Why Packaging is Thriving
The e-commerce boom is not just about volume—it’s also about sustainability.

Analysts highlight that packaging companies able to align with these trends are poised for long-term success.
“Packaging has become a critical component of brand identity, especially in e-commerce,” said Laura Meyers, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, in an interview with CNBC. “Innovative, sustainable designs are helping companies stand out while meeting consumer expectations.”
As the e-commerce sector continues to grow, packaging companies are expanding their offerings to include smart packaging technologies, such as QR codes and temperature sensors, further solidifying their role in the evolving retail landscape. Investors are optimistic about the sector’s growth potential as it adapts to the needs of modern commerce.
