COVID-19 Pandemic Positively Impacts Growth in Contract Packaging Market
The future for the contract packaging market seemed optimistic and it was given a further impetus by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With growing number of patients suffering from the virus globally, the demand for different medical equipment storage products such as boxes & cartons, ampoules, sachets and stick packs, and blisters and clamshells witnessed a significant increase. This helped in the growth of the global contract packaging market.
During the post-pandemic phase, it is anticipated that leading fast moving consumer goods market players would continue to work to meet the consumer requirements by deploying contact packaging solutions since many of these players do not have their own exclusive packaging facilities. This could fuel the growth in the overall contact packaging market, too.
While contract packaging solutions have proven beneficial to a number of industries, there are drawbacks to them that could impact demand in future.
