Plastic Bottles Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Raw materials (polyethylene terephthalate or PE or PLAs), labor, machinery, transportation, and packaging are some of the costs incurred in manufacturing plastic bottles. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the major raw materials to manufacture the bottle. Hence, fluctuations in the raw material prices can significantly impact the production costs. The price of PET pellets as of November 2023, was around USD 8,000 to USD 9,000 per ton. In November 2023, the cost of processing a 500ml bottle was approximately USD 0.3 to USD 0.5 per bottle. Packaging costs include capping and bagging and cost around USD 0.1 per bottle. The overall cost of producing a typical 500ml plastic water bottle can be around USD 1 - 1.5 per bottle. To determine the final cost of a product, various factors are taken into consideration, such as the price and quality of raw materials, production technology, labor costs, transportation costs, and market demand.

As part of the plastic bottles procurement strategy, clients such as beverage companies fully outsource their bottle manufacturing. Outsourcing container production helps them in cost saving, giving access to specialized services, improving product quality, and getting exposure to sustainable production. The quality of the bottle is a critical factor in the procurement of the product, and procurement professionals should choose providers that offer better quality bottles in different sizes, shapes, and types. Procurement professionals or leaders must check the type of plastic used and the suitability for the end-use. China, Mexico, and Vietnam are some of the preferred countries for sourcing and procurement of plastic bottles. China is the largest producer of plastic globally. Around 20,000 bottles are produced across the world as of 2023.
