Global E-Commerce Packaging - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 3744 | Published: 09/2019 | Pages: 325 | Individual User License: US$ 6,000

Fast Growth in Online Shopping Provides Opportunities for Packaging Suppliers

Global e-commerce packaging sales are forecast to rise 11% annually, reaching $22.1 billion in 2023. Ongoing robust growth in e-commerce sales worldwide will drive gains.

Key Findings in the Global E-Commerce Packaging Study:

Well Established E-Commerce Markets Will Account for Most Packaging Gains

The greatest opportunities exist in countries with well-established e-commerce markets. In 2018, China and the US were the two largest markets for e-commerce packaging, respectively, and will account for over 70% of gains between 2018 and 2023. Beyond growth in e-commerce sales, advances are propelled by increasing e-commerce purchases in categories requiring higher value packaging for shipping and well-established manufacturing sectors in these countries that are increasingly dropshipping directly to consumers in other countries.

Corrugated Boxes Are A Target for E-Commerce Packaging Reduction

Corrugated boxes along with protective packaging components are the highest profile targets for sustainability and cost reduction efforts due in part to their size and ubiquitous nature in shipping. Right-sizing of boxes is prevalent in advanced e-commerce markets, while efforts to eliminate boxes altogether include development of e-commerce ready primary packaging and privacy-enhancing shrink film overwrap as well as rolling out more local delivery and pickup options that reduce the need for secondary e-commerce packaging.

Study Coverage

This Freedonia industry study analyzes the $13.0 billion global e-commerce packaging market. It presents historical demand data (2013 and 2018) and forecasts (2023 and 2028) by product (boxes, protective packaging, mailers, labels, tape, insulated shipping containers, shrink film, and other packaging), by market (computers, electronics, and software; apparel and accessories; home furnishings; recreation goods; food and beverage; health, personal care, and beauty products, multimedia; and other merchandise) and by region (North America, Asia/Pacific, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Africa/Mideast). The study also offers competitive analysis on industry competitors including International Paper and Sealed Air and insights into growth drivers and opportunities for expanding e-commerce packaging sales in regional and national markets.
