In recent years, packaging education has been seen as one of the most viable options for career development. The domestic market size of packaging stands at approximately $ 75 billion and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 17-18% in the next five years. To tap the potential of this scale, the sector needs research-led growth to remain competitive with countries like China.
