Ecommerce in Packaging Report Overview

Ecommerce is undoubtedly one of the most prominent themes of 2022. The pressure of keeping up with the pace of technology, especially online solutions, can be keenly felt in the consumer industry, and brands should ensure that they are adopting technologies that can streamline and automate processes across the value chain. One key example of this is the diversification of online and delivery models that we now see offering a wide range of purchasing and supply options to consumers. As well as having an ecommerce solution, brands and manufacturers are also having to consider how D2C supply chains can impact and benefit their business, the role of social media in shopping journeys through social commerce, as well as partnership options with digital aggregators in quick commerce.

As online shopping evolves to provide more nuanced solutions, brands and manufacturers will need to understand the changes in consumer online shopping behaviors to know which is right for them. Packaging companies will need to work collaboratively to understand how this growth in online channels will change packaging requirements – from labeling and communication to transit and delivery.

The ecommerce in packaging thematic intelligence report offers insights into the market size and growth forecasts, ecommerce value chain and timeline, industry trends, and key players. The report also provides information on case studies and the impact of ecommerce on consumer packaged goods.

Ecommerce in Packaging Industry Analysis

The ecommerce sales in consumer goods is estimated at $355 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% by 2026. The key to this growth has been the spread of the internet, with the number of users worldwide increasing. As consumer spending shifts from physical stores to the online channel, ecommerce will remain the fastest growing area of retail. COVID-19 has also significantly accelerated the shift towards online retailing.

As online retail markets in Western countries become saturated, ecommerce giants will rush to grab market share in emerging digital economies. India and Africa are set to be the primary battlegrounds.

Top Industry Trends Impacting Ecommerce in Packaging Theme

The main industry trends expected to shape the ecommerce theme over the next 12 to 24 months are evolving online and delivery models, role of traditional retailers, consumer engagement, sustainability, security and safety concerns, environmental impacts, COVID-19, and financial uncertainty.

Sustainability has been brought to the forefront of consumers’ minds and many are considering how they can foster new habits amid the pandemic recovery or balance sustainability with affordability, convenience, and product reassurance. Packaging has perhaps the most important part to play in product sustainability as it can help dictate the occasion, location, and frequency of product usage. These can help foster more conscious and sustainable consumer behavior, above and beyond recycling or reusing packaging materials.

Ecommerce Value Chain

The ecommerce value chain has five discrete layers: customer interface, order management, transaction processing, fulfillment, and after-sales service. These layers are underpinned by data, which provides the backbone for all successful ecommerce operations.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
