Market snapshot

These figures describe Protective & Specialty Packaging (5.10.7), the segment that Luxury & Premium Packaging sits within. They are not figures for Luxury & Premium Packaging on its own.

FragmentationFragmentedEstimate

Not separately sized. Protective packaging is split across moulded pulp, foam and corrugated classifications with no code of its own, and the residual bucket it was previously read from belongs to paper converting in natural resources. The economics are distinctive enough to note anyway: protective packaging is specified by the shipper rather than the brand, sells on damage rates rather than appearance, and consolidates slowly because moulds and tooling are customer-specific.
