New simplistic designs
The vibrant and lively designs are being replaced with simple and sophisticated ones. The current trend in the industry is to simplify gift wrapping. Consumers are increasingly attracted to gift boxes with uncomplicated designs that emphasize important qualities without being flashy. To appeal to customers with presentation styles, manufacturers are embracing the trend towards minimally attractive gift box designs. This new trend is likely to contribute to market growth. The increasing number of auditoriums, seminars, and corporate events is promoting occasions for parties and celebrations, which can boost the demand for the gift packaging market.
Increasing consciousness about the low recyclability of wrapping products
While wrapping paper may include "paper" in its name, it isn't always recyclable. Many types contain additives like glitter, plastic, and metallic elements that prevent them from being recycled. Each year, wrapping products generate millions of tons of waste, much of which ends up in landfills globally. As consumer awareness of the environmental impact of various packaging materials grows, the use of gift-wrapping products is declining. This trend poses a threat to the gift packaging market growth potential.
Personalization and customization in package print
The concept of customization has always been central as customer preferences evolve and become more specific. This shift has also transformed the gift packaging industry, especially in terms of printing on packages. There is now a growing demand for custom prints to add a personalized touch to gifts. In response, companies in the gift packaging market are expanding their services and offerings by providing customers with the option to select their prints to foster long-term relationships. Customers can choose their preferred prints based on the type of gift, hence enhancing convenience, design possibilities, and flexibility
The paper & paperboard segment held a significant share of the gift packaging market in 2023. This is due to the rising bans on plastics in the packaging industry, the demand for paper and paperboard has significantly increased, which can support market growth. As environmental safety and sustainability become major concerns, the use of recycled paperboard and paper in gift packaging has grown substantially. Moreover, increasing customer awareness about environmental health and the negative effects of non-biodegradable materials and plastics in gift packaging has driven the adoption of paper and paperboard as viable packaging materials.
The plastic segment will grow rapidly in the gift packaging market over the forecast period. Consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of plastic and metal packaging, leading to a growing demand for sustainable alternatives like biodegradable plastics. With the rise of e-commerce and personalized gifting, there is a trend toward customizing packaging with unique designs, logos, and messages, which can drive segment growth.
The gift boxes segment dominated the gift packaging market in 2023. This is linked to the rising popularity of eye-catching packaging designs among consumers and the increasing demand for customized gifts have been driving market expansion. Businesses are selecting boxes more thoughtfully due to technological advancements in box materials and the rapid growth of e-commerce. Additionally, the global rise in the consumption of sweets, chocolate, toys, and wine has led to increased demand for gift boxes.
The gift bag segment is expected to show the fastest growth in the gift packaging market during the forecast period. Gift bags are a popular form of gift wrapping. These pre-made bags are designed to hold gifts and can be made from materials such as paper, fabric, or plastic. They come in various shapes and sizes, often featuring handles or straps for easy carrying.
North America dominated the gift packaging market in 2023. The long-standing American tradition of regularly giving gifts to friends and family, combined with a growing consumer preference for eye-catching packaging paper designs, is expected to fuel the sales of gift-wrapping paper. This trend is anticipated to boost market demand for gift wrapping. The United States holds the largest market share in North America. A strong CAGR is expected in the U.S. gift packaging market during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is expected to host the fastest-growing gift packaging market during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to several macroeconomic and indirect factors. Emerging economies such as India and China are particularly lucrative due to their cultural emphasis on gifting during festivals. Consumers in these countries, especially those with higher purchasing power in China, prefer elegant gift box options. Businesses in China are attracting customers by offering unique products and services that enhance the overall gifting experience. Furthermore, consumers enjoy sharing photos of distinct packaging on social media, which is expected to boost the trend of themed gift packaging.
