North America Protective Packaging Market Segment Insights
The paper & paperboard segment is projected to hold a major market share
Based on material type, the North America protective packaging market is divided into plastics, paper & paperboard. The paper & paperboard segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period. Due to its eco-friendliness, paper and paperboard-based material is one of the most widely used packaging forms for food items such as milk and milk-based products, drinks, dry powders, confectionery, and bakery products.
Paper packaging, often known as paper containers, is a cost-effective way for people to move, carry, and store things in the community. Paper-based packaging is becoming more popular on a daily basis since it is designed to be durable yet lightweight, and it can be customized to fit product or consumer demands. Paperboard is a common packaging choice in many sectors since it is easy to cut and form, lightweight, and sturdy. Pulp (either virgin or recycled) is used to make one or more layers of board that can be coated for a better surface.
The foam based segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace
In terms of product type, the North America protective packaging market is divided into rigid, flexible, and foam based. The foam-based segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period. Any shape may be planned, carved, and manufactured out of foam. Many items include protrusions such as flanges, brackets, and buttons that alter the product's overall surface or have various degrees of fragility or weight bearing ability, all of which may be managed with a foam packing design. Foam can be readily customized with grooves, notches, and curves to match the uniqueness of a product.
The food & beverage segment is anticipated to expand at a high CAGR
In terms of end-users, the North America protective packaging market is segregated into food & beverage, pharmaceutical, consumer electronics, beauty & homecare, and others. The food & beverage segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period. Several goods in the food and beverage business have a relatively limited shelf life, and delivering an item before it expires is the most prevalent issue in the industry.
Packaging converters are increasingly being enlisted by brand owners to create secondary packaging solutions that are estimated to avoid shipping-related damage. Furthermore, packing airbags are now utilized for beverages in glass bottles (the most delicate goods). If any of the airbags in any of the many chambers loses air, the balance stays inflated to ensure continuous protection. Airpack offers this service to a variety of e-commerce businesses. Molded pulp packing is a relatively new form of packaging composed primarily of recycled materials. It's primarily used for food and beverage packaging as a kind of protection.
The US is expected to dominate the market
On the basis of geography, the North America protective packaging market is classified as the US and Canada. The United States is anticipated to dominate the market during the forecast period. The consumer electronics industry is seeing strong demand in the region. According to the consumer technology association the retail income from consumer electronics and technology in the US was USD 406 million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach USD 422 million by the end of FY 2021.
The need for protective packaging is projected to rise in the coming years as consumer electronics become more popular. Furthermore, the e-commerce business in the area is booming, which is propelling the protective packaging market.
