The wood packaging market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing popularity of sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging. Sustainable packaging involves the use of eco-friendly materials for shipping, wrapping, and storing products. Consumers worldwide are displaying a growing interest in recyclable and environmentally friendly packaging options, with wood packaging emerging as one of the sustainable alternatives. In April 2021, a report by Food Dive, a US-based journal website, revealed that 67% of consumers prioritize recyclable and environmentally friendly packaging, and 54% consider sustainability when choosing a product. Notably, 83% of consumers aged 44 and younger expressed a willingness to pay more for sustainable packaging, surpassing the overall average of 70%. This increasing preference for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging is a key driver for the wood packaging market.
The wood packaging market is also expected to benefit from the growth of the e-commerce sector. E-commerce involves the online buying and selling of goods and services, and wood packaging plays a significant role in this industry. Wood packaging is preferred for its cost-effectiveness, durability, and environmental friendliness, making it suitable for shipping heavy and large products. Additionally, wood packaging is space-efficient, allowing for the stacking of items during shipment and resulting in cost savings for transportation. As of September 2022, the International Trade Administration reported that consumer eCommerce accounted for 30% of the UK's overall retail sector, with an annual e-commerce revenue exceeding $120 billion. In 2021, 82% of individuals in the UK made at least one online purchase. This surge in e-commerce activities is contributing to the growth of the wood packaging market.
Technological advancement stands out as a significant trend in the wood packaging market, with major companies actively pursuing new technologies and engaging in research and development. In January 2022, Pujolasos, a Spain-based wood packaging company, introduced Woorigin, a patented mono-material innovation featuring a wooden cap without glues and plastics, boasting 100% PEFC or FSC wood certification. This groundbreaking development utilizes click technology, enhancing the overall user experience.
Strategic collaborations are a focal point for major companies in the wood packaging market, allowing them to gain a competitive edge, expand their market presence, and introduce innovative products to meet evolving customer needs. In May 2023, Blue Ocean Closures, a Sweden-based developer of bio-based, ocean-biodegradable, and recyclable packaging, partnered with Stora Enso, a Finland-based provider of renewable products, to create the 'first ever' paperboard tube with a fiber-based closure comprising more than 85% fibers. This wood fiber-based approach is expected to enable brand owners to increase the proportion of renewable materials in their packaging. The paperboard tube, applicable in various sectors such as personal care and cosmetics, represents an environmentally friendly alternative with a significant focus on sustainable practices.
In November 2023, Conner Industries, a US-based industrial wood and packaging solutions provider, acquired Denver Reel & Pallet Company, marking Conner's initial investment in the Rocky Mountain industrial packaging market.
