MARKET DYNAMICS

KEY DRIVERS

  • Increasing demand for packaged food

  • Stringent regulations on food safety

The key players as well as small-scale industries operating in the food industry, are adopting sustainable packaging and promoting eco-friendly packaging to their food products are positively impacting the market. The rise in demand is attributed to features such as biodegradability, recyclable and lightweight. Also, Food contact paper is also a flexible and cost-effective packaging choice for protecting, preserving, and delivering a variety of food goods. The growth in the food & beverage industry drives the major growth of the market.

RESTRAIN

  • Increasing concerns regarding the use of chemicals

These substances improve the paper's strength and durability and make it resistant to water and grease. However, some of these substances have been connected to diseases like cancer, damage to the reproductive system, and hormone instability. For instance, the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is frequently used to make food contact paper clean and grease-resistant. BPA has been connected to a number of health issues, though, including breast cancer, heart disease, and issues with reproduction. Thus, the use of BPA in products that come into contact with food has been outlawed in several nations. Phthalates are yet another chemical that is frequently utilized in food contact paper. Phthalates are added to the paper to increase flexibility and durability.

OPPORTUNITY

  • Shifting consumer preference toward food & beverages home delivery

  • Growing demand for sustainable packaging

Many governments have set in place restrictions that limit the use of specific packaging materials, such as plastic. As a result, there is an increase in demand for packaging alternatives such as food contact paper. Many food and beverage firms are making investments in sustainable packaging options as part of their commitment to minimizing their negative environmental effects. The manufacturing of food contact paper has significantly improved, making it more robust and adaptable. This makes it a more alluring choice for food producers. Due to environmental concerns, there is a rising need for sustainable packaging. The need for food contact paper is being fueled by the availability of sustainable materials like recycled paper. 

CHALLENGES

  • High cost of raw materials

  • Competition from other packaging materials

Competition for food contact paper comes from alternative packaging materials like plastic and metal. Plastic and metal packaging are traditional options for food contact paper. Compared to food contact paper, these materials may have some advantages, such as better moisture and grease resistance. Raw material prices, including the price of paper, might fluctuate. This may affect how profitable the market for food contact paper is.

IMPACT OF RUSSIAN UKRAINE WAR

The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has left an evident impact on every industry and has led to a slowdown in economic growth. The war has resulted in the evacuation of over 300 major Western corporations, as well as the widespread closure of packaging and manufacturing plants in Ukraine and Russia. Uncertainty about when it will cease to exist has also made some companies hesitant to halt operations, either reducing back or shutting them down. Supply chain disruption and energy crises have impacted global supply networks, affecting the transportation of various commodities in the paper industry. Prior to the war, paper imports were priced at INR 70,000 per tonne, but have since risen to INR 1,000,000 per tonne.

IMPACT OF ONGOING RECESSION

While a recession may have an influence on leisure expenditure, food packaging varies during the recession and often expands when people consume food at home. The cost of paper-based packaging, which is commonly acknowledged as one of the sustainable packaging solutions, has risen by approximately 15% since 2020.

Rising energy costs have generated tremendous uncertainty for European paper producers, and with another probable increase in crude oil prices, energy costs for paper packaging will rise by at least 4-5%. Not only that, but due to the anticipated increase in logistics expenses, production costs are predicted to rise by another 2 to 3%.

Fortunately, the price of 'Fibre,' which is the most essential pricing element, will not be affected in some of the countries that are not affected by the Russia-Ukraine war. Another extensively used resource for paper/corrugated boards, "corn starch," has seen an increase in price due to a lack of availability and strong demand.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
