Analysts’ Viewpoint on Paper Packaging Materials Market Scenario

Manufacturers in this market are maintaining optimum inventory levels to ensure a robust supply of products amid ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. Even though paper packaging is associated with advantages such as sustainability and versatility, issues including poor barrier properties and slow anaerobic (oxygen-absent) biodegradation rate in environments without oxygen, such as landfills, are challenging for stakeholders in the value chain. Hence, manufacturers in the paper packaging materials market should increase the availability of water-soluble board stock, which qualifies as compostable in 40 days as it passes the ASTM D6868-11 testing method. They should also increase R&D in materials that have passed the international OECD 301B testing method and thus, demonstrate that they biodegrade rapidly and completely in aquatic environments.

Comprehensive Applications of Paper Packaging Materials Generating Value-grab Opportunities

Companies in the paper packaging materials market are unlocking revenue streams in beverages, fresh foods, fast foods, frozen foods, dairy & bakery, pet foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Of these, beverages have been holding the leading revenue share in the past few years. On the other hand, the combined share of frozen foods, fast foods, and fresh foods in the same year is significant and expected to rise at the major CAGR during the forecast period.

The demand for paper packaging materials for frozen foods, fast foods, and fresh foods is driven by their vast demand for wrapping food products. In addition, recent advances in materials used for paper packaging and constant advancement in manufacturing technologies have led to the emergence of highly functional packaging, such as those which are leakproof.
