Vietnam’s packaging market: Paving the way for a new era
In recent years, the Vietnamese packaging industry has seen significant growth, driven by economic expansion, shifting consumer behaviors, and a rising demand for exports. This critical moment offers the industry a chance to innovate, leverage emerging trends, and reinforce its position in both regional and global markets
Robust Growth Fueled by Diversification Demands
The growth of industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce has significantly boosted the demand for high-quality and diverse packaging solutions. Driven by increasing domestic consumption, Vietnam’s packaging market is projected to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 10% between 2023 and 2027.
Popular packaging materials such as plastic, paper, metal, and glass are experiencing significant growth, with key highlights including:
- (1) Plastic packaging: Remains dominant thanks to its versatility and cost-effectiveness.
- (2) Paper packaging: Increasingly popular as consumer preferences lean toward sustainable solutions.
- (3) Metal and glass packaging: Favored for premium and export-focused products.
Sustainability at the Forefront
A key trend in the sector is the growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging solutions. Companies are making substantial investments in research and development (R&D) to create recycled and biodegradable packaging, while sourcing materials from sustainable sources. The government plays an essential role in supporting the green industry by implementing policies that encourage sustainability.
Challenges and Opportunities
Challenges:
- Volatile prices of raw materials.
