key driving segments because of the huge domestic consumption.

    So what it all comes down to is that packaging represents enormous opportunities for India—if key investments are made, regulations ironed out, and opportunities seized.

    Introduction

    The Indian Packaging Industry is growing at more than 11% per annum and is expected to cross a turnover of $21.59bn by 2015. India stands at the 11th position in the world packaging industry, which is $550-billion, and with the rising consumer demand and new technologies, it is expected to grow at 18-20 per cent from the current 15 per cent. At the expected growth pace Indian Packaging Industry will soon climb up to the 4th position in the world packaging industry.

    India’s textiles sector is one of the oldest industries in Indian economy dating back several centuries. Even today, textiles sector is one of the largest contributors to India’s exports with approximately 11 per cent of total exports. The textiles industry is also labour intensive and is one of the largest employers. The industry realised export earnings worth US$ 41.4 billion in 2014-15, a growth of 5.4 per cent^. The textile industry has two broad segments. First, the unorganised sector consists of handloom, handicrafts and sericulture, which are operated on a small scale and through traditional tools and methods. The second is the organised sector consisting of spinning, apparel and garments segment which apply modern machinery and techniques such as economies of scale.

    The textile industry employs about 40 million workers and 60 million indirectly. India's overall textile exports during FY 2015-16 stood at US$ 40 billion.

    The Indian textiles industry is extremely varied, with the hand-spun and hand-woven textiles sectors at one end of the spectrum, while the capital intensive sophisticated mills sector at the other end of the spectrum. The close linkage of the textile industry to agriculture (for raw materials such as cotton) and the ancient culture and traditions of the country in terms of textiles make the Indian textiles sector unique in comparison to the industries of other countries. The Indian textile industry has the capacity to produce a wide variety of products suitable to different market segments, both within India and across the world.

    Market Size

    The Indian textiles industry, currently estimated at around US$ 108 billion, is expected to reach US$ 223 billion by 2021. The industry is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing employment to over 45 million people directly and 60 million people indirectly. The Indian Textile Industry contributes approximately 5 per cent to India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and 14 per cent to overall Index of Industrial Production (IIP).

    The Indian textile industry has the potential to reach US$ 500 billion in size#. The growth implies domestic sales to rise to US$ 315 billion from currently US$ 68 billion. At the same time, exports are implied to increase to US$ 185 billion from approximately US$ 41 billion currently.

    Investments

    The textiles sector has witnessed a spurt in investment during the last five years. The industry (including dyed and printed) attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) worth US$ 1.85 billion during April 2000 to March 2016. Some of the major investments in the Indian textiles industry are as follows:
