The global market for agricultural packaging is estimated to witness moderate growth and will post a CAGR of over 4% by 2020. Much of this market’s growth can be attributed to the growing demand for organic food products across the globe. It has been noted that during the forecast period, the demand for organic and natural food will increase due to the consumer’s preference for healthy diets that are gluten-free, low in carbohydrates, and contain fewer antibiotics and growth hormones. Since organic agricultural products require superior packaging to increase the shelf life of the products, an increase in the global demand for organic food will subsequently result in the high demand for agricultural packaging during the forecast period.
Another crucial factor that is estimated to have a positive impact on the growth of this market is the increasing demand for small-sized packs. It has been observed that the global demand for small-sized packs is increasing due to the increasing number of single-person households and their ability to allow brand switching. Additionally, most retailers prefer smaller packages as they occupy less shelf space and allow them to stack more items. Such benefits have compelled packaging companies to expand their product portfolio and material offerings.
This market is highly competitive and characterized by the presence of numerous well-diversified global and regional vendors. The competitive environment in this market is likely to intensify in the future, with an increase in product extensions and innovations in technology. Furthermore, with the growing agricultural production and trade globally, the requirement for packaging is increasing.
