On the opportunity side, advancements in packaging technology and materials are enabling the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. There is also a growing trend towards premium and innovative packaging designs that enhance user experience and brand differentiation. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce is driving the need for packaging solutions that ensure product integrity during shipping and handling.
