Top Consumer Trends
Top consumer trends driving the packaging industry’s performance

The growing desire for convenience is seen across packaging industries as


consumers increasingly demand products that fit into their urban, hectic lifestyles.
Globally, consumers increasingly prefer pack types suitable for on-the-go
consumption, especially in categories such as packaged food and soft drinks.

As consumers become increasingly health conscious, they are opting for smaller
portions when looking for indulgence. They continue to value smaller pack sizes in
food packaging, especially for soft drinks and juices, due to concern over sugar
intake. In confectionery, smaller pack sizes supported on-the-go consumption
across regions.

Players have started introducing eco-friendly materials for green and sustainable
packaging across various categories. For instance, in China, Ecolean packaging, an
innovation in plastic pouches, is gaining popularity. It is lightweight, eco-friendly,
and has a convenient shape for portability. Similarly, recyclable PET is also gaining
momentum in North America on the back rising environmental concerns.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Convenience trend drives robust growth of flexible plastic and PET bottles
Busier consumer lifestyles across the globe have fueled the growth of convenience-orientated packaging such as flexible
plastic and PET bottles. They were the most sought after pack types across multiple categories (salty snacks, noodles,
confectionery) in 2018. These pack types, light in weight, are convenient to use even while on-the-go. Also, they have a
high degree of customizability and are cost effective from a manufacturing perspective.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Packaging industry strengthens on the back of changing demographics
Smaller pack sizes are on the rise owing to their portability
• Smaller pack sizes that offer the convenience of portability for quick on-the-go consumption
increased consumption of certain packaged food and beauty and personal care categories. Also,
shrinking households prefer smaller volume packs in an attempt to keep the freshness of the
contents intact, boosting further demand in the region.

Changing demographics influence packaging trends


• An aging population, rising number of single households, and millennials with fast-paced
lifestyles are influencing packaging trends in the region. For instance, aging consumers look for easy
to open, lighter, and small portions pack types while working consumers opt for products in easy to
consume on-the-go pack formats.

Premiumization in packaging gains momentum


• A strong premiumization trend is occurring in many areas of packaging and is likely to continue in
the forecast period. In categories such as confectionery, beauty and personal care, and alcoholic
drinks, manufacturers are resorting to eye-catching and innovative packaging to make their
products stand out in the shelf-space. For instance, in India, Clinique launched its ‘Smart Custom
SPF15 Moisturizer’ in a glass jar to give it a premium look in 2017.

Players emphasize health claims to appeal to health-conscious Asians


• Growing health-conscious consumer lifestyles have prompted manufacturers to utilize packaging
design and labels to convey nutritional information and health claims. As health-awareness among
consumers is anticipated to rise, it is critical for manufacturers to use packaging design and labels
strategically to appeal to health-conscious consumers and stand out on the shelves.

Total Packaging by Category Overview
Rising health consciousness shapes packaging trends in the market

§ Health awareness and hygiene concerns encouraged Indians to shift to packaged dairy products such as milk, butter,
and cheese. Moreover, the working population relies heavily on packaged milk-based drinks, such as flavored milk and
yogurt and sour milk for on-the-go consumption to meet their daily nutrient requirements. This trend is fostering the
volume growth of packaging in the country.

§ Packaging in Thailand in beverages grew by a CAGR of 2.1% over 2013/18 owing to rising demand for smaller pack
sizes in beverages, especially soft drinks. Apparent portion downsizing and choices of healthier drinks in smaller
packaging remained popular trends in the country among rapidly growing numbers of time-constricted Thai consumers.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
A pronounced shift in demand towards small and environment-friendly packaging
Glass packaging to grow on the back of premiumization trend
• The use of glass is rising in categories in which quality is an important driver of demand, including
confectionery, baby food, spreads and sauces, dressings, and alcoholic drinks.
• Glass packaging lends an air of premium quality to products and offers consumers a look at the
products contained within, thus, assisting them in their purchasing decisions.

