By analyzing the new technologies, global trends and the future of the market, we can make a pretty good prediction of what the packaging industry will be like in 2026 or later.

In the next decade, sales of products as well as services will become a big part of the business. Customers will then want to get their product and shopping experience, everything together.

As new technologies come along, we will see special products and services instead of large scale productions. And for such a special brand, special brand packaging will be required. 


The concept of packaging will change 


We now do packaging through cardboard boxes, bags, bottles. But in the future, these will change completely. People will use the material as per their convenience for packaging. Then there will be many improvements in innovation and technology. As a result, new business opportunities will be created in this sector. 


Perishable packaging


There is a lot of interest in edible packaging now. It is an alternative system that will help us reduce our fossil fuel consumption and reduce our carbon footprint. This is exactly what today's conscious consumers want. For example, organic food coloring or food sweeteners made by processing algae extract, peels of various fruits and vegetables have already entered the food industry. Maybe there will be packaging up front so that consumers can even eat their food wrappers. What a wonderful experience that will be!


Smart packaging 


It is also called intelligent or active packaging. The idea is that there will be a huge demand for it in the future. From the consumer's point of view, they will get many value added services in smart packaging. Such as Unique Unboxing Experience, Attractive Packaging, Complete Security of Inside Products, Authentication, Security and Connectivity.

New possibilities will open up for the brand or company as well. They can easily track the likes and dislikes of consumers using smart packaging. As a result, brands will be more efficient in bringing products to the market as per the demand of the consumers. With the advent of smart packaging, our perception of packaging will change. 


Printed Electronics 


Printed electronics is packaging that has sensors. For example, if there are smart LEDs / OLEDs in the packaging of any electronics, it will be a new experience for the consumer. With such smart packaging, consumers will be able to interact with the product, learn about it, add digital sales to the package, and even provide an online connection.

Some of the uses of this technology, of course, we can see now. Such as near-field communication (NFC); radio-frequency identification (RFID) and ambient intelligence.


Nanotechnology 


The nanotechnology market has grown by 25% since the advent of anti-fingerprint nano coating technology. Packaging is one of the few industries that has benefited from this.

It is possible to manage packaging waste in a sustainable way using nanotechnology. Bioenocomposites of modern technology will replace indigestible plastic waste in the future.

In the future, the benefits of packaging by swiping a card in smart packaging or scanning a smart device will be: 

  • Further tracking

  •  Security from theft

  •  Additional information

  •  Dynamic visuals

  •  Online connection

  •  Integrated product interaction

  •  Active monitoring

  •  Others

Over the next few years, we will see the development of hygienic and antibacterial packaging systems with nanomaterials. The technology will be used primarily in the packaging of medical, pharmaceutical companies and food products.

Lithium ion batteries are now being used in packaging in production batteries. Thus many more inventions are possible with nanotechnology, of which very few we now see. In the future we will see many more new discoveries in this sector, it can be said for sure.



Augmented Reality 


With the spread of augmented reality we have begun to get an idea of ​​how interactive tech will play a role in packaging design in the future. In the next 10 years, consumers will be able to test the packaging of their products for themselves. They will have the opportunity to choose from multiple options. Organizations will even brand through packaging using gaming elements. Consumers will find entertainment from things like product packaging.
