Market Drivers:

Rise in e-commerce: The growth of e-commerce has also led to a corresponding increase in demand for packaging solutions that can withstand the rigors of shipping and handling.

E-commerce sales in 2021 will be $174 billion, or about 6% of total sales. That number is projected to grow by more than $100 billion by 2026. In 2022, more than 2.3 billion people are expected to purchase goods and services online. As of January 2023, the world population is about 8 billion.
