The global retail e-commerce packaging market is set to grow at a CAGR of 12.48% and appreciate to reach a market value of USD 63.47 Billion during forecast period.

The ongoing increase in online shopping is a huge driver of growth for the global retail e-commerce market. Setting up an online store is easy, and there are vast numbers of retail e-commerce websites on the internet. Likewise, consumers are spoilt for choice and can have most products at their convenience from the comfort of home or even on the move. Fast delivery, easy return policies and free shipping offers have driven the adoption of retail e-commerce over traditional shopping methods. Amazon, for example, has become a market giant due to its vast product offering as well as various other options such as prime delivery, prime now, and several others. The growing demand for packaged food and the presence of online stores ranging from specialty packaged foods to non-perishable groceries can be purchased online and delivered to the consumer’s doorstep, thus driving retail e-commerce packaging market size. Additionally, several products are often cheaper to buy online than from a store, making e-commerce the preferred shopping method and increases the use of retail e-commerce packaging.

Stringent government regulations regarding corrugated packaging, as well as the demand for less paper and plastic packaging in an increasingly environmentally conscious global environment, is expected to restain market growth. However, the market is rife with opportunities due to the rise in retail e-commerce in emerging economies as well and the rising demand for eco-friendly, protective packaging.
