Impact of COVID-19 on South Korea Paper Packaging Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the South Korea paper packaging market. During the pre-COVID times, i.e. before 2020, the market was growing steadily at a CAGR of around 3.3% annually due to the increasing demand from industries like food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics etc. However, the outbreak of the pandemic led to nationwide lockdowns which severely disrupted supply chains and reduced production across end use industries. This led to a steep decline in demand for paper packaging products in 2020. The market declined by over 10% during this period.

However, with relaxing of lockdowns and resumption of economic activities in 2021, the demand started recovering gradually. This was further boosted by rising e-commerce activities as people preferred ordering goods and groceries online during the pandemic for safety reasons. Industries also focused on ensuring safe and hygienic packaging of products to rebuild consumer confidence. Various innovations including adoption of nano-coatings, anti-microbial treatments in paper packaging products helped address concerns around virus transmissions through containers and boxes. The government also provided fiscal support to the paper and packaging sector. As a result, the market is projected to bounce back and register steady growth from 2022 onwards. However, future outbreaks of new virus variants could pose challenges. Industries will have to focus on building adaptive and responsive supply chains as well as innovation to deal with such crisis effectively.
