MARKET ANALYSIS

Packaging materials are the materials that are used to provide a protective layer to the products. These layers are divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary; the primary layer is the most critical layer of all. It provides a protective covering to the product to prevent it from spilling and getting contaminated by the external environment. The secondary layer offers a more significant protective covering to the product, thereby enhancing the convenience in handling. Tertiary packaging, or the third level packaging, uses packaging materials to transport the goods in bulk from one place to another.

GROWTH DRIVERS AND CHALLENGES

Growth and expansion of various end-user industries such as healthcare, food and beverages, cosmetics, and the introduction of new products in the market have bolstered the demand for packaging materials. Rising e-commerce shopping due to changing lifestyles is also fuelling the packaging materials market growth. Also, rising disposable income and rising demand for a range of consumer products is the most significant factor determining the packaging materials market growth. The e-commerce industry in the globe has grown exponentially in the last few years. According to the European Commission, 74% of internet users in the European Union shopped online in 2021.

Additionally, as per PostNord AB's report titled 'E-commerce in Europe,' the number of e-commerce consumers in Europe has grown from 286 million in 2019 to 297 million in 2021. Many e-commerce companies such as Tesco and Amazon ensure customers can conveniently shop required commodities online using smartphone e-commerce applications. In the e-commerce value chain, attractive packaging is a crucial strategy for brand owners to differentiate their products. Brand owners are shifting from traditional corrugated boxes to varied packaging options to stand out. The popularity of online shopping is also increasing the use of personalized packaging. Hence, the high preference for online shopping and e-commerce propels the demand for packaging material. However, various plastics used in the packaging materials are not a good option. Ban and various regulations imposed on plastic packaging materials due to environmental concerns will degrade the market growth rate. Additionally, fluctuations in the prices of raw materials will also hinder the market's growth.

IMPACT OF COVID/IMPACT OF GEOPOLITICAL SCENARIO/IMPACT OF RECESSION

The covid-19 pandemic led to a decline in the progress of many industries across the globe. The shutdown of manufacturing plants and restricted trade across the globe led to supply chain constraints for manufacturers across the globe. The packaging materials market experienced a slump during the pandemic due to the limited trade of raw materials globally. Many raw materials used for packaging are imported from countries across the globe, leading to limited availability of products. Moreover, various end-use industries, such as food and beverage, healthcare, personal care, cosmetics, chemicals, etc., declined during this period due to the shortage of raw materials and limited labor supply. This negatively affected the packaging materials market. However, the global marketplace is recovering from the losses as governments of different countries have announced relaxation in the restrictions. Manufacturers can operate at total capacity, helping them overcome the supply gap.

Moreover, the rising vaccination rate positively boosts the industry's overall growth. The pandemic led to a change in consumer habits of purchase. During the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers worldwide shifted toward purchasing food & beverages, and pharmaceutical products online. This factor will open lucrative growth opportunities for the packaging materials market over the forecast period.
