  • Moreover, in a country such as India, the growing demand for online food ordering is increasing, which is pushing the usage of packaged food boxes in the food packaging market. For instance, in February 2022, Zomato, one of the prominent food delivery companies, said that the average monthly active food delivery restaurants have grown by 6x and average monthly transacting customers have grown by 13x on Zomato over the past 5 years.
  • The changes in the lifestyle of the people and changing food preferences of consumers, along with the increasing population in developing nations, will drive the growth of the market in the forecasted period.
  • The growing preference of people for processed food due to the surging working population, rising disposable incomes, and hectic lifestyles, to shifts in population dynamics from rural to urban areas is also driving the food packaging market.
  • New packaging technologies, such as active packaging, intelligent packaging, and engineering science, have evolved over the years, which enables the flexible packaging of food products. Companies are adopting eco-friendly packaging by using biodegradable packaging material which can be recycled, renewed, and reused.
  • Due to increased dry food procurement fueled by hygiene concerns, the emergence of COVID-19 sparked a demand for canned food across the Asia Pacific area. However, due to a total lockdown and stoppage of manufacturing activities, the industry was unable to fully benefit from the sudden demand surge, which hampered the market's growth in 2020. Furthermore, because health worries are anticipated to persist even after the disease outbreak has subsided, the market is expected to increase steadily in the following years.
