During the COVID-19 pandemic dairy products became increasingly present in the shopping trolleys/baskets of Italian consumers, supported by the fact that they were spending a lot more time at home than usual due to lockdown, travel restrictions, remote working/learning and foodservice closures. This meant more at-home cooking and eating than usual as well as many consumers discovering, or rediscovering, a passion for home-baking.
Demand for resealable packaging continues to increase in Italy, in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacting on-the-go consumption. This is because many consumers appreciate resealable pack types for at-home consumption as they tend to keep products fresher for longer.
Liquid cartons and HDPE bottles remained the most commonly used pack types for drinking milk products in Italy. Liquid cartons dominates shelf stable milk (brick and shaped liquid cartons) and milk alternatives (brick liquid cartons).
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a growing awareness of and preference for health and wellness products. The confirmation of new styles of consumption and the awareness that a healthy diet is an important factor in the prevention of diseases linked to ageing have strengthened this trend.
