COVID-19 Impact
Increasing Demand for Online Shopping Fueled the PET Packaging Market Growth
The pandemic has forced restaurants and other food services to remain close during COVID-19, and grocery demand varied drastically. The demand for packaging will therefore rise as customers continue to migrate to supermarket shopping. This trend is fueled by consumer desire to stock up on groceries, drinks, and home care items. However, when stores close and customers start to cut back on their spending, demand for luxury packaging other than food fell. As a result, the pandemic's effects on the packaging sector have been uneven.
Demand for PET Flexible Packaging as a Sustainable Solution to Gain Momentum
Based on product type, the market is segmented into bottles & jars, caps & closures, trays & clamshells, bags & pouches, films & wraps, sachets & stick packs, and cans & containers. In terms of market share, the films & wraps segment holds a dominant share of the global market due to the rising usage of flexible packaging in online delivery.
Demand for PET Containers in the Food & Beverage Industry to Gain Momentum
Food & beverages segment is the dominant segment of the market. Prepared meals mainly lead the food & beverage packaging market due to easy portability, long shelf life, and easy preparation. Prepared food consists of frozen meals, snacks, drinks, and more.
Driving Factors
Food & Beverage Segment Expansion Along with Pharmaceutical Growth is Boosting Sales
Leading companies in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage sectors have created innovative packaging solutions in response to consumer demand as a result of globalization. Due to rising preference for practical and portable options for transporting food in safety, PET packaging is predicted to see an increase in demand. In order to assure the safe handling of food and beverage goods, plastic packaging is being developed.
