The anticipated growth of e-commerce platforms is poised to propel the expansion of the packaging products market in the foreseeable future. E-commerce, involving the electronic purchase and sale of products and services, along with the exchange of payments or data, primarily occurs over the internet. The surge in e-commerce activities necessitates a substantial quantity of packaging products, as they play a crucial role in transporting products to customers who make online purchases. As of January 2023, data from a report shared by tidio, a Poland-based digital product company, indicated a remarkable increase in online purchases, totaling 2.14 billion shoppers. This growth is significant when compared to just a few years ago, reflecting the increasing prevalence of digital consumers. With a global population of 7.9 billion, approximately 27% of all individuals are now engaged in digital consumerism. In 2021, the number of digital buyers globally reached 2.14 billion, up from 1.92 billion in 2019. Consequently, the burgeoning growth of e-commerce platforms stands as a key driver fueling the expansion of the packaging products market.
The anticipated increase in the demand for processed foods is poised to drive the growth of the packaging products market in the foreseeable future. Processed foods, characterized by various mechanical, physical, or chemical alterations from their original form, rely on packaging products to preserve freshness, ensure hygiene, and enhance consumer convenience. This contributes significantly to the overall appeal and success of processed food products in the market. As of December 2023, data from the United States Department of Agriculture, a U.S.-based federal agency, revealed a noteworthy increase in the total value of processed food products exported from the United States. The figure reached $38.17 billion, reflecting an 11.20% growth from $34.24 billion in 2021. In 2022, Canada exported processed food products valued at $11.65 billion, while Mexico exported processed food products worth $5.65 billion. Consequently, the escalating demand for processed foods emerges as a key driver propelling the growth of the packaging products market.
