The increased adoption of retail-ready packaging is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as the limited durability of paper bags affect the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Increased adoption of retail-ready packaging is a key driver shaping the market growth. Shelf-ready packaging (SRP) and retail-ready packaging (RRP) were developed to simplify the process of moving goods from crates (cartons) to shelves. These SRP and EIA package options allow for a single smooth move rather than dumping individual units inside a box. Initially, SRP only considered the need to restock retail shelves. RRP, on the other hand, follows a comprehensive strategy that considers shelf restocking, supply chain needs, and customer feedback as a whole. RRPs and SRPs are the most effective way to store goods and quickly accelerate their movement throughout the supply chain. This is important as it increases brand visibility and product identification.
Packaging plays an important role in product demand and lifecycle. Some consumables require simple and flexible packaging materials for convenience and safety. Paper and cardboard containers are suitable for all of the above needs as they come in different shapes and offer packaging solutions for different products. This is due to consumer growth and changing tastes, increasing demand for processed foods. In the retail industry, the growing demand for fast food is calling for lightweight packaging. This also affects market growth. This will boost the demand for EIA packaging in the APAC paper and cardboard containers and packaging market during the forecast period.
The use of QR codes with packaging is a growing trend shaping the market. Placing QR (quick response) codes on paper and cardboard containers and packaging is powerful because consumers can scan the QR code to get fast, direct and specific information about the product. It becomes a marketing tool. It can also be used by businesses to promote their products on social media, get customer feedback, and contact customers to provide support services. Depending on the industry, QR codes can be used for various branding opportunities in paper and cardboard containers and packaging. The types of paper and cardboard containers and packaging that can be used with QR are as follows.
The limited durability of paper bags is a major challenge impeding growth. Single-use plastic bags and packaging will be banned in many countries around the world, including APAC, in 2023, increasing demand for paper bags. However, paper bag durability is a major concern, especially for companies in the food and beverage industry. In most cases, paper bags are not strong enough to support the weight of your groceries. Also, paper bags are not suitable for packaging liquid foods such as juices, sauces, and curries. As a result, food can be wasted because paper bags tear easily. As of June 2022, paper bags will account for over 13% of all food waste from restaurants in Pune, India. It is difficult for restaurants and food service providers to pack liquid food into paper bags for takeaway service, as liquid food spillage can damage the packaging, leading to food waste and food contamination. For example, sauces and juices in paper containers tend to get soggy. This can damage the paper bag and spill the liquid on its way to the customer. Therefore, the durability of paper bags has become a major challenge in paper bag adoption, especially for companies in the food and beverage industry. This may adversely affect the growth of the Asia-Pacific paper and corrugated container packaging market during the forecast period.
