Protective Packaging to 2018

• The collection of Sustainable Packaging market
  research reports has a new addition of
  Protective Packaging to 2018 on
  RnRMarketResearch.com.
• US demand to reach 6.4 billion in 2018
• Protective packaging demand is expected to reach
  6.4 billion in 2018, an improvement from the
  performance of the recession-impacted 2008-2013
  period. Gains will be based on a continued robust
  outlook for Internet shopping, along with a
  continuing recovery in the manufacturing sector.
  In addition, an expected return of some
  outsourced manufacturing to the US will provide
  opportunities for protective packaging. These
  factors will necessitate heightened requirements
  for cost-effective packaging used to ship goods
  and to provide protection from shock, vibration,
  abrasion, temperature abuse, and other damaging
  effects of shipping and handling.

Protective Packaging to 2018

• Insulated shipping containers, air pillows among
  best opportunities
• Insulated shipping containers, air pillows, and
  molded pulp packaging will exhibit above average
  gains through 2018. Advances for insulated
  shipping containers will be driven by expanding
  specialized handling requirements for
  temperaturesensitive pharmaceuticals, a growing
  regulatory focus on compliance with storage
  temperature limit requirements, and increased
  online sales of perishable foods. Many newer
  drugs are temperature- sensitive and temperature
  control throughout the supply chain is critical
  to their safety and efficacy. As a result,
  insulated shipping containers will continue to
  have a major role in reducing losses of
  high-value drugs due to spoilage caused by
  temperature abuse. Solid gains for air pillows
  will be based on continued rapid growth for
  Internet shopping, advantages of
  cost-effectiveness, reducing material use, and
  consumer preference for the product over other
  materials such as loose-fill. Prospects for
  molded pulp packaging will be boosted by
  advantages including environmental friendliness,
  ease of disposal, and more stable pricing than
  petroleum-based plastics.

Protective Packaging to 2018

• Molded foams to lose share to nonplastic
  alternatives
• Growth for molded foam protective packaging and
  protective mailers will be similar to the overall
  protective packaging average. Advances for molded
  foams will benefit from a recovery in durable
  goods manufacturing along with advantages of
  light weight and excellent cushioning
  capabilities compared to paperboard and other
  materials. On the other hand, molded foams will
  face growing competition from nonplastic
  alternatives that have comparable performance
  properties and environmental advantages such as
  compostability. Such alternatives are also
  subject to less pricing volatility than are
  petroleum-based resins. Opportunities for
  protective mailers will be based on continued
  requirements for economical, lightweight,
  pre-constructed protective packaging for the
  shipping of a wide variety of relatively small
  objects.

Protective Packaging to 2018

• More moderate gains are anticipated for
  paperboard protectors, paper fill, dunnage bags,
  and loose-fill, the result of mature applications
  and/or competition from faster growing product
  types. Nonetheless, prospects for paperboard
  protectors, paper fill, and biodegradable
  loose-fill will be helped by growing interest in
  environmentally friendly packaging. In addition,
  upward trends in consumer spending and
  construction expenditures will fuel healthy
  growth for warehouse clubs and home center
  stores, which will bode well for edge protection
  products, as these items are utilized in these
  retail channels to unitize and stack pallets.
