Packaging (Food & Drink) Market Report 2010
Key Note Publications Ltd, January 2010, Pages: 144
The UK market for food and drink packaging was worth an estimated £5.01bn in 2009, the economic downturn and falling demand in the food industry having caused the market's value to fall by around 2% during the year. Despite this setback, the UK has one of the world's most developed and most diverse food and drink industries, and packaging is often viewed as a way of obtaining a competitive advantage.
The food and drink industry accounts for more than half of the UK's packaging market, ahead of sectors such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and healthcare/medicine. The share of the packaging market taken by food and drink is particularly high in the glass sector, owing to the dominance of glass bottles in the beverages industry. However, food and drink applications account for more than half of apparent consumption for all types of packaging material except metal (which has a share of just under 50%).
The market for food and drink packaging is being driven by a number of major trends at present, chief amongst which is the environment. Packaging suppliers are subject to UK and EU legislation obliging them to recover and recycle increasing quantities of materials, as well as keeping their use of virgin materials to a minimum. An increasingly ethical consumer base now expects manufacturers to use smaller quantities of packaging.
From a supply perspective, the UK food and drink packaging industry has changed significantly during the past decade. Some companies have sold off parts of their business, particularly since the global economic downturn. Most of the UK's major suppliers are now active on the international stage, where some of the strongest growth markets are in emerging Asian countries, most notably the People's Republic of China (PRC) and India.
By 2014, the plastics sector is expected to have become the market's largest, driven by continuing technological innovations such as improvements in barrier protection. This trend is expected to increase the penetration of flexible forms of plastic packaging such as pouches within the food industry. In contrast, demand for paper, glass and metal packaging is likely to remain at more static levels, although all three materials are expected to retain a significant presence in the UK food and drink industry.
