E-Commerce Packaging Industry Overview
The availability of several players providing e-commerce packaging solutions has rendered the market fragmented. Key players operating in the market include Amcor PLC, Mondi PLC, International Paper Company, and Smurfit Kappa Group PLC, among others.
• In February 2024, Amcor announced the collaboration with Stonyfield Organic, the country's leading organic yogurt maker, and Cheer Pack to launch the first all-polyethylene (PE) spouted pouch; where the new pouch uses Amcor's AmPrima Plus, an all-PE film that is designed to meet the APR Design Guide for recyclability, and Cheer Pack North America's Vizi cap. The package removes the metalized or foil-based film layers commonly found in standard pouch structures while providing superior heat resistance for spout insertion.
• In October 2023, Mondi PLC partnered with Cotesi to replace conventional plastic mulch film with a paper solution. Kraft Mulch is a paper alternative commonly used to protect plants from birds and weather impacts. It is created from responsibly sourced wood with no plastic or coating, is an industrially compostable paper solution certified according to DIN EN 13432, and provides comparable protection as plastic mulch film.
• In September 2023, Sonoco Products Company completed the acquisition of the remaining portion of its equity stake in the company RTS Packaging LLC (RTS) from WestRock, a joint venture partner, and a single WestRock paper mill located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for a total consideration of USD 330 million. This transaction brought Sonoco's network of 15 operations to the United States, Mexico, and South America.
