The packaging primers market is anticipated to be driven by remarkable consumption and production growth, resulting from the rapid retail and eCommerce development across various regions of the globe.
Packaging primers are water-based, solvent-based, or wax & poly coatings that are generally used to maximize the efficiency of high-end printing, provide slip control, anti-blocking, moisture resistance, and release. Solvent-based and poly coatings offer consistent high quality print finishes as well as provides protection for a wide range of applications. Manufacturers of packaging primer solutions nearly serve every end use in food, beverage, cosmetic & personal care, and pharmaceuticals industries, among others.
COVID-19 Hindering Growth of Packaging Primers Market
The COVID-19 pandemic is likely to add economic challenges for the manufacturers of packaging primers across various regions. In spite of massive demand for various types of coatings for packaging converting, manufacturers are facing numerous challenges in terms of limited work capitals, disrupted product supply chain, and now emerging second wave of the pandemic in 2021. However, the aluminum can coatings sector continues to be a vital business, predominantly for the food & beverage products. The detailed inspection of the market found that even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for metal packaging had grown at a consistent rate, although at a lower level than all other packaging. The lockdown in North America and European countries caused a rise in the demand for food cans, as customers stock up on tinned foods products. The demand for beverage cans has also increased as drinkers move away from bars and pubs and into socially isolated home drinking. This has likely to add some new opportunities for the market players.
Packaging Primers as Means to Showcase New Bespoke Products
