Abstract

US market to exceed $5 billion in 2012

Protective packaging demand is expected to exceed $5 billion in 2012, driven by manufacturing growth and the proliferation of Internet commerce. These factors will fuel demand for cost-effective packaging used in the protection of goods from shock, vibration, abrasion and other damaging effects of shipping and handling. Manufacturing markets for protective packaging will remain dominant, but non-manufacturing markets will rise more rapidly, stimulated by escalating Internet and catalog sales as consumers increasingly shop at home.

Air pillows, insulated shipping containers to lead gains

Fastest advances are anticipated for air pillows and insulated shipping containers, with protective mailers and bubble packaging also logging above-average growth. Air pillows will log robust growth due to the ongoing proliferation of Internet sales channels, which will drive heightened requirements for costeffective void fill products needed to fulfill such sales. Advances for air pillows will also be supported by their versatility and excellent performance with light- to medium-weight items, along with consumer preference for the product over other materials such as loose-fill. Solid gains for insulated shipping containers will reflect the increased presence of temperature-sensitive drugs in the pharmaceutical product mix, as temperature control throughout the supply chain is critical to the efficacy of these drugs. Also driving growth will be expanding specialized delivery requirements resulting from increased online sales of perishable foods.