Rising environmental concerns influence product packaging


• Consumers increasingly demand environmentally-friendly products and ecologically sound packing,
meaning packaging that is recyclable, biodegradable or comprises compostable packaging material.
• Refill packs such as plastic pouches, glass bottles, and collapsible thin PET bottles will become more
popular, possibly at the expense of HDPE bottles, as the latter is more harmful to the environment.

Growing health concerns drive smaller pack sizes


• Australian consumers, who are increasingly health-conscious and opt for smaller portions when
indulging, value smaller pack sizes, especially for soft drinks and juices as they are concerned with
their sugar intake.
• Larger pack sizes in beauty and personal care continued to benefit from their value proposition, with
consumers becoming more likely to compare sizes based on price per milliliter.

Wine packaged in metal beverage cans enters the mainstream


• The main appeal of wine in aluminum cans is the convenience that the pack type offers, especially
when consuming wine outside of the home on picnics or at outdoor events and festivals.
• Metal beverage cans also offer advantages such as the effective chilling of white and rosé wine and
remove the need to bring a corkscrew to uncork the bottle.

• An increasing number of Chinese consumers pay attention to the nutrition panels on the back or side
of food packaging to learn about the nutritional value of the products. To make the nutrition
components stand out, manufacturers increasingly reveal the most prominent element on the front
pack of products, particularly for dairy products. For example, Dou Ben Dou, the newly launched soy
milk from Dali, revealed the protein content of 4 g/100 ml in gold and large font size on the front of
the pack of its pure soy milk product.

Healthy living trend drives the demand for nutritional information on food pack labels

§ Food packaging accounts for more than 50% of the total packaging market in China, which witnessed a CAGR of 1.6% over
2013/18. Consumers prefer food packaging pack types that highlight nutrition panels as they are more aware and want to
scrutinize the ingredients of the food they are purchasing.

§ The convenient packaging trend that allows consumers to drink on-the-go is influencing beverages packing in China. They
want packaging that lets them consume while commuting, at work, or at the gym. Moreover, companies are aiming to
deliver a more interesting consumer experience via their packaging. For example, Nongfu Spring launched a bottled water
featuring a smartphone AR code that lets consumers take pictures with popular music stars.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Lifestyle shifts driving demand for small, sustainable packaging
Sustainability awareness drives consumer packaging type preferences

• Consumers across Eastern Europe expect packaging to be sustainable. The packaging is made entirely
of a reusable resource (glass, metal) or appears sustainable (functional flexible plastic bag inside a
carton).

Where packaging is sustainable, it will remain so

• Products like beer and wine, traditionally packed in glass bottles, are forecasted to remain packed this
way. Consumers may need to be convinced to adopt products sold in plastic or metal bottles as glass is
already seen as sustainable.

The pursuit of healthy lifestyles is a major influence on packaging size


• Many consumers in Eastern Europe want to live a healthier lifestyle. Some of them use smaller pack
sizes as a way of limiting their intake and imposing portion control. Smaller pack sizes help
consumers moderate their indulgences, and also create more packaging opportunities in higher
quantity.

The largest categories for packaging are food and beverages

• Across Eastern Europe, the largest categories across packaging types are food and beverages. Home
care, dog and cat food, and beauty and personal care are all slivered segments with some relatively
small variation by country.

§ As pet ownership continues to grow, strong repeat purchases of food drive consistency relative to non-food products. The
market is split fairly evenly between dog and cat food in terms of absolute growth by category across Eastern Europe.

§ In beauty and personal care, rigid plastic is the most used pack type. Flexible packaging and paper-based containers
(folding cartons, squeezable plastic tubes, HDPE bottles) are next. The least used are metal tins and bottles.

§ Home care packaging stands out in Ukraine, with developments focusing on making products conspicuous on shelves and
improving the customer experience through smaller sizes and more thoughtful designs such as bottles with attachments to
prevent lost caps, tablets, and capsule formats.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Plastics fare best - flexibles and PET to lead growth
Packaging used as a tool to communicate the brand’s values
• Brands are using packaging designs and labels to highlight their values and better connect with
consumers.
• In 2017, Cia Brasileira de Bebidas launched metal beverage cans in different skin tones, emphasizing
that people are the same inside despite being different on the outside. They also launched a metal can
featuring the colors of the gay pride parade to emphasize its support for the movement.

