South America flexible paper packaging market Dynamics:

Over the forecast period of 2024 to 2030, the South American flexible paper packaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.11 %. The COVID-19 outbreak raised hygiene awareness among consumers in the country and encouraged them to spend more on home care and hygiene to avoid infection by COVID-19 since 2020. In addition, there has been a surge in demand for liquid detergents, mainly from the hotel and laundry industries. The need for secondary packaging in the form of foldable cartons has risen.

 

Due to the rapid growth of the fast and frozen food industries and an increase in the number of customers purchasing supermarket items such as frozen and chilled meals, the market is growing. Furthermore, packaging materials help preserve food and nutritional content, all of which contribute to the market's growth.

 

The country's entire packaging market is rapidly growing, with the paper and cardboard segments playing a considerable role. Even though plastic continues to dominate the industry, the market is expected to transition to alternatives such as paper as environmental concerns develop.

 

Paper is far more biodegradable than Plastic and is relatively easy to recycle. However, it frequently ends up in landfills, where its rate of decomposition is slowed, and it takes up more space than Plastic of the same weight. Furthermore, non-recyclable paper-based flexible packaging is frequently laminated with other materials such as plastic/aluminum or coated with resin.

 

Illegal harvesting and converting high conservation value forests have resulted from unsustainable paper enterprises.

The high cost of paper packaging and the inability of paper to package bulky objects limit the market's growth. Furthermore, environmental concerns regarding deforestation for raw materials and the release of dioxins during paper manufacture hinder the South America flexible paper packaging market's growth.
