Industry Trends and Drivers:

• Thriving E-Commerce Sector: 

The aptitude for the e-commerce sector is driving the trend for retail ready packaging, where a conductive market exists. In addition, there is a rise in demand for packaging solutions that are qualified to sustain shipping challenges. Retail ready packaging is therefore robust as well as lightweight to ensure that packaged goods arrive in perfect condition for display. With the growing use of the internet for shopping, protective packaging becomes essential, while it is also necessary to consider its sleek appearance for shelf presence. Better retail ready packaging also improves the customer experience on product packaging and promotes repeat purchase of the product. This trend is a result of multi-channel retailing, which requires packaging to be suitable for both online and brick-and-mortar stores.

• Rising Focus on Sustainability:                 

This has made sustainability a key factor that is influencing both consumers and brands, thereby having a huge impact on the retail ready packaging market. Customers make conscious decisions to purchase products that have incorporated eco-friendly materials and packaging materials. Many retail ready products contain elements, such as being recyclable, biodegradable or made with a minimalist approach, which furthers the incidence of sustainable practices. Retail ready products have been adopted by firms to ensure that they use minimal resources, thus being environmentally friendly, in addition to the fact that customers are purchasing these products to act as an indicator of an eco-friendly image. With rising standards regulating packaging waste, turning to sustainable retail ready products is no longer an option for a brand, but a commercial solution for those interested in staying relevant and effective in the market place.

• Increasing Need for Cost-Effective Solutions:

The demand for retail ready packaging is increasing due to the need for cost-effective solutions. Such packaging cuts costs by efficiently using materials and improving logistics. It reduces waste and enhances stackability, thereby reducing shipping and storage costs. In addition, these solutions speed up re-stocking in stores and reduce labor costs. This efficiency is crucial in a competitive market with low margins. Thus, investing in retail ready packaging helps manufacturers and retailers increase profits and streamline operations.