Search for convenience and value drives packaging polarization


• Two distinct trends are evident in terms of size in the Latin American market. One is a shift towards
smaller pack sizes (less than 100-501 ml), largely driven by a desire for convenience,
experimentation, shrinking household sizes, and accelerating consumer lifestyles.
• The other trend is a sharp rise in demand for very large pack sizes, driven in part by a search for
value.

Single-use plastic growth in soft drinks threatens returnable beverage bottles


• For the last decade, non-alcoholic drinks in LATAM have primarily been sold in a returnable packaging
format. The primary driver is mostly economics as most consumers prefer to pay for the product, not
the packaging material.
• However, consumer sentiments are shifting towards a preference for convenience, and multipacks are
increasingly a sought after pack type, particularly in children’s sizes. As a result, multipacks of thin
wall plastic containers and liquid cartons in small sizes are expected to do well in the future.
Metal boosts in energy drinks and beer
• While metal beverage cans already have a strong presence in the carbonates market, the growing
popularity of energy drinks in Latin America has further boosted its demand in the 101-300 ml band.
• Sales of multipack metal beer cans are exhibiting strong growth in Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil, 12-
packs and 18-packs dominate the multipack beer market, while the 6-pack is dominant in Mexico.

Total Packaging by Category Overview
Multipacks to offer complementary/full experience products in home care

§ Packaged food packaging is contingent upon the relative convenience of consumption. Many consumers are increasingly
on-the-go and continue to show a preference for more conveniently prepared foods, even at higher unit prices. In most
categories, this usually involved a preference for plastic packaging over metal cans.

§ As consumers look for attractive unit prices, multipacks have emerged to become a key strategy in home care. Players are
offering their products in multipacks, including complementary products such as liquid detergents and multi-purpose
cleaners, or those positioned as “full experience” products, meaning the original product packaging with a trigger closure
and another refill option in stand-up pouches.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Key government initiatives in representative markets influence the packaging industry
A region in turmoil slowly returning to stability
• The region of the Middle East & Africa comprises markets that are going through differing economic
fortunes. Egypt is facing many challenges after the liberalization of the Egyptian pound and the
continuous rise in fuel prices, leading to a surge in product prices. Hence, consumers tend to be price-
sensitive. Similarly, in the United Arab Emirates, the introduction of a 5% VAT from January 2018
influenced consumer spending.
• Consumer spending on packaged foods and an interest in health and wellness products is growing in
Israel, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia. Israel also supports premiumization.
Eco-friendly packaging a growing priority
• Advanced markets in the region such as the United Arab Emirates are witnessing a rise in the number
of international brands offering organic, chemical-free, and natural products, using eco-friendly
packaging. Examples include Australian brand Organic Care from Nature’s Organics, which uses
packaging made from recycled and disposable plastic.
• Saudi Arabia is implementing wide-ranging reforms under the Vision 2030 program that includes an
effort to address environmental issues with key recyclable materials like glass bottles, metal beverage
cans, PET bottles, paper, and cardboard.
Convenience considerations influence beauty and personal care packaging
• Packaging in beauty and personal care is geared towards promoting convenience among consumers.
For example, introduction of Vaseline Jelly in a flip-cap jar and Dove’s Advanced Hair Series Dry Oil
Shampoo in a squeezable plastic tube in the United Arab Emirates facilitated convenient usage.
• Government decisions that are leading to an exodus of the expat population will affect beauty and
personal care packaging in Saudi Arabia. As a more local consumer base for beauty and personal care
products develops, demand for large, value-for-money packaging in categories such as bath and
shower, hair care, oral care, and baby-specific products will increase. Small, convenient, on-the-go
packaging will be in demand for categories such as color cosmetics.

