Impact Analysis of COVID-19 and Way Forward:

In the wake of COVID-19, the food & beverage industry saw dramatic impact which affected the liquid packaging carton market negatively. During the initial phase of COVID-19 restrictions, the unprecedented lockdowns across various countries created a havoc among the consumers. This led the stockpiling of packaged beverages such as juices and dairy items thus increasing the demand for liquid packaging cartons during the initial period of COVID-19 restrictions.

In later phases of the lockdown, aluminum shortages from the closing of recycling operations and flavoring shortages affected soda companies. From the food services sector, when arenas and sporting venues were closed, demand for packaged food and beverages declined thus reducing the use of liquid packaging cartons. Though at-home consumption of packaged beverages increased, but out-of-home consumption - which historically generates the highest margin came to nearly a standstill.
