The growth of food delivery and takeaway services is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as environmental concerns over the use of plastic packaging may impede the market growth. Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the market's key drivers, trends, and challenges. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growth of food delivery and takeaway services is the key factor driving the global packaging market share. Food delivery and takeaway services are growing at a significant pace, driven by a rise in urbanization, the busy and hectic lifestyles of consumers, a surge in mobile phone penetration, and an increase in the adoption of m-commerce. There is a significant rise in online food ordering owing to an increase in the number of online platforms that offer such services.
Currently, as most people around the globe are familiar with the use of the Internet and mobile applications, many people prefer to order food through mobile applications and online portals. It is also more convenient and less costly than offline ordering because of better deals/discounts. Many restaurants have become accessible owing to the availability of online services, and restaurants provide food offered through online services at competitive prices. Therefore, with the growth of food delivery and takeaway services, the global packaging market is anticipated to grow simultaneously during the forecast period.
The market strategies by vendors will fuel the global packaging market growth. The continuous development of new products by vendors is one of the main trends in the global packaging market. Product developments by some vendors will encourage other vendors to introduce innovative products to remain competitive in the global packaging market.
Amcor Plc's new AmFiber is a recyclable package for coffee, drink powders, snacks, candy, seasoning, and soups. Based on the growing demand for aluminum cans worldwide, Ball announced the expansion of its operations in South America in June 2022, with a new manufacturing plant in the city of Chilca in Peru. The operation will have a production capacity of over 1 billion beverage cans a year and will begin operation in 2023. Global vendors are strengthening their customer base by enhancing their product offerings and expanding their geographic reach. Such factors are expected to positively impact the growth of the global packaging market share during the forecast period.
Environmental concerns over the use of plastic packaging are a major challenge to the global packaging market growth. Environmental concerns associated with the use of plastic packaging are a major challenge in the global packaging market. Although various types of packaging are extremely efficient in protecting the products inside, the demand for those may fall in the future due to the use of plastic packaging. Disposable packaging used for food is one of the major sources of non-recyclable solid waste globally. Most food service establishments prefer plastic disposable packaging variants as they are less costly and retain the temperature of food for a longer period. However, there are several concerns over the disposal of various types of polymers used in disposable plastic products.
Food delivery and takeaway activities are leading to the accumulation of a large amount of solid plastic waste. Most of the disposables used for food delivery are made of polystyrene or polypropylene, which do not decompose easily. Moreover, when polystyrene degrades, it breaks down into styrene monomer, styrene dimer, and styrene trimer, all of which are carcinogenic. The governments of various countries have undertaken several initiatives to promote the use of bioplastics. Such initiatives may reduce the use of plastic packaging, thereby affecting the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

APAC is projected to contribute 41% of market growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
The packaging market in APAC is growing at a steady pace across the region. Developing economies such as China and India are expected to emerge as major revenue contributors to the packaging market in the region, primarily due to rapidly expanding end-user industries such as e-commerce, FMCG, and personal care. APAC also has a very high concentration of manufacturing industries, which, in turn, increases the need for packaging. Furthermore, the e-commerce industry is growing in countries such as China, India, and Japan. The growth of this business sector is attributed to the rise in population in the region, which has created an increase in the overall demand for goods through online channels.
This packaging market analysis report forecasts the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the market. In addition, we have included the COVID-19 impact and the recovery strategies for each segment. The outbreak of COVID-19 led to a decline in demand for packaging in APAC. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the regional packaging market. Governments of various countries in the region, such as China, India, and Japan, imposed nationwide lockdowns, which led to the shutdown of manufacturing units of various end-user industries, including food and beverage and personal care. Thus, the regional demand for packaging declined. However, in 2021, due to the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and the large-scale vaccination drives carried out by the governments of countries in APAC, such as China, India, and Japan, manufacturing operations in end-user industries gradually resumed normally. Therefore, the demand for packaging will increase, which will lead to the regional packaging market's growth during the forecast period.
