Key Trends Fueling Growth

• Rise in the adoption of case-ready packaging of fresh meats across the world:
• Case-ready fresh meat packaging has become increasingly popular worldwide over the past decade. This method involves processing and packaging fresh meat at a packaging station before delivering it to retail shops. It helps retailers cut down on costs like labor, equipment, and space for meat preparation.
• With case-ready packaging, retailers can use their space more efficiently for other merchandising activities, as they no longer need large areas for meat cutting and preparation. Additionally, this packaging prevents leakage and ensures better quality control.
• It's not just chicken retailers; those selling beef, pork, lamb, and other meats are also adopting case-ready packaging. Major markets for this packaging method include developed countries like the US and UK. The growing adoption of case-ready packaging worldwide presents ample opportunities for fresh meat packaging vendors, driving market growth in the forecast period.

Major Challenges:

• High costs involved in manufacturing flexible packaging 
• The cost of manufacturing flexible packaging is high owing to the increasing prices of raw materials. The primary raw material used in the manufacturing of flexible packaging is plastic, which includes PE, PP, and others. There has been a significant rise in the prices of these different types of plastics.
• For instance, in Asia, the price of PP increased by around 6.2% in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in the prices of raw materials will lead to a reduction in the profit margins of vendors as it results in a rise in the production cost of flexible packaging. Hence, vendors are forced to pass on these added costs to end-users by raising the prices. Some flexible packaging manufacturers have been increasing the prices of their products.
• Furthermore, the prices of printing inks and coatings used along with flexible packaging have also increased as a result of the rise in the price of oil, solvents, and key monomers used in polyurethane resins. Additionally, the tight supply situation with regard to titanium dioxide white pigment also increased the price of printing inks.
• For instance, in September 2021, Sun Chemical Corp. announced that it planned to increase the prices of its liquid inks and coatings for flexible packaging solutions offered to customers across all regions. The rise in the prices of all the above products used in the manufacture of flexible packaging may have a negative impact on the demand for such products from manufacturers of flexible packaging.
• Therefore, the rise in the prices of raw materials is expected to hamper the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
