Green Packaging Overview

Green packaging is also known as sustainable packaging. Packaging is the most important feature of the finished goods as it helps in protecting the quality and texture of products. Sustainable packaging includes recycled or reused packaging which helps in reducing waste and energy.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Green Packaging Market

The occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic has proved to have a moderate impact on green packaging market size growth. As the impact of COVID-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the health and wellbeing of the people across the world, the fear of infection and its severe symptoms have settled in the patients. Amid high rate of corona virus transmission and prevalence of serious symptoms, government had imposed lockdown, worldwide, due to which many industries stopped their manufacturing units. Thus, the requirement of green packaging material for product packaging decreased severely. This factor has decreased the green packaging market share growth in the pandemic year.    However, green packaging market also experienced a positive growth in the COVID-19 pandemic period. During pandemic, people shifted their shopping preference towards online shopping. E-commerce generally uses paper-based packaging for delivering products. This factor is likely to flourish the market growth in the pandemic time period.

Increasing Knowledge about Importance of Green Packaging to Surge the Market Growth

Rapidly growing knowledge about the benefits of green packaging among consumers is expected to accelerate the green packaging market share growth in the forecast time period. Green packaging is a sustainable form of packaging which not only reduces packaging waste accumulation but also helps in reducing greenhouse gas thus, protecting environment. Apart from this, introduction of biodegradable packaging materials such as bioplastics and biopolymers for packaging of various products like food and beverages by the companies is further anticipated to generate huge green packaging market size growth in the predicted time period.

High Cost of Green Packaging to Restrain the Market Growth

Green packaging used for product packaging is very expensive. This is mainly due to high processing cost of recycled products. Thus, not many industries, especially in the developing nations, can afford such high green packaging cost. This factor is likely to hinder the green packaging market share growth of the next few years. Also, not many people, like in rural areas of developing countries, are aware about the availability of sustainable and environment friendly packaging solutions in the market. Thus, this factor is further expected to impede the market growth in the predicted time period.

Sustainable Packaging of Product by Major Companies to Fuel the Market Growth

Owing to the strict regulations set by the government to use sustainable packaging for their products packaging, the industries have now started focusing on the use of recycled packaging materials. For instance, according to a report published on the official site of Amcor Plc, a packaging company, on November 18, 2021, the company claimed that 86% of all its products can be recycled after use. Also, by their sustainable packaging approach, they rose their product sales by 76% in last few years. Such factors are estimated to register a huge green packaging market share growth in the coming years.

Apart from this, recycling of packaging materials or adhering to manufacturing processes that minimize environmental pollution also come under the ambit of green packaging practices. Green packaging, due to its very nature, helps in reducing environmental waste and pollution substantially.

Forecast Analysis

The effects of climate change and global warming are becoming increasingly devasting with each passing year. As a result, there has been an increased awareness regarding the need to adopt sustainable and eco-friendly practices in all walks of life. This increasing awareness regarding environment-friendly practices is expected to be the primary growth driver of the green packaging market in the coming years. Along with this, increasing knowledge about green packaging and its associated benefits is predicted to boost the market. Also, major companies and businesses have started packaging their products using green packaging materials and methods. This is anticipated to offer numerous growth opportunities to the market in the 2021-2028 timeframe. However, high costs associated with green packaging is expected to create hurdles in the growth of green packaging market.

Covid-19 Impact on the Green Packaging Market

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a massive negative effect on almost all industries and businesses across the world. This negative impact on industries and businesses is mainly due to the lockdowns and travel restrictions which were imposed by several countries across the world, owing to which many manufacturing processes and global supply chains were hampered. Even the green packaging market has faced severe consequences due to this. As manufacturing processes were stopped, the demand for packaging materials drastically declined which, in turn, restricted the growth rate of the market. However, a ray of hope was provided by e-commerce websites which operated during the pandemic period also, and hence provided the much-needed demand for green and sustainable packaging materials.

Significant Market Developments:

The significant companies operating in the industry are adopting numerous growth strategies & business tactics such as partnerships, collaborations, mergers & acquisitions, and launches to maintain a robust position in the overall market, thus helping the green packaging market to flourish. For instance:

In August 2021, Nefab Group, an industrial packaging provider, and Corruven Inc., a Canada-based protective packaging company, jointly launched FiberFlute, a sustainable packaging product that minimizes environmental waste and pollution. With this product launch, both the collaborating companies are set to expand their footprint in the sustainable packaging market in the near future.

In September 2021, Huhtamaki, a Finland-based food packaging company, announced the acquisition of Elif, a leading supplier of sustainable packaging solutions. The acquisition will help Huhtamaki massively in its aim to expand the business globally and cater to a large customer base, so as to increase its market share in the coming years.

In February 2022, Hewlett-Packard (HP), an American multinational technology giant, announced the acquisition of Choose Packaging, a plastic-free packaging solutions provider.
