The $1.24 trillion packaging materials industry shows no signs of slowing down. Europe’s focus on eco-friendly practices and innovations, driven by regulatory initiatives like the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan, is pushing for the adoption of greener packaging materials – with the sustainable packaging market projected to reach $450 billion by 2027. Meanwhile, North America accounts for nearly 35% of the global packaging market and is experiencing similar strides forward.
Both the growing food and beverage sector (valued at $7 trillion globally) and the rapid rise of e-commerce (which saw a 10% increase in 2023) are fuelling the need for advanced packaging solutions. As consumers prioritise the safe transport, storage, and delivery of goods, the packaging industry has never been more critical.
