With change in time we have to rethink about changing needs of industry & redefine role of association. Mindset Currently India is processing 8 Kg plastic /head/year. International average is 28 Kg. Five year plan target is 20 kg per head per year by 2020. This means, Indian plastic industry needs to grow 2.5 times in next 8 years. Consumption is growing faster than industry & is being captured by Chinese imports. AIPMA needs to help industry to be able to match & en-cash growth in consumption. We decided to FOCUS AIPMA on Inclusive Growth. India will have largest work force in the world; we need to create productive jobs to give them opportunity to fulfill rising aspirations.For safe society, growth needs to be inclusive. In world Bank ranking of ease of doing business: India is at 132 places out of 183. As association we should make it easier for processors to do business. Strategy & Plan for Growth China processes 56 million tons of plastic, India 8 million tons. China's growth in a year is almost as much as our total capacity. Chinese imports have captured 25% finished goods market & is growing fast. AIPMA instituted a study to see reasons for strength of China & how can we catch up. Dr. Radhakrishnan Pillai author of Corporate Chanakya volunteered & helped us with strategy for free in the larger interest of country. FDI: with foreign direct investment, China also got technology, management, product designs, marketing network from USA & EU investors. This made China strong in Exports, generated jobs, revenue & made China superpower. Indian industry needs FDI to be able to capture the growth in consumption. Long term vision: China is ruled by 26 politburo members. They have vision for growth of country as a whole and can make long term plans. They are not restricted to deliver quarterly profits to shareholders or think only for a department. China has given policy preference for processors to grow. Material, Mould, Machine makers grew as processors grew.
