The need for packing peanuts is steadily increasing.
According to an article on PackagingDigest.com, a new report by Bharatbook, “World Protective Packaging to 2014,” states that world demand for packaging and shipping supplies is expected to increase 7.8 percent per year to $22.2 billion in 2014. The increase will be stimulated by higher manufacturing activity and increased number of Internet shoppers.
The article states that overall, foam plastic protective packaging, such as packaging peanuts will remain the largest product type by wide margin. Foam plastic materials are light weight and provide excellent cushioning when compared to paperboard and other related materials. However, environmental regulations may put a strain on the foam plastic packaging industry in some areas.
Protective mailers, such as bubble mailers, and other products like bubble wrap and other protective mailers have been and will continue to experience the fastest gains within the industry. Increases in the amount of electronic supplies that are being purchased online and in stores are fueling the popularity of these products.
