Description :

Three disruptive eras in the global packaging industry:

Packaging is a critical enabler for the everyday lives of most consumers. It helps to support the purchasing decision journey in retail stores, creates cost-efficient delivery systems for brand owners, minimizes product breakage and food waste throughout the value chain, and facilitates the consumer’s need for convenience. In 2019, we outlined five major trends we expected to change the game in the diverse $1 trillion-plus packaging industry: e-commerce, changing consumer preferences, margin compression, sustainability, and digitization. We predicted that these trends would raise the bar for performance over the next five to ten years. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic made food safety and hygiene a sixth key industry-shaping trend. Overall, the strategic importance of well-functioning and cost-efficient packaging materials for customers in the value chain accelerated, given the stretched supply chains of the pandemic. What now lies in store for the packaging industry during the next normal up to 2030? How can CEOs navigate these choppy waters?

To understand the future, industry leaders must consider where the packaging industry is coming from. Each of the three eras we identified (Exhibit 1) has been characterized by major changes in consumer behavior (factor 1), which promoted innovation and the development of new packaging products (factor 2). Changes in the market and global environment ultimately led to renewed corporate and value-chain structures as well (factor 3).

In the context of today’s era of disruption, transformational change in markets, and increasing volatility, these are the six priority moves that industry leaders can use to create resilience, capture growth, and navigate transformational change.

  1. Sustainability: Invest where it matters to consumers and regulators.
  2. Growth: Win by identifying granular pockets of opportunity.
  3. Procurement and the supply chain: Use strategic category management to get ahead of inflation and supply headwinds.
  4. Pricing excellence: Recapture inflation and use it to capture margins.
  5. Talent: Attract, retain, and retrain employees, and get the return to work right.
  6. Digital and e-commerce: Embrace digitization (including the use of automation) in the front, back, and middle of processes.

Retail Ready Packaging Market Research, 2031

The global retail ready packaging market size was valued at $65.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $107.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2031. Retail ready packaging is a kind of secondary packaging that displays brands of products, which help in product identification. Retail ready packaging exhibits numerous benefits for retailers as well as brand owners; for instance, its design helps in effective and efficient stocking and sales. In addition, it provides easy transportation with easy shelf replenishment to retailers while displaying brand without removing external secondary packaging, which acts as a value-added specialty for brand owners.

Increase in demand for packaged processed foods & beverages is expected to spur growth of the market. Growth in fast moving consumer goods which mainly consist of packed food is anticipated to boost the retail ready packaging market growth. FMCG goods raised demand for retail ready packaging, owing to its creative and effective functional design that helps retailers in product identification to facilitate effective stocking, improve store efficiency, and reduce labor efforts by placing products directly on retail shelves without unpacking inner contents and turnover time for re-stocking that ultimately increase sales and profit of a store. Other than these benefits, it helps in improving shelf life of fragile and sensitive products. From consumer’s perspective, its product identification character facilitates consumers with convenient shopping experience, which propels the growth of the retail ready packaging industry in global market.
