The increased adoption of corrugated boxes is notably driving the retail-ready packaging market growth, although factors such as rising prices of wood pulp and paper may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the retail-ready packaging industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Retail-ready Packaging Market Driver
The increased adoption of corrugated boxes is one of the key drivers supporting the retail-ready packaging market growth. Corrugated boxes are available in several forms and serve as packaging solutions for various products such as food, beverages, durable and non-durable products. This will drive the retail-ready packaging market. In the retail sector, the high demand for fast food requires lightweight and convenient packaging, which helps the market to grow. They are expected to contribute significantly to the total revenue of the market. Furthermore, corrugated packaging facilitates easy and quick material handling, which helps in the easy replenishment of the products, besides enabling retailers to make optimum utilization of shelf space which adds to the cost reduction for the retailers and manufacturers. Such beneficial attributes will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Key Retail-ready Packaging Market Trend
M and A leading to market consolidation is one of the key trends contributing to the retail-ready packaging market growth. To gain an edge in the market, many companies have stepped forward to reduce competition through inorganic growth. For example, DS Smith acquired Interstate Resources, a US-based manufacturer and supplier of corrugated packaging products, in August 2017. In June 2018, DS Smith acquired Corrugated Container Corporation in the US and announced the proposed acquisition of Europac, a leading Western European integrated packaging business. Another example is the acquisition of KapStone Paper and Packaging by WestRock, which received a green signal from the European Commission in 2017. Thus, companies stepping forward to reduce competition will positively impact the market during the forecast period.
Key Retail-ready Packaging Market Challenge
Rising prices of wood pulp and paper is one of the factors hindering the retail-ready packaging market growth. Over the last few years, since 2019, paper mills raised the prices of kraft paper, which is the main raw material for the industry, by $20 to $40 per ton. However, buyers of corrugated boxes refuse to pay higher prices despite repeated requests. The profit margin for the packaging industry has contracted because of the rise in the price of all raw materials, mainly kraft paper, which is estimated to be around 70% to 76% of the total input cost. Moreover, the increase in prices by paper mills is met by resistance by packaging users. This can compel many manufacturers to shut down their operations. Thus, the shutdown of the corrugated cardboard industry will have a drastic impact on the retail-ready packaging market since it is among the important raw materials.
