What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

As consumer product demand evolves, the dynamics between different packaging types also evolves – favoring some packaging types and formats and leaving others increasingly out of line with demand patterns. As a result, understanding the shifting market dynamics is key to ensuring maximum sales in the future.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

Packaging suppliers need to react to the changing demands of customers, consumers and regulation in order to plan for the future. But it’s not all cost reduction and light weighting. Packaging needs to adapt to a more complex picture of how consumption needs vary by product category and it’s positioning. More specific product positioning by finished goods manufacturers and retailers in many cases means more specifically tailored packaging – creating opportunities for the industry.

Key Features and Benefits

• Detailed coverage of key packaging innovations in the global health and beauty market, such as plastic bottles that keep products that need to be mixed separated until the point of use for improved efficacy. Pack materials and components covered include rigid plastics, flexible plastics, paper and board, rigid metal, glass, closures, labels and adhesives.
• Packaging innovations are related to the key drivers of consumer demand (such as ease of use with Ready to Kiss lipstick from Rexam Personal Care with its single handed use), cost savings (such as weight reduction by Toppan, replacing rigid plastic blister packs with paper and board plus a film), sustainability (such as Yonwoo’s Airless Paper Blow), and logistics efficiency (such as Plasticum’s Clube with simplified production methods).
• Key drivers are related to trends in the global health and beauty market such as a requirement for reduced prices without a loss of perceived quality, like Natura’s refill packs that snap into the Chronos bottomless pot.

Key Market Issues

• Consumers still expect their health and beauty packaging to look good; however, premium packaging must now be achieved with little or no additional cost.
• As social media reduces privacy consumers are becoming increasingly image conscious. This has led to a demand for personal care products with instant and heightened efficacy; packaging that can maintain product integrity is therefore in demand.
• Convenience has been a major innovation driver in the Rigid Plastics packaging sector, with a focus on portability, such as through the introduction of flat packaging suitable for the jeans pocket and single handed operation for application “on the go”.
• Increased consumer environmental awareness and packaging regulations are pushing the use of plant based sources for flexible packaging materials, primarily sugar cane.

Key Highlights

• Skincare and haircare are the most valuable global health and beauty markets and they still maintain good levels of growth. Packaging companies need to be active in these markets.
• Asia has experienced buoyant growth over the last 5 years; this, combined with a rise in disposable income, increasing concerns over issues such as pollution, over-crowding, and poor sanitation systems, and greater attempts to reduce the spread of disease have led to an increase in spending on hygiene and personal care products across the region.
• Although suncare will remain the smallest sector within the overall Health and Beauty market, it is forecast to grow the fastest through to 2017, as consumers show greater awareness and increased concern about the negative effects of the sun in terms of cancer and aging.
