Trends and Opportunities in the Indian Packaging Industry: Analysis of changing packaging trends in the Food, Cosmetics and Toiletries, Beverages and Other Industries
Summary
Indian packaging industry will see notable growth over 2016-2021, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% as compared to 6.2% during 2011-2016. The growth of the Indian packaging industry will be heavily influenced by changing demographics such as growing urbanization and the rising proportion of middle class consumers. These changes drive the need for new packaging formats, such as different sizes, materials, and strength.
During the period 2016-2021, the Soft Drinks and Food industries will be the highest packaging market share gainers (by units) with share growth of 3.4% and 1.3% respectively. The growing organized retail sector has been a significant driver of the growth of the Food & Beverage industries, which in turn drives the growth of Indian packaging industry. In addition, innovations in the packaging industry, such as the development of lighter packaging with better barrier properties, add to the growth of packaging industry. In terms of packaging material, Glass and Rigid Plastics will be among the major share gainers, with share growth of 0.7% and 0.6% respectively during 2016-2021.
Flexible Packaging is the leading pack type in the Indian packaging industry and will grow at a healthy CAGR of 8.9% during 2016-2021, with major contributions from the Food, Household Care, and Cosmetics & Toiletries industries. This growth is largely driven by its low cost and flexibility to suit multiple shapes and sizes, convenience (zip-locks, plastic closures), and low-carbon foot print on the environment as compared to Rigid Plastics. In addition, the increasing prominence of low-density flexible packs in high protein foods is expected to drive the growth in the future.
Rigid Metal packaging is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 11.5% during 2016-2021, driven by the rise in packaged and canned food sales, aerosol products, and the popularity of Metal Cans within the Beer, Cider, and Carbonated Drinks industries. Furthermore, India accounts for a significant proportion of global trade and exports, wherein Rigid Metal packaging play a significant role due to its mechanical strength and reusability, augmenting the growth of the pack type.
Glass packaging in India is also expected to witness healthy growth, driven by rising demand in the Soft Drinks, Alcoholic Beverages, and Food industries. The novel features of Glass packs (colors, shapes, and designs), as well as its barrier properties and re-usability, make it a preferred medium for packaging in the Food and Beverage industries. Furthermore, improving economic conditions, disposable incomes, and the expanding middle class will see an increase in the demand for premium products, in turn contributing to the growth of Glass packs.
