Impact of Covid-19 on Flexible Packaging Market:
The packaging industry faces unique challenges when faced with COVID-19. For instance, the 21-day national shutdown in India has almost completely closed the packaging supply chain. The government is doing its best to continue to provide essential supplies to the 1.3 billion people in India on a regular basis. However, this will not be possible without the product packaging facing a terrible situation. That said, we are facing an extraordinary situation that will require extraordinary measures. The industry is working with the government to provide these essentials in the most efficient way possible. In the meantime, it is important that everyone stay still and not panic as we move through this difficult phase. That said, in a standard industry situation, the challenges differ. While the fragmented nature of the industry adds to many of the problems, it is only part of the puzzle.
However, a common point that can be mapped between companies and industries is the chaos these challenges cause. Chaos in terms of faulty packaging design, lack of packaging stock, incorrect artwork, product recalls – it’s a long list. At a broader level, resulting in loss of activity and income. And therein lies the biggest problem. Organizations are intrinsically connected to thinking about things like products, quality, usability, and benefits. This often eliminates bulbs from the packaging. In some cases, we discovered that companies were unaware of the impact of their packaging on their activities and results. And in most cases, this may be related to their insufficient understanding of the packaging supply chain. At the macro level, GDP growth slowed to a seven-year low of 4.7% in October-December 2019. The National Statistics Office also set economic growth at 5% for fiscal year 2019-2020 in its second estimates. These factors had a direct impact on employment rates and affected consumer sentiment, holding back spending. This situation, associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, is putting pressure on supply and also hurting the economy. At the micro level, the fragmented nature of supply creates challenges for the industry. Added to this is the fact that packaging as a product category has no brand. Together, this creates a bad customer experience with issues like inconsistent packaging quality and time-consuming vendor discovery.
