Impact of COVID-19 on Global Postal Packaging Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global market for postal packaging. It led to a disruption in supply chain, production issues, and decline in demand for postal packaging solutions. Production costs increased due to low availability of raw materials during the peak of the pandemic. Lockdowns enacted to control the spread of the pandemic adversely affected the import and export of products. This led to market limitations.
Companies have been expanding their production capabilities post the peak of the pandemic. Prominent players are focusing on developing efficient, reliable, and environmentally-friendly packaging solutions to meet the rising demand of consumers across the globe. This is positively impacting the global postal packaging market aspects.
Growth in E-commerce Industry to Fuel Demand for Postal Packaging Solutions
Postal packaging is used for packaging online products in the form of postal boxes, envelopes, and postal bags. Sale of postal packaging products such as boxes and cartons, mailing bags, and wraps is rising significantly across the globe.
Increase in internet penetration has led to a shift in the purchasing pattern of the people. Consumers are increasingly opting for online shopping due to its efficiency and convenience. E-tailing is gaining popularity, primarily in developing countries. Thus, growth in the e-commerce industry is contributing significantly to market progress.
Online shipping of products entails fixing or fitting products in desired shapes and dimensions in boxes. Handling instructions need to be printed on these boxes for the unboxing process. Postal packaging products are suitable for all these requirements. Additionally, postal packaging products offer durability and safety during the shipping process.
Increase in Global Demand for Boxes and Cartons
Postal packaging is a lightweight, eco-friendly, and cost-effective solution for commercial and institutional applications. Boxes and cartons are reusable and eco-friendly; hence their demand is rising across the globe.
The usage of boxes and cartons has been increasing post the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Consumers are increasingly preferring online shopping after the emergence of the COVID-19 disease. Applications of postal boxes are rising in healthcare and e-commerce industries for the safe transportation of products. Boxes and cartons can be customized according to customer requirements.
Rise in Adoption of Sustainable Materials
Increase in awareness about recyclable and sustainable materials for packaging is driving market dynamics. Biodegradable materials for postal packaging are gaining traction among customers. Increase in awareness about the usage of paper-based packaging solutions among the people is further contributing to market expansion.
Initially, manufacturers and retailers were inclined toward plastic materials for postal packaging due to their flexibility. However, stringent government rules are now being implemented regarding the usage of plastic materials for packaging. Therefore, alterative materials such as paper and Tyvek are gaining popularity among end-users. Bioplastic is also considered a superior alternative that aims to replace petroleum-based plastic with a natural byproduct.
Enhanced Printability and Design Options
Packaging products printed with brand logos and information help maximize sales. Printing technologies such as digital printing, screen printing, flexographic printing, and customized envelope printing are increasingly used in postal packaging solutions. An attractive envelope with a company logo and specifications helps grab consumer attention. It is also easy to recognize such a product without unboxing.
Smurfit Kappa Group manufactures pizza-style postal boxes. These boxes have self-locking option. A safeguard is used for additional security. Pizza-style postal boxes are 100% recyclable and printed from both sides, with inside and outside printability options.
Growth in Third-party Logistics (3PL) Services to Fuel Demand for Postal Packaging
Getting products efficiently to the market is one of the key challenges facing manufacturers and retailers. Service providers of 3PL act as agents. 3PL helps retailers and manufacturers to grow their sales and enhance the outsourcing of products.
Conventionally, service providers of 3PL would help make inroads for sourcing new locations. Now, they are enabling companies to expand into the consumer market as well. Therefore, rise in demand for 3PL services is a key factor driving the postal packaging business.
Surge in Popularity of Poly Mailer Bags with Customized Printing Options
Poly mailer bags are polyethylene shipping bags that are waterproof, tear-proof, tamper-resistant, and self-sealing. These custom bags are easy to handle and cost-efficient. Customization options are available for these bags. Company logo and brand details can be printed on these bags. Furthermore, some poly mailer bags are transparent with a clear view.
Poly mailer bags offer a customized look with colorful designs and brand messages for luxurious clothes and products. Cushions inside these bags protect products from external damage. Bubble mailer bags are used for expensive and fragile goods.
