Technavio has released a new market research report on the global FMCG packaging market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4% between 2016 and 2020. Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) packaging is used to pack products such as meat, fruits and vegetables, dairy products, baked goods, toiletries, pre-packaged foods, soft drinks, and cleaning products. The major customers of FMCG packaging are food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, personal care, homecare, and other industries. Europe leads the FMCG packaging market, owing to rise in demand for flexible FMCG packaging products in the region. Germany, Italy, and the UK are the major revenue contributors for the European market.
The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
“One of the latest trends gaining traction in this market is the increased adoption of pouch packaging. Pouch packaging is made of multi-level laminates that maintain the sterile packaging of different foods and beverages. Pouch packaging helps maintain safety and product freshness. Being compact and lightweight, pouches are convenient to use. Several FMCG vendors are using retort pouch packaging as it provides scope for the creation of new designs and sizes. These pouches can also be customized based on the demand from consumer goods manufacturers,” says Sharan Raj, Lead Analyst, Transportation & Logistics, Technavio Research
Flexible plastic occupies the largest share in the market, covering 35% of the total market. Much of this segment’s growth can be attributed to the growing demand for flexible plastics tubes, retort, and stand-up pouches for convenience food products. Flexible packaging offer high flexibility, moldability, recyclability, and thermoform properties, besides providing down-gauging options from contamination and deterioration.
