The consistent demand for packaging amid a pandemic is a strong statement of the industry’s stability. As others suffered layoffs during the lockdown in 2020, the packaging industry remained resilient with 83%-95% operational capacity. As of 2021, there are 53,679 employees in the packaging and labeling industry in the United States.

The number is expected to grow due to the projected demand for fast-moving consumer goods, pharmaceutical packaging, and rising E-Commerce sales. The food delivery market anticipates a $192.16 billion revenue by 2025 at an 11% CAGR, while online grocery sales will potentially make up 12.4% of the country’s E-Commerce sales by the end of 2021.

In 2020, US merchants made $791.70 billion dollars in online transactions alone, with E-Commerce leader Amazon taking $197.35 in net revenue. Online shopping largely impacts the packaging industry’s growth as brands seek faster, more efficient, and versatile packaging methods to keep up consumer demands.
