The Europe mailer packaging market size is estimated to reach USD 1.95 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 7.2% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The increased popularity of mailers in the e-commerce industry for packaging of varied B2C products including clothing and books across the region remains a key growth driver.
The increasing usage of mailers packaging for shipping items by online retailers is the major factor driving the market. A continuous increase in the number of online shoppers and the growing popularity of fashion apparel and books which are commonly packaged in paper mailers and padded mailers remain strong growth drivers.
The marketing and advertisement expenditure has increased in recent years by the manufacturers. Similar measures are adopted by service providers like Amazon and eBay to increase their revenue in the regional market. The continuous increase in the number of small and medium players in the service industry further supports the demand for mailers in the market. Mailers provide substantial space for the packaging of items along with wide space for printing and advertisement of brands on the outer layer, which is ideal for segment growth.
The cushioned mailers are projected to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to their ability to provide extra protection to packaged items. Cost efficiency is another major benefit offered by padded mailers to consumers. This is done by eliminating the need for extra bubble wrapping for protection because it is in-built as an inside layer in cushioned mailers.
