Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the paint packaging market in 2020 due to disruptions in construction activities, supply chain constraints, and reduced industrial production. Temporary shutdowns in manufacturing and logistics slowed demand for paint packaging, particularly from professional and industrial users. However, the market recovered steadily as construction projects resumed and consumer-led home renovation and DIY painting activities increased. Post-pandemic recovery has been supported by renewed infrastructure spending and housing development.
