Industry trends:
In recent years, the coated and laminated packaging paper and plastics film manufacturing industry (NAICS 322221) has experienced notable qualitative trends driven by several key factors. One prominent trend is the increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions. Consumers and regulators alike are pushing for reduced plastic usage, and the industry is responding by developing biodegradable and recyclable materials, as well as incorporating more recycled content into products.
Another trend is the integration of advanced manufacturing technologies, such as digital printing and precision coating techniques. These advancements allow for greater customization and efficiency in production processes, enabling manufacturers to meet the growing need for shorter production runs and more varied product designs without compromising quality.
The rise of e-commerce has also significantly impacted this industry.
