Industry trends:

The Greeting Card industry, classified under NAICS 2771, is experiencing several notable qualitative trends driven by changing consumer preferences and technological advancements. One prominent trend is the growing demand for personalized and customizable greeting cards. Consumers are increasingly seeking unique, highly individualized expressions that reflect personal sentiments and relationships. This is leading to a rise in businesses offering customization options, enabling customers to add personal messages, photos, and other bespoke features.

Additionally, there is a significant shift towards eco-friendly and sustainable greeting cards. Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious, prompting manufacturers to use recycled materials, soy-based inks, and sustainably sourced paper. This trend is expected to continue, with an increasing number of companies prioritizing sustainability in their product offerings.

Another emerging trend is the integration of digital elements into traditional greeting cards. Augmented reality (AR) and QR codes are being used to create interactive experiences, such as animated messages or video greetings, merging physical and digital realms to enhance the customer experience.

Forecasts for the near future suggest that the greeting card industry will see moderate growth driven by these personalized and tech-enhanced offerings. As more consumers seek meaningful and eco-conscious ways of connecting, businesses that innovate and adapt to these preferences are likely to thrive.
