U.S. Protective Packaging Market to Reach $6.8 Billion in 2018
Posted on September 26, 2014 by Erik Burden
Protective packaging, including cargo securement for safety and damage prevention, is highly valuable and necessary for organizations transporting goods via rail, truck, or boat.
A recent market research study of the U.S. protective packaging market by Freedonia forecasts that the U.S. demand for protective packaging will reach $6.8 billion by 2018.
This increase is based on the continuing recovery of the manufacturing sector after the recession, as well as an increased prevalence of Internet shopping.
Dunnage bags, in particular, are expected to see moderate growth as the industry improves.
What Does This Mean for You?
Certain industries in particular will experience greater demand, which will result in the need to ship more product. It may also mean an increase in the amount of rail, truck, and boat traffic as the economy continues to improve.
This is great for business and cause for optimism in the manufacturing and shipping industries! However, as traffic increases, more product is shipped, and deadlines draw near, we must ensure that safety is at the forefront.
When loads are properly secured, product will arrive undamaged and personnel will be able to do their jobs safely.
