For example, we found that customers are no longer purchase just one type of packaging and trends had changed significantly. We see that the market values sustainable packaging that is eco-friendly. We also see the rise of circular economy to support sustainability trends worldwide. Consumers also value convenience and would prefer packaging that is easy and convenient to use, reduce prep time, and comes with appropriate size.

Lastly, the growth of digital platforms and e-commerce reflects how much people buy more products via online platform, which has helped to propel the growth of the packaging business.
