North America Package Testing Market Analysis
The North American package testing market is expected to register a CAGR of 10% over the forecast period, 2022-2027. The COVID-19 pandemic increased hygiene awareness among consumers in the country and motivated consumers to increase their spending on the home care and hygiene sector to prevent COVID-19 infections in 2020. The growing demand for liquid detergents has also been high, mainly from the hospitality and laundry sectors. This has increased the demand for packaging products and the tests that have been performed for different packaging.
- The packaging of consumable products has witnessed a drastic transformation over the past few decades, with a higher focus on enhancing the shelf life to reduce the costs associated with damaged goods. This emphasis has created robust demand for effective package testing in the package testing market.
- For some products, package testing is mandated by regulations about food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, etc. This might cover the design qualification, periodic retesting, and control of packaging processes. Processes might be controlled by various quality management systems, such as HACCP, statistical process control, validation protocols, ISO 9000, etc.
- Factors such as growing awareness and demand for sustainable packaging, growth of the retail sector with increasing demand for packed products, and the emergence of new technologies are driving growth. The requirement for a longer shelf-life of products helps drive the growth of the package testing industry.
- One of the prominent reasons for inappropriately large package size is the type of laboratory tests employed. Significantly harsh laboratory tests (ones that don't accurately reflect the actual hazards found within the supply chain) can cause excessive packaging, thus increasing the logistics and packaging costs. If tests are overly harsh in certain respects and completely miss specific damaging inputs commonly found in distribution, it would result in high damage rates and excessive packaging, thus, resulting in higher costs.
