Global Packaging Industry : By Packaging Type (Flexible & Rigid), Materials (Metal, Plastic, Paper, And Wooden), Products (Bags, Boxes, Sacks, Barrels, Tanks, And Others), End-User, And Region - Global Forecast To 2023
Packaging Industry Overview
Industrial packaging finds wide application in transporting goods from the producer to the end-user. Within the supply chain, often, the goods are delivered from manufacturing hub to the distribution facility, where the goods are packaged for the final user. The surge in demand for industrial packaging is likely to be stimulated primarily by the expansion of the end user industries such as construction, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, and others. Additionally, the growth of the export and import of goods involving the shipping containers drives the Packaging Industry to a substantial extent.
The shipping container liners find significant application for bulk shipment of goods and commodities. However, strict policies and regulations against the usage of non-degradable packaging might limit the demand for global Packaging Industry during the forecast period. Industrial goods are heavy, bulky, costlier to transport, and sensitive to external environment. Therefore, it is vital to safeguard the product for prolonged period until transportation. The industrial packaging precisely comes in the form of airtight containers. It protects the content from external contamination. Industrial packaging is primarily differentiated from other types of packaging in terms of thickness, strength, and the level of the protection offered by it.
