The produce packaging market is growing promisingly. Fresh produce packaging demand is increasing continually, mainly due to growth in the overall domestic produce output gains. Besides, the more intensive use of higher value packaging types that can offer convenience and ease-of-use features, superior performance, and shelf life drive the market growth.
Increasing sales of ready-to-eat (RTE) salads and pre-cut produce such as melon spears, apple slices, and carrot sticks, typically sold in cups, tubs, or other rigid plastic containers, substantiate the market demand. Due to the increased environmental footprints, sustainability remains a primary goal for fresh produce packaging suppliers.
The market witnesses a rising demand for biodegradable and recyclable packaging made of bio-based or recycled materials. Additionally, vast technological upgrades and developments in packaging materials, alongside the introduction of new produce packaging, especially for organic produce, influence the market share.
The size of the produce packaging market is expected to stimulate further, heading with growing uses of produce packaging that can preserve the cold chain for shipping temperature-sensitive food & beverage products. According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global produce packaging market is expected to register a 5.1% CAGR during the review period (2022-2030).

COVID-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 outbreak severely hit the produce packaging market industry, causing huge revenue loss to end-users like growers/shippers, re-packers and retail stores.

However, the produce packaging market is rapidly returning to normal, witnessing the steadily increasing demand. High consumption of intelligent packaging solutions is rising due to increased production activities and demand for storage and distribution applications, which is estimated to offer robust market opportunities.

Other major industry trends include high awareness for the availability of a wide range of temperature-controlled packaging solutions. Additional factors bolstering the market growth are increasing trends in local, regional, and international markets that need a wide range of transport modes and optimized total cost of ownership (TCO) led by relentless competition and margin pressures.
