Beach towels are of finer quality and often larger than regular towels as they are largely used to recline on the sand at the beach. These towels are typically used for sunbathing, relaxing on the sand, and drying off after swimming. Beach towels come in a variety of tones and hues. The growing inflow of tourists at beaches is one of the frequent yet important factors boosting the beach towel market growth.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Beach Towels Market
In 2020, various industries had to slow down their operations due to disruptions in value and supply chains caused by the shutdown of national and international boundaries. The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected economies and industries due to lockdowns, travel bans, and business shutdowns. Disruptions in the supply chains of key raw materials and irregularities in manufacturing processes due to restrictions imposed by government authorities had a direct impact on the consumer goods industry, which hampered packaging materials’ production and demand. Despite a decline in demand for certain types of packaging, the need for packaging suitable for e-commerce shipments surged in 2020 and 2021. This can be attributed to a rise in online purchases of consumer goods and significant measures taken by governments of various countries.

Flourishment of E-Commerce Fueling Market Growth
The increasing penetration of Internet and smartphones, easy access to emerging technologies, rising purchasing power, and convenience of shopping from anywhere anytime provided by online retail platforms are among key factors bolstering e-commerce. Moreover, people increasingly prefer online retail platforms for purchasing household products and apparel. For instance, Sand Cloud (an online beach towel company) made US$6 million in sales in 2019, an increase of US$3.6 million from 2016. Heavy discounts, wide availability of different brands on one platform, and home delivery options are other notable factors driving the demand for online shopping.
