Honeycomb Packaging Market To Grow Rapidly As Industry Veteran Smurfit Kappa Group Comes Up With A Sustainable Packaging Option With Honeycomb Capabilities
Increasing demand for sustainable
packaging by various industries such as consumer goods, automotive, furniture,
and others is expected to drive growth of the global honeycomb packaging market
during the forecast period. The demand for sustainable packaging has increased
significantly since it provides numerous advantages such as reduced carbon footprint,
no harmful use of plastics, easy disposal, and reduction in the shipping cost.
Besides, sustainable packaging is biodegradable and versatile as compared to
other options. Key companies in the market are launching innovative products to
gain a significant advantage in the market. For instance, in September 2020,
Xaar, an inject printer manufacturer, introduced new sustainable packaging that
is fully recyclable and biodegradable cardboard packs. Honeycomb packaging is a
sustainable and cost-effective packaging option that can be used in the
above-mentioned industries. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of
the global honeycomb packaging market during the forecast period. Furthermore,
rapid growth of the e-commerce sector is expected to boost the global honeycomb
packaging market growth over the forecast period.
However, increasing demand for
flexible packaging is expected to hinder the global honeycomb packaging market
growth over the forecast period. Since flexible packaging is lightweight it can
pose a major challenge to honeycomb packaging in the near future. Among
regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global
honeycomb packaging market during the forecast period. This is owing to
proactive initiatives taken by government authorities such as the U.S.
Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to minimize packaging wastage. The U.S.
government has set regulations to minimize packaging wastage, which is driving
demand for honeycomb packaging. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to
register a robust growth rate over the forecast period, owing to increasing
demand for sustainable packaging from the e-commerce and automotive sector in
emerging economies such as China, India, and Japan.
Major companies involved in the
global honeycomb packaging market are ACH Foam Technologies, WestRock Company,
BASF SE, Smurfit Kappa Group, DS Smith Plc, Sonoco Products Company, Huhtamaki
Group, Packaging Corporation of America, Sealed Air Corporation, and Lsquare
Eco-Products Pvt. Ltd.
For instance, in June 2020, Smurfit
Kappa Group introduced an innovative, sustainable new packaging named Thermo
Box with honeycomb capabilities for frozen and chilled food.
