Growth Driver

Rapidly growing flexible packaging industry

Flexible packaging is a solution that manufacturers turn to for a variety of reasons. For starters, it’s less expensive than rigid packaging. But, it also contributes superior durability and product protection. The rapidly increasing growth of the flexible packaging industry is a significant driver of the global tube packaging industry. As per the Flexible Packaging Association, the US flexible packaging revenue in 2018 was about USD 31.8 billion. The sales proposed to grow at 8.1% to reach USD 293.03 billion by 2022. Flexible packaging is the second largest tube packaging segment in the US, representing 19 % of the total packaging market. The flexible packaging industry is profoundly impacted by the economic growth of various industries such as cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals. In the coming years in the APAC region, the industry is predicted to witness a massive increase due to the growing middle-class population. Countries such as China, India, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Brazil are the emerging markets for flexible packaging and are predicted to witness fast growth during the forecast period. However, the stringent government regulations to minimize the impact of waste and its harmful by-products for the environment’s safety, fauna, and flora are supposed to restrain the market.

COVID-19 Impacts Insights

Recently, the outbreak of COVID-19 has vigorously affected the packaging industry of developed and developing countries globally. The manufacturing facilities spread across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the World. COVID-19 has also been impacted due to the partial and complete lockdown. However, due to the pandemic, consumption trends have witnessed a shift, and flexible packaging has gained much more importance, mainly because of the hazards attached to non-packaged products. This resulted in higher production and sales volume. Further, the demand for tube packaging in the pharmaceutical industry is supposed to remain robust as hospitals, drugs, and PPE manufacturers are responding to the crisis. The need for household cleaning products, healthcare, and medical goods does not decrease dramatically. Retail distribution for these types of goods through online channels can be assumed to increase.
