Rising demand for flexible and protective packaging with lightweight and better aesthetic features is a key factor driving China’s packaging primers industry forward.

Flexible packaging solutions are widely preferred over rigid packaging solutions, as they are cost-effective, lightweight, and durable, and require fewer plastics, and less space on shelves during packaging than rigid packaging options.

The lightweight feature of flexible packaging makes it convenient to use. Its films are coated with coatings to produce various levels of high-quality barrier protection with aesthetic, elegant, and attractive appearance to attract end-users.

Flexible packaging also offers a variety of presentation possibilities that helps brand owners to increase the aesthetic appeal of products and also improve product branding, which has raised the inclination of manufacturers towards adopting flexible packaging solutions over rigid packaging solutions as primary packaging.

There has been a substantial upsurge in the number of modern retail formats such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, and convenience stores over the past few years in Asian countries including China.

This has significantly helped in increasing the overall consumption of products packed in flexible packaging formats. The rising inclination towards flexible or lightweight packaging formats is supplementing the sales of packaging primers in China to a significant extent.

Similarly, growing popularity of water-based coatings due to rising environmental concerns and booming e-commerce will boost packaging primer sales across China during the projection period.
