Printing Market Growth Factors Behind Sustained Expansion
The increasing requirement for packaging in e-commerce is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the printing market. E-commerce packages are custom printed and frequently utilized by the expanding e-commerce retailers. This heightened demand for packaging in e-commerce primarily results from the surge in online shopping, which necessitates a greater need for secure, protective, and efficient packaging to ensure products arrive safely and meet customer expectations during home delivery. E-commerce platforms are driving substantial growth in the packaging sector by increasing the requirement for durable, lightweight, and protective materials that ensure products reach customers safely. For instance, in November 2024, according to data by US Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, the third quarter 2024 e-commerce estimate increased 7.4 percent (±1.2) from the third quarter of 2023, while total retail sales increased 2.1 percent (±0.5) in the same period. Hence, the growing e-commerce market is expected to generate demand for printing, driving the market in the forecast period.