Growing focus on the recyclability of plastic within beverages packaging

§ Food packaging accounted for the majority share of packaging in Egypt, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates in 2018.
Egyptian consumers tend to purchase cost-efficient promotional multipacks and economy packs, whereas the introduction
of the 5% Value Added Tax (VAT) in the United Arab Emirates led to more cautious consumer spending.

§ Beverages packaging accounted for the majority share of packaging in Saudi Arabia in 2018. In Saudi Arabia, new
regulation banning plastic products in the food and beverage industry that do not carry a SASO-approved logo (Saudi
Arabian Standards Organization) are expected to have an impact on the packaging industry. As a result, manufacturers are
expected to increase the share of recyclable plastic packaging, including HDPE and PET bottles.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Fast-paced lifestyles are shaping packaging trends with a focus on convenience
Easy to carry and store pack sizes are in high demand
• A growing desire for convenience is one trend that is seen across various packaging industries as
consumers are finding they need products that fit into increasingly urban, hectic lifestyles.
• Maximum pack sizes imposed by air travel security protocols as well as increased need for portable
pack types in daily life have contributed to the rise of smaller pack sizes in packaged food, alcoholic
and non-alcoholic beverages, and in beauty and personal care.

Packing innovation increasingly revolves around sustainability and recyclability


• Consumers are becoming aware of the environmental impact of their actions, and hence,
sustainability is playing a key role as North Americans prefer pack types that use less material and
are recyclable.
• In dairy as well as soft drinks packaging, manufacturers are making efforts to introduce
reformulations of traditional packaging that are sustainable and less wasteful.

PET bottles and metal beverage cans remain popular pack types
• The introduction of recyclable PET (rPET) on the back of sustainability trends helped keep PET
bottled the most dominant pack type in North America.
• PET bottles also made an entry in RTD coffee in 2018 with Coca-Cola’s launch of McCafé RTD coffee in
a PET format.
• Metal packaging grew in popularity across categories such as bottled water, wine, and energy drinks
as they provided the convenience of consumption.
Wine witnesses inventive packaging with a rise in consumption occasions
Many consumers are turning to wine as a beverage to be enjoyed in less formal occasions such as
outside parties, hikes or relaxed beach sports, demanding portable and lightweight packaging.
Manufacturers are responding to this new trend with a variety of new pack types such as bag-in-box,
liquid cartons, and PET bottles.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Leading pack type, flexible plastic, likely to lose share to other modern pack types

Demand for pack types favoring on-the-go consumption on the rise

• Russians increasingly preferred pack types suitable for on-the-go consumption, prominently in
categories such as packaged food and soft drinks, over 2013/18.
• As consumers sought various dairy products as a grab and go snack, several large companies
launched new products. For instance, Arla Foods Starbucks flavored milk drinks introduced in easy-
to-use and portable packs.

Value-for-money packs gain momentum in home care and beauty products


• Due to overall uncertainty around the Russian economy since 2014, the demand for beauty products
and multi-purpose products in home care in value-for-money formats increased. In response to this
trend, Beiersdorf launched its new 3-in-1 facial cleanser, Nivea Make-Up Expert, in a large 400 ml
package.
• In home care products, consumers with limited budgets showed more concern about the price and
effectiveness of these products and much less interest in the environmental friendliness of the
packaging.

Flexible plastic makes way for thin wall plastic containers and folding cartons
• More-modern packaging types, such as thin wall plastic containers which recorded an overall
growth of 1.6% CAGR over 2013/18, are replacing flexible plastic packaging. These pack types gained
popularity in categories such as ready meals and processed meat and seafood, in line with the
growing convenience trend.
• Baby food and confectionery manufacturers prefer folding cartons as they provide more
opportunities to develop an appealing pack design, use attractive pictures, and other eye-catching
packaging elements.

Demand for thin wall plastic containers on the rise in food packaging
§ Food packaging in Russia witnessed the emergence of thin wall plastic containers, posting a CAGR of 1.7%, and a
simultaneous decline in flexible packaging over 2013/18. The rising convenience trend drove the volume share of thin
wall plastic containers in categories such as processed meat and seafood, confectionery, ready meals, and dairy packaging.

