Market Dynamics:

Driver

Growing e-commerce industry

The e-commerce industry is expanding rapidly in several nations, including the US, China, India, and the UK. The Internet is becoming more widely used, people are becoming more tech-savvy, and the usage of smartphones is all contributing to the rapid growth of the e-commerce industry.

On the other hand, since online sellers do not have to deal with the physical obstacles that physical retailers face, customers may purchase products more simply and with greater knowledge, which leads to better decision-making. The e-commerce packaging market is directly impacted by the expansion of the e-commerce sector. Throughout the projected period, the expansion of the e-commerce sector will fuel the expansion of the worldwide protective packaging market.

Restraint

Concern over cost and environment

Sometimes the cost of superior protective packaging materials and technology is higher than that of conventional substitutes. Cost issues could discourage companies from adopting cutting-edge protective packaging solutions, particularly in those with narrow profit margins. Furthermore, sustainability may act as a constraint in addition to being a driver. It might be difficult to strike a balance between environmental considerations and the necessity of protective packaging. Certain conventional protective packaging materials could not biodegrade or might even worsen the environment. Thus, hampering the market growth over the forecast period.

Opportunity

Development of sustainable and environmentally favorable packaging materials        

The market for environmentally friendly packaging materials has grown as worries about plastic waste and its detrimental effects on the environment have grown. Land, sea, and marine species are all harmed by plastic pollution. These substances eventually make their way up the food chain and affect human health in several ways. To lower the usage of plastics, the government and other stakeholders are promoting the development of environmentally friendly, highly recyclable, and sustainable packaging materials. Bioplastics, seaweed packaging, corrugated bubble wrap packaging, cornstarch, and mushroom packaging are a few examples of such initiatives. Thus, throughout the projection period, market participants will have attractive opportunities to introduce sustainable and eco-friendly packaging materials.
