DTC Shipping Cost Pressure Expands Mono Material Use
Bed-in-a-box brands increasingly specify recyclable mono-material compression film previously limited to small premium pilot programs, applying compression-engineering precision across an expanding list of mid-size regional DTC lines as shipping-cost pressure increasingly makes documented single-stream compliance a measurable carrier-cost attribute rather than a manageable purchasing detail. This shift is creating substantial new demand beyond the category's traditional multi-layer base, giving mono-material-capable manufacturers a genuine growth avenue tied to cost-driven adoption rather than pure standard-category volume growth. Manufacturers with established DTC-brand relationships are capturing disproportionate share of this expanding demand across newly converted accounts worldwide. MMA expects the related hygiene packaging market to be worth USD 27.2 billion by 2036.
