Protective packaging demand to grow 4.9% per year through 2019

摘要

Demand for protective packaging in the United States is forecast to expand 4.9% per year to $6.8 billion in 2019, bolstered by strong gains in Internet shopping. This is among the findings of a recent study by The Freedonia Group. The study suggests that as consumers purchase more products online, demand will increase for packaging to protect these goods from shock, vibration, abrasion and other damaging effects of shipping and handling.
