The baby food packaging market has been adversely affected owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. Owing to the closure of various retail stores selling baby foods, the demand for baby food packaging has also witnessed a significant decline. As infants/babies are more prone to virus infection, parents are refraining from purchasing outside food for them. The demand for home-cooked natural food has increased during the pandemic. In addition, the weak supply chain of packaging materials such as plastic, paperboard, and metal has further derailed the market progress. Despite the reopening of retail shops selling baby foods, the demand for the product is estimated to remain low over a couple of months. Manufacturers should focus on creating awareness about their hygiene standards to attract more customers.
Leading players in the market are The Tinplate Company of India, Pretium Packaging LLC, Hood Packaging Corp, Hindustan National Glass & Industries Ltd. (HNGIL), Ball Corp, Tetra Pak, Bericap GmbH & Co. KG, and Bemis Company, Inc. among others. These players are emphasizing merger and acquisition, innovative product launches, and expanding their physical presence to gain market share.
