What is Contract Packaging?

Contract packaging, or co-packaging, provides businesses with the option to outsource their packaging and supply chain needs to other companies. It encompasses tasks such as primary and secondary packaging of finished goods, building point-of-purchase (POP) displays, managing inventory, and distributing products to the market or directly to consumers. Contract packaging offers access to resources, including printing services, a skilled labor force, and research and development (RD) capabilities. It is commonly employed in bulk manufacturing and cargo shipping. Consequently, contract packaging finds extensive applications across several sectors, such as pharmaceuticals, retail, personal care, etc.

Global Industry Trends and Drivers:

The contract packaging market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for the service across various end-use industries in order to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding global population. Furthermore, the elevating focus among the leading market players on incorporating features including child-resistant packaging, serialization, and tamper-evident solutions that adhere to the strict standards set by government organizations is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the growing need for contract packaging solutions from the retail industry to reduce costs and enhance product presentation, bulk packaging, assembly, labeling, and packaging design is also positively influencing the global market. Moreover, the shifting consumer preference towards online shopping and the rising adoption of home delivery models are further catalyzing the market growth. Apart from this, the introduction of environmentally friendly packaging options, owing to the escalating awareness of the adverse effects of plastic materials, is expected to propel the contract packaging market over the forecasted period.
