NEW YORK, Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:
Protective Packaging Market
http://www.reportlinker.com/p089572/Protective-Packaging-Market.html#utm_source=prnewswireutm_medium=prutm_campaign=Packaging
US demand to reach $5.9 billion in 2016
Protective packaging demand is expected to reach $5.9 billion in 2016, accelerating from the pace of the 2006-2011 period based on increased manufacturing output following the 2007-2009 recession and continued solid growth for electronic shopping. These factors will necessitate heightened requirements for costeffective packaging used in the protection of goods from shock, vibration, abrasion, temperature abuse and other damaging effects of shipping and handling.
Foamed plastics, insulated shipping containers, air pillows among best prospects
Above-average growth is expected for most foamed plastics, as well as insulated shipping containers and air pillows. In addition to benefiting from a recovery in the manufacturing sector, gains for molded and other foamed plastics will be aided by advantages of light weight and excellent cushioning capabilities compared to paperboard and other materials. Further advantages of foamed plastic products include the ability to be custom molded to conform to shapes of sensitive equipment such as computers, consumer electronics and instrumentation, thereby providing enhanced protective capabilities. However, longer-term prospects will be constrained by the outsourcing of manufacturing operations to offshore locales with lower labor costs and competition from greener alternatives. Insulated shipping container advances will be driven by expanding specialized handling requirements for temperaturesensitive pharmaceuticals and increased online sales of perishable foods. Rapid growth for biotechnology drugs and vaccines, which are often temperaturesensitive, will fuel sales of insulated shipping containers in order to maintain product efficacy and prevent losses of high-value drugs due to spoilage caused by temperature abuse. To prevent such losses, drug makers are placing increased pressure on logistics providers to demonstrate quality assurance measures. Healthy demand for air pillows will be based on continued solid growth in Internet shopping, advantages over other materials in terms of cost and material use, and consumer preference for the product over other materials such as loose-fill. Molded pulp protective packaging demand is also expected to increase at an above-average pace, the result of heightened interest in environmentally friendly packaging, ease of disposal and more stable pricing than the competitive petroleum-based plastics. The growing emphasis on packaging sustainability has also fueled numerous introductions of recycled content and biodegradable alternatives to conventional plastic-based protective packaging products. Nontraditional biodegradable alternatives to molded foams have been commercialized in the past few years and are poised to establish themselves as production capacity increases result in expanded availability. 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 paper fill and biodegradable loose-fill will be helped by growing interest in environmentally friendly packaging. In addition, an improved outlook for consumer spending will bode well for demand for paperboard edge protection products, which are used by warehouse club stores, home center stores and other retail establishments to unitize and stack pallets. However, import competition in appliances will moderate paperboard protector demand.