§ Rigid plastic dominated the volume share in the soft drinks segment in 2018 in Russia. In 2018 purchasing power
declined. Consumers, though, were not yet ready to abandon the consumption of their favorite drink and preferred smaller
volumes. So soft drink producers actively used small packaging formats. To meet these needs, local player Sady Pridonya
launched Easy Smuzi in a 0.2-liter pack, offering a convenient and healthy alternative for snacking.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Packaging industry in South Africa needs to adapt to its changing economic climate
South African consumers respond to convenient packaging options
• Challenging economic conditions have influenced packaging trends in South Africa, as manufacturers
seek to keep costs down, and consumers pay closer attention to managing the household budgets.
• Urban lifestyles continued to drive demand for convenient packaging formats, particularly those
compatible with on-the-go use and consumption.
Smaller pack sizes have greater ‘healthy’ appeal
• Along with convenience, health-consciousness had a growing appeal in packaging considerations. For
example, smaller packaging has become popular with a growing number of consumers looking for
healthy on-the-go snacks.
• In confectionery, smaller pack sizes support on-the-go impulse purchases and appeal to a growing
interest in portion control.

Beauty and personal care re-thinks packaging solutions


• Bulk packaging has become increasingly popular for some beauty and personal care categories that
are perceived to be essentials or everyday items, allowing consumers to economize their spending
owing to economies of scale.
• Manufacturers in non-essential beauty and personal care categories such as fragrances are
introducing smaller, travel-size packs that involve a lower, one-time outlay to stimulate purchases
among low-to-middle income groups, and encourage consumers to experiment with new products.
Growing demand for plastic pouch format in home care
• One notable impact of the economic challenges both manufacturers and consumers face in home care
is the increasing prominence of plastic pouch formats, as these are quite affordable. Brands and
private label ranges have adopted the plastic pouch format, popular as refill packs in laundry care, to
keep costs down.

Total Packaging by Pack Type Overview
Convenience and sustainability shape Western Europe’s packaging market
Food and beverages see a shift towards smaller pack sizes
• Rapid urbanization, busier lifestyles, and smaller households have driven the demand for mini
formats and single-serve pack types. This has increased ease of use in both food and beverages
packaging. These smaller pack sizes make it easier to consume on-the-go as well as to handle and
carry the products.

PET bottles witness growth owing to transparency and innovation in packaging


• PET bottles are popular among consumers as they are transparent. Moreover, the introduction of
newer recyclable PET (rPET) bottles has improved the environmental sustainability factor for this
pack type. For example, in 2018, Highland Spring launched a 100% rPET bottle for its 500 ml still
bottled water range, changing its label from the brand’s customary purple color to green to position
the product as eco-friendly.

Players innovate flexible plastic to minimize its environmental impact


• Stand-up pouches in flexible plastic have gained popularity for fruit purees as well as other organic
fruit snacks categories. These pouches improve flexibility and provide protection against UV lights
and pollutants. Moreover, players are developing new plant-based plastic packaging that is more
environmentally sustainable.

Metal beverage cans emerge as the preferred packaging

• Metal beverage cans have been expanding their foothold in other non-alcoholic beverages (RTD
beverages, bottled water, juices), as they provide an option to keep products fresh longer, are easy and

Total Packaging by Category Overview
Smaller pack types gaining popularity in both food and beverages packaging

§ In 2018, food packaging accounted for the highest share (55%) in Western Europe, followed by beverage packaging (37%).
Both the food and beverage categories saw the demand for smaller, lighter, and easy to store and handle pack sizes. The
rise in smaller or single-person households and the demand for convenience via on-the-go packaging and resealability
influenced the demand for smaller pack sizes.

§ Within beverage, in particular, these trends have resulted in the launch of mini formats such as Rauch Fruchtsäfte GmbH &
Co in a glass bottle. Further, single-serve packs have gained popularity. For instance, Cool Cold Brew launched its RTD
coffee in a 250 ml shaped liquid carton with a peel-off foil closure that allows direct consumption.
