With advances driven by continued growth in the popularity of e-commerce (and
m-commerce), global demand for protective packaging is expected to increase
6.5% per year to $33.5 billion in 2021. Growth in manufacturing activity --
particularly in Asia -- will also be a major growth factor.
This study addresses the following questions and more:
- Which product types are gaining or losing in the fast-growing e-commerce market?
- How will environmental concerns influence demand for protective packaging -- both in terms of regulatory requirements and consumer opinion?
- How are protective packaging companies helping users cut transportation and other costs?
