Key Trends in the Market

Contract packaging refers to the process in which a business outsources its packaging to an external company for cost-effective and reliable packaging solutions. A company usually hires a third-party contractor if it does not contain an in-house packaging facility or if it aims to focus on core tasks while outsourcing others.

 

  • Growing demand for green contract packaging solutions to lower pollution levels and contribute to a circular economy is one of the major trends positively influencing the United States contract packaging market growth. These contract packaging services rely on biodegradable or recyclable raw materials primarily, efficiently use the resources to reduce waste, and continuously invest in research and development to reduce the carbon footprint of packaging.
  • The advent of smart contract packaging technology, such as anti-microbial and intelligent packaging, which improves the user experience is another crucial trend aiding the market development. Intelligent packaging is equipped with analytic tools and sensors that can offer real-time insight into product quality, whereas anti-microbial packaging prevents the growth of microbes and extends the shelf life of products.
  • Increased adoption of automation services by market players to boost their productivity is also aiding the United States contract packaging market demand. For example, in March 2023, GreenSeed Contract Packaging, a US-based contract packaging company, rented collaborative robots to perform tedious and repetitive tasks and improve its operational efficiency.
