Emerging Minimalistic Design Trend to Re-shape Gift Packaging Market
Gift packaging has been evolving since past few decades with introduction of new and innovative designs replacing traditional or old ones. To give an aesthetic appeal while maintaining the sanctity of the gift, manufacturers have been involved in providing gift packaging designs that suit the purpose of the gift along with the gift’s characteristic nature, shape, weight, and fragility. Earlier, vibrant designs were used to enhance the aesthetic feel of the gift and make it eye catching. However, recent observations reveal that traditional, vibrant, and loud designs are being replaced by minimalistic and clean designs. There has been a paradigm shift in the gift packaging market apropos to packaging style, texture, material, and designs. The trend of keeping packaging of gifts in a simple form without unnecessary textures or design has been re-shaping the gift packaging market. Minimal and simple designs that significantly emphasize essential values and necessary information without extravagance have been gaining massive traction among customers. That said, manufacturers in the market are capitalizing on this emerging minimally aesthetic yet appealing trend in a bid to ensure increasing customer satisfaction in terms of style of presentation.

Paper Packaging to Gain Steam in Gift Packaging Market on the Back of Growing Eco-friendly Trend
Sustainable and eco-friendly packaging has picked up momentum since past few years on the back of growing concerns related to environment health. This has also impacted the gift packaging space as manufactures turn towards environment friendly material options for their products. In addition, with rising bans on plastics in the packaging field, the demand for paper and paperboard has increased considerably, thus complementing the growth of the market.

Moreover, growing customer awareness regarding environment health and then negative implications of non-biodegradable materials and plastics used for packaging of gifts has fuelled the use of paper and paperboards as a viable packaging material. In this background, with a large focus on adoption of biodegradable material such as paper for packaging of gifts, manufacturers are innovating their offerings thus providing durability and attractive appearance. These factors have accelerated the use of paper material in packaging of gifts, in turn contributing towards the value growth of the gift packaging market worldwide.

Considering the volatility of business today, traditional approaches to strategizing a game plan can be unfruitful if not detrimental. True ambiguity is no way to determine a forecast. A myriad of predetermined factors must be accounted for such as the degree of risk involved, the magnitude of circumstances, as well as conditions or consequences that are not known or unpredictable. To circumvent binary views that cast uncertainty, the application of market research intelligence to strategically posture, move, and enable actionable outcomes is necessary.
