April 2020  

·    It is projected that Packaging Films Market in India will be positively impacted amidst the Novel coronavirus Outbreak as the sales by China would be Impacted as they would not be able to sell to other countries & India can use this opportunity to Export Materials.

·    The packaging material the industry is operating much below its installed capacity as it faces issues in supply lines and shortage of manpower due to the lockdown. Some organized retailers have also pointed out that the new batches of the FMCG products, manufactured after the lockdown, lack standard packing format and this is mainly because of disruption in the supply of packaging materials.

Packaging Consultancy is the Way Forward: Organizations are intrinsically wired to think about aspects like the product, its quality, its usability, and its benefits. This often takes away the spotlight from the packaging. In some cases, businesses lack awareness on how their packaging is impacting their business top line and bottom line and, in most cases, this can be tied back to their inadequate understanding of the packaging supply chain. Online B2B Platforms such as ‘Bizongo’ have started providing information at every phase and helps businesses to realize their product’s full potential in the market through better packaging designs, not just as a product protection tool but as a marketing & advertising tool as well.

Growth in Indian E-commerce Market: The e-commerce retail packaging sector has grown to 65 million monthly unique visitors, accumulating an annual increase of ~55.0%. India’s e-commerce revenue is predicted to be the highest rate in the world, growing at an annual rate of 51.0% and increasing to USD 120bn in 2020 from USD 30bn in 2016. The sector has witnessed an increasing demand for rigid packagings, such as corrugated boxes and cartons due to the packaging’s firm structure, preventing potential damage against India’s poor road infrastructure, which in result has pushed the growth of the packaging industry in the last few years.

Environmental Consciousness: As environmental awareness is increasing globally due to several global warming & virus outbreak awareness campaigns, there is a strong momentum towards sustainable packaging solutions. Stakeholders across the value chain are voicing their concerns regarding the use of unsustainable packaging products & how organizations needs to follow environmental guidelines to ensure safety and less wastage to ensure a safer future for our next generation.

Solving Industry Challenges with Technology: The problems of industry uncertainty can only be tackled with the help of technology. However, with technology, an all-embracing approach would be necessary. Every stage of the procurement process will need automation. Business leaders can empower their teams with the visibility of their supply chain in real-time. This would help them absorb demand fluctuations faster. The packaging industry has immense potential in terms of manufacturing capacity. This combined with an automated supply chain system facilitated via an Online Vertical B2B platform can create a sustainable ecosystem that can be used by generations to come. The digitalization of the supply chain is what will enable the packaging industry to operate at its full potential.
