Flexible packaging is made of flexible or easily yielding materials that, when filled or closed, can be readily changed in shape. They are highly used in industrial applications and building materials to protect, market, and distribute a vast array of products. Hence, the growing building material sector in various economies across the region will offer more opportunities for the growth of the flexible packaging market. Furniture and household items play a vital role in creating a human-centric space. Special protection in logistics operations and storage needs to be maintained for flexible protective packaging for furniture and household items. Bulky, glass, ceramic, and angular products require intelligent packaging solutions that protect products' quality in the event of vibrations and powerful collisions. The evolving landscape of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, and hospitality, is dominated by consumer lifestyle changes. The flexible packaging solutions, such as heavy-duty corrugated boxes, water-activated tapes, bubble wrap and foams, poly furniture covers, and stretch wraps, provide protection and help maintain quality. Hence, the increasing demand for furniture products also creates massive demand for flexible packaging solutions, thereby driving the market.
Vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets with new features and technologies. This factor is likely to drive the SAM flexible packaging market at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
