The global packaging materials industry is now valued at over $1.3 trillion, driven by rapid growth in e-commerce, food logistics and sustainability regulation. Governments and large consumer brands are accelerating the shift toward recyclable and low-carbon packaging, with the sustainable packaging market forecast to exceed $450 billion before 2030. The key modern drivers behind those growth forecasts are as a result of ESG regulation, plastic reduction and e-commerce logistics.
North America accounts for over 25% of the global packaging market. Both the growing food and beverage sector (valued at $7 trillion globally) and the rapid rise of e-commerce continuing are fuelling the need for advanced packaging solutions.
