The major problem faced by aseptic packaging industries was in the supply of raw materials in the form of plastic, polyethylene, or other materials including metals.

Oil and gas prices went up due to which production cost across the European region went high. Oil prices went up to $ 120/Barrel during March 2022. Prices of natural gas went up to Euro 270/MW hr.

Russia has an exporting capacity of 5 million barrels per day, half of which is exported to the European region. The war caused a decrease in exports of oil and gas.

Metal prices went high at the time of war such as aluminium. Aluminium price went to $ 4100/tonne, which highest till now. This affected production across the globe.

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

The recession has dramatically changed the buying habits of consumers around the world. American spending rose by 40 %. Panic buying, combined with factory closures and global shortages of cardboard and polymers, has caused raw material prices to rise. Operating and labor costs also increased, and food prices soared.

At times of recession Companies’ investment in R & D fell by 13 %, due to which there is a delay in technological advancements in new products. This will restrain the growth of the overall market. New innovations and advancements in any industry give a boost to the market. Hence at times of recession market growth reduces or shows a significant rise.
