Market Definition
E-commerce packaging is an essential part of branding. The first natural contact customer with a particular brand often handles the package delivered to him when shopping online. This is a rare opportunity for companies to create a good impact and strengthen or ruin their brand image. Due to broken or poor quality packaging, premium packaging can increase customers' loyalty. Even stronger by recent third-party online retailers advertise on their products. Industry professionals anticipate other retail stores and distribution companies to adopt this model. Packaging will boost revenue and incorporate innovative forms of cross-branding and marketing.
Regulatory Framework

Correct packing, marking, and labeling are critical to smooth customs clearance in Japan.

Consequently, it is common for a Japanese importer to affix a label to an imported product after it has cleared customs. Packing in straw is prohibited in Japan.
COVID-19 had a Minimal Impact on the E-Commerce packaging Market
COVID-19 pandemic caused a sudden lockdown in many parts of the world to prevent the spread of the virus, which resulted in rapid closing down of factories, shops, and others. The rapid decline of demand and supply and travel bans led to the downfall of the non-essential product's market globally. The pandemic has made a significant negative impact on the economy due to less demand, a shortage of employees in the factory, and a travelling ban led to a shortage of raw materials, thus stopping the production of E-commerce packaging products. However, with the lockdown being relaxed and vaccination drives happening in Japan, the workflow has started increasing, thus, helping the market players to make a comeback. Government’s regulations and support regarding the growth in the economy and rising start-ups are expected to surge the valuation of Japan's e-commerce packaging market during the forecast period. The demand for E-commerce packaging was rising during the pandemic owing to increased online shopping, but supply chain disruption hampered the growth up to some extent.
