The Asia Pacific paper & paperboard trays market is a highly fragmented market with the presence of considerable regional and local players providing numerous solutions for companies investing in the market arena. The consumers across the region widely prefer ordering food through online delivery platforms. For instance, Meituan-Dianping, China’s largest delivery service company, received ~6.4 billion food orders in 2018. With the growth of online food delivery channels, cloud kitchens, and takeaway services in countries such as China and India, the demand for paper and paperboard trays also grows exponentially. Further, due to the rising landfill issues, manufacturers are shifting their preferences toward paper and paperboard packaging from plastic packaging. Governments of countries such as China, Japan, and India are promoting the use of recyclable and reusable packaging materials to reduce the amount of waste generated. Moreover, stringent regulations prohibiting or limiting plastic usage in countries have driven the demand for paper-based packaging materials. Manufacturers of paper and paperboard trays are largely focusing on expanding their operations across Asia Pacific owing to the presence of a large customer base, availability infrastructure and laborers at low costs, abundance of resources, and existence of free trade policies.
India reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases across Asia Pacific, which led to the discontinuation of several businesses, such as paper & paperboard trays manufacturing activities. Also, due to the outbreak, most countries declared a health emergency and stopped unessential movements, thus impacting heavily on the supply chain of goods. Manufacturing facilities hustled to make changes due to the implementation of social distancing norms, which cased disruptions and slowdowns on throughput. Paper and paperboard industry may continue to see weak or broken links in their supply chains, which, in turn, would negatively affect the paper & paperboard trays market growth in the coming years.
