The ability of the packaging material to be reused has an impact on the market's growth as well. The packing materials are also kept in use for a very long period. Over the course of the projected period, the need for reusable packaging materials will increase because in the e-commerce industry, packaged items must be protected from tampering or damage. In addition due to the increased demand for food and drink in emerging countries, the only option available to manufacturers since it is more reasonably priced which lowers the overall cost of production.
Threat:
Variations in the cost of raw materials

The manufacturers' profit margins in the paper and paperboard packaging market are significantly reduced as a result of this aspect, which might impede the market's expansion during the projected period.
Covid-19 Impact
