Global Plastic Industry Growth Outlook
The global plastics industry is witnessing continuous shift of manufacturing bases to lowcost countries specifically India. This coupled with rise in the number of new
manufacturing establishments are building India’s image as a prime driver of growth in
the plastics industry.
The plastic pipe industry has registered a 15% growth and is likely to maintain the same
growth rate in coming years. Within the industry, the organized plastic pipe segment is
estimated at around 60%, and is likely to register even higher growth driven by shift from
unorganized to organized segment and government focus on agriculture, micro-irrigation,
low cost housing projects and pick up in infrastructure growth.
Moreover, packaging sector is one of the major consumers of plastics followed by
agriculture and infrastructure. Flexible packaging has been the fastest growing sectors in
the packaging industry over the past 10 years driven by changing lifestyle patterns of
growing middle class and focus on convenience and sustainability. Further, this segment
is expected to grow exponentially going ahead.
Flexible packaging is the most economical format of packaging, preserving and
distributing goods, beverages, pharmaceuticals and products demanding extended shelf
life. Management highlighted that the global market for flexible packaging is expected to
grow at an annual average rate of 3.4% during the 2015-2020 (over 20% in case of India)
period reaching USD 248 million. Food packaging occupies over 70% of the world
consumer flexible packaging market and is growing by 4.0% on average in volume terms.
Currently, while North America dominates the global flexible packaging market, however
Asia Pacific is expected to catch up owing to increasing disposable incomes and rising
demand and changing packaging trends in the end user segment. Significant increase in
demand for beverages, packaged foods, pharmaceuticals and personal care products are
the growth drivers in India and neighbouring countries.

4. Peer Group Comparison (As on 30 Dec 2018)
5. Key Concerns / Risks (As on 30 Dec 2018)
i) Domestic extrusion machinery segment is highly fragmented, characterized by
presence of various small and micro players which limits pricing power. Therefore, the
company is exposed to competition from domestic players and imported extrusion
machinery. Also, the segment is technology-intensive and is susceptible to the risk of
technological obsolescence. However, the same is mitigated partly through
company’s technological tie-ups and collaboration with international players such as
Battenfeld-cincinnati (Germany), Unicore Gmbh, Extron Mecanor, Penta Srl Italy.
ii) The demand for extrusion machinery is linked to the capital expenditure (capex)
programme of plastic products manufacturers. The performance of the company
depends on the growth and demand in the end user industries i.e. plastic pipes,
irrigation and agriculture pipes and flexible packaging and their capex cycle. Any
slowdown or delay in the capex of these industries can have negative implications on
the company’s business.
6. Saral Gyan Recommendation (As on 30 Dec 2018)
i) The plastic pipe industry has registered growth of ~15 percent and is likely to maintain
the same growth rate in coming years. Within the industry, the organized plastic pipe
segment is likely to register even higher growth driven by shift from unorganized to
organized segment. Moreover, government focus on agriculture, micro-irrigation, low
cost housing projects and pick up in infrastructure growth will augur well for overall
demand of plastic pipes. Moreover, packaging film industry is also expected to grow
at a healthy rate, driven by food industry, personal care and pharma products. Kabra
Extrusion technik being the largest player in the plastic extrusion machinery with
diversified product portfolio backed by strong management team is expected to be
the direct beneficiary.
ii) The company continued its focus on marketing activities and strengthening its agent
network by participating in various trade fairs and exhibitions. It has made significant
inroads in many new markets. During FY17-18, the company participated in
exhibitions like PlastIndia, Plast Eurasia, Plastic & Rubber – Indonesia, Plast Alger, etc.
to showcase its product portfolio to strengthen its geographical base as well as
clientele. The company demonstrated live and launched Smart Faktory – A digital
extrusion platform at PlastIndia show - 2018. Smart Faktory is a value adding part of
production process, generates real customer benefits by exploring new opportunities
from smart data to ensure real time control & decision for optimisation of product as
well as operations.
iii) The company has also initiated effective steps to widen its products portfolio by
entering into joint venture with M/s. Penta SRL, Italy. Joint venture company, Penta
Auto Feeding India Ltd. has already started manufacturing and supply of auto feeding
systems. The company has also undertaken manufacturing of belling machines
through its subsidiary, Kabra Mecanor Belling Technik Pvt. Ltd., and manufacture
corrugators with technology from Unicor GmbH, Germany. The company has also
imported technology to manufacture flat-drip laterals extrusion lines from Metzerplas
Industries Ltd., Israel.
iv) The company has registered sales CAGR of 8.3%, profit CAGR of 18.9% with ROE of
11.3% over last 5 years. We expect company performance to improve going forward
with increase in capex in micro-irrigation, low cost housing sector and pick up in
infrastructure growth.
v) Kabra Extrusion technik has ventured into corrugated pipes with its collaboration with
Unicor. Corrugated pipe is one of the fastest growing segments in the pipe industry
considering its higher acceptance over cement pipes in sewage and drainage
applications. The company has also introduced other new products like pipe extrusion
lines for foam core pipes, co-rotating twin screw extruders and compounding
machines and lines for lead free compounds and processing applications. Expansion
of the product range across the value chain is expected to augur well for the company
in medium to long term.
vi) Kabra Extrusion technik through constant R&D and Innovation has introduced several
products and solutions for the first time in the plastic extrusion industry since
1970. Moreover, the company is having global collaborations and technical tie ups
with the leading companies in plastic industry, as Battenfeld-Cincinnati (GermanyAustria-USA), Penta SRL (Italy), Greiner (Austria), Unicor (Germany), Extron Mecanor
(Finland). Long term partnerships with global suppliers for access to latest technology
and to increase product offerings will support company to stay ahead of the
competition. This is critical as technological obsolescence could be a key risk in the
industry.
vii) The company is serving business requirement of many reputed players in the plastic
pipe and flexible packaging industry. Companies like Supreme Industries, Finolex
Industries, Astral Poly Technik, Uflex, Ashirwad Pipes, Prince Pipes Systems etc are
clients of Kabra Extrusion technik. As end industry grows with rise in demand and shift
of business from unorganized to organized players, Kabra Extrusion technik with its
diversified client base and strong execution track record is expected to grow as well.
viii) As on Sept’18, promoter’s shareholding in the company is 57.09% without pledging of
any shares. Promoters have increased their shareholding by 0.4% over last 6 months,
increase in shareholding by promoters is positive indicating their confidence in future
growth prospects of the company. Institutional shareholding in the company is low at
1.19%.
ix) The company is paying regular dividend to its shareholders. It paid dividend of Rs. 2
per share for FY2017-18. At current price, dividend yield is 2.78 percent. Moreover,
the company has rewarded shareholders by issuing bonus share in the ratio of 1:1 in
the year 2010.
x) As per our estimates, Kabra Extrusion technik Ltd can deliver net profit of Rs. 23.45
crores in FY 2019-20 with annualized EPS of Rs. 7.35. At current price of 72.15, stock
is available at forward P/E multiple of 9.8X based on FY19-20 earnings. Company’s valuation looks attractive considering expected increase in its profitability with rise in
Govt spending towards improvement in rural infrastructure with focus on low cost
housing and sanitary facilities.

Rs. 7.35 and the Book Value per share is Rs. 73.19. At current market price of Rs. 72.15,

Considering secular growth opportunity in the agriculture and infrastructure industry with
government focus on micro-irrigation, low cost housing projects and infrastructure
development, double digit growth expected in flexible packaging industry driven by rising
demand of packaged food products, personal care products and pharmaceuticals,
