Why Feasibility Studies are the First Step Before Investing in India’s Premium Packaging Industry?
India’s packaging industry is undergoing a remarkable shift as it moves from low-value flexible packaging to high-quality rigid boxes and premium paperboard formats. These products are increasingly used for jewellery, cosmetics, electronics and luxury gifting. The market is being boosted by strong demand from FMCG, pharmaceutical and e-commerce sectors where packaging is no longer seen as a cost but as a tool for branding and consumer experience.
Investors or entrepreneurs who are planning to enter in this promising industry must conduct a feasibility study. A detailed feasibility analysis helps evaluate demand drivers across different sectors and guides investors in identifying the most attractive product segments. The rise of online shopping is creating demand for rigid boxes that are not only strong for shipping but also visually appealing for branding. For example: e-commerce is driving growth in durable yet attractive rigid boxes while cosmetics and personal care rely on innovative designs and luxury finishes to stand out.
At the same time, feasibility studies uncover risks that might otherwise be overlooked. Factors such as fluctuations in raw material costs, new sustainability regulations like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and high capital requirements for automated machinery can cause big problems. By assessing the value chain, the competition landscape and the latest technological trends, a feasibility study points out possible problems before significant investments are made.
Furthermore, financial modelling is an important part of feasibility studies as it helps entrepreneurs understand their break-even point, expected return on investment (ROI) and scalability options. This gives investors the confidence to decide whether to set up a new facility, expand capacity or explore partnerships.
