COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Press-To-Close Zipper Market
As the coronavirus epidemic spreads and its humanitarian effect grows, sectors that help meet basic needs, such as getting food and supplies to customers safely, are increasingly impacted. With food packaging being the packaging industry’s largest activity area, the $900 billion per year worldwide industry is on the front lines. The coronavirus outbreak has already resulted in some of the sharpest drops in demand for certain forms of packaging in recent memory while accelerating others' growth—such as packaging for e-commerce shipments, which are quickly becoming lifelines in this new world. Such changes are taken care of by many packaging companies with a new set of challenges. Packaging for groceries, healthcare goods, and e-commerce transportation has seen a significant increase in demand. Demand for industrial, luxury, and some B2B-transport packaging has fallen at the same time. Thus the effect of COVID-19 on packaging companies will be determined by their portfolios and exposure to various areas, packaging end uses, and substrates.
