Trends and Opportunities in the French Packaging industry: Analysis of changing packaging trends in the Food, Cosmetics and Toiletries, Beverages and Other industries
Summary
Innovations in the packaging industry have led to the development of various light weight, flavor/quality preserving, and convenient packaging options. In terms of packaging material, Rigid Plastics and Flexible Packaging are among the major share gainers, with share growth of 0.6% and 0.5% respectively during 2016-2021, predominantly due to the cost-effectiveness and convenience they offer, which is preferred in the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages industries within France. On the other hand, Paper & Board packaging is forecast to lose 0.8% of its share during 2016-2021, largely due to the fall in the consumption of Cigarettes (largest consumer of Paper & Board packaging), and the rising popularity of Rigid Plastics and Flexible packaging in the Non-Alcoholic Beverages industry.
The French packaging industry will see moderate growth between 2016-2021, growing from 88,645.6 million units in 2016 to 96,395.5 million units in 2021, at a CAGR of 1.7% compared to 1.4% during 2011-2016. The growth of the French packaging industry will be heavily influenced by changing demographics and social factors such as a high employment rate and a large aging population, which have a clear impact on consumer spending power and purchasing habits. These changes drive the need for new packaging formats such as convenient, value-for-money, multi-packs, and smaller single-serve packs.
Rigid Plastics is the most used pack type in France and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% during 2016-2021. Rigid Plastics are preferred by manufacturers due to their moldable characteristics and versatility of applications across industries. In addition, the increasing demand for cheaper, lighter, and more convenient packaging make Rigid Plastics most preferred pack type for FMCG products. The Food and Soft Drinks industries are the major users of Rigid Plastics, accounting for 62.1% and 15.2% share respectively in 2016.
Paper & Board packaging is projected to grow at a CAGR of -0.1% during 2016-2021, declining from 8,186.8 million units in 2016 to 8,156.6 million units in 2021. This decline is large attributed to the fall in the consumption of Cigarettes (largest user of Paper & Board packaging) in the country, thus directly impacting the growth of packaging. In addition to Tobacco and Tobacco Products, consumption is set to decrease in various other industries such as Soft Drinks, Household Care, and Pet Care, driven by the rising popularity of Rigid Plastics and Flexible Packaging in these industries.
The packaging market in France is strongly driven by demand from the Food and Non-Alcoholic Beverages industries, which make heavy use of the Rigid Plastic, Flexible Packaging, and Rigid Metal pack types. The popularity of Rigid Plastics (42.0% share in 2016) is attributed to benefits such as convenience and the extended shelf life of Food products such as Bakery & Cereals, Dairy products, and Soft Drinks.
