Surging Demand in the United States Produce Packaging Market Driven by Health-Conscious Consumers and E-commerce Trends

Produce Packaging Market

 

The United States Produce Packaging Market is witnessing a surge in demand primarily due to evolving consumer preferences and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. With data from the United States Department of Agriculture indicating a substantial rise in the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, the trend is driven by increased health and wellness awareness among consumers.

In response to these changes, over 60% of the US population is incorporating fresh produce into their diets. This shift has also led to changes in consumer buying behavior, with a growing inclination toward e-commerce and online retail for fresh produce purchases. As a result, food service companies are experiencing a notable uptick in demand for fresh produce packaging supplies, including corrugated boxes, trays, bags & liners, and wooden crates.

To meet this growing demand and align with sustainability goals, leading produce packaging companies are introducing innovative and eco-friendly solutions. For instance, Graphic Packaging International’s introduction of ProducePack, a sustainable paperboard packaging range designed for fresh produce applications, exemplifies the industry’s commitment to delivering effective and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. This adaptation not only meets the evolving requirements of end-users but also enhances the competitive edge of these companies in the market.

The global produce packaging market is poised to witness robust demand, projected to attain a total valuation of US$ 34,470.9 million in 2023, surging to US$ 44,447.6 million by 2033. Future Market Insights (FMI) forecasts a steady 2.6% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in produce packaging sales between 2023 and 2033.

Several trends are driving the demand for produce packaging, shaping its growth trajectory. A notable trend is the escalating demand for fresh and organic food products. As consumers increasingly prioritize health and environmental concerns, their inclination towards fresh and organic food choices has soared. Consequently, this surge in demand for such products has directly propelled the need for efficient produce packaging solutions, a trend that is expected to perpetuate market growth.

Another significant trend impacting produce packaging sales is the rising preference for meat- and gluten-free food products. The growing adoption of vegetarian, vegan, or specialized diets has led to an increased consumption of fresh produce. This dietary shift, in turn, drives the demand for produce packaging supplies, further contributing to the market’s expansion. As these trends continue to influence consumer choices, the produce packaging market is set to flourish.

Blockchain produce packaging is a key trend that is gaining popularity in the produce packaging market. Blockchain is a way to store data that makes system updates, hacks, and fraud very hard or impossible. Blockchain makes it possible for customers and businesses to track products back to their place of origin. It’s as easy as putting a QR code on a package to get information quickly. This smart feature has increased transparency and quality assurance for customers, which is why many companies have already adopted blockchain for the same reason.

Nestlé, a Swiss food company, put a QR code on each package of the Swedish coffee brand Zogas in 2020. Consumers have access to information about coffee farmers, harvest times, roasting times, and shipping certificates that go back to where the coffee was grown. IBM FoodTrust’s blockchain technology platform is used to do these things. This package’s new idea is likely to appeal to coffee drinkers who care about doing the right thing and who value sustainability.

In November 2021, Graphic Packaging Holding Company, which is a United States-based vertically-integrated provider of sustainable consumer packaging solutions, acquired AR Packaging Group for US$ 1.45 billion. The acquisition is expected to help Graphic Packaging strengthen its position as a provider of sustainable fiber-based packaging alternatives to consumer-packaged goods companies around the world. AR Packaging Group is a company in the United States that makes fiber-based consumer packaging.
