Dairy essential to global packaging growth in food

Dairy globally was the number one food category for packaging volumes in 2013; it is also expected to record the second biggest absolute volume growth to 2018. Both growing demand in emerging regions and a need for packaging diversification in more saturated economies are behind this positive outlook.

Shift from unpackaged to packaged dairy staples in emerging world

In Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa and the Middle East, rising incomes and the expansion of modern retail outlets with chilled aisles are favouring a switch from unpackaged milk and yoghurt to packaged versions.

Packaging needs to add value in more mature regions

High market maturity in Western Europe, North America and Australasia especially for core categories such as milk, yoghurt and cheese increasingly calls for brand differentiation through packaging in these regions.

China stands out in drinking milk products, pack sizing globally key to success

Prospects for packaging in drinking milk products are topped by brick liquid cartons and beverage cans for popular flavoured milk drinks in China. In milk, down-sizing HDPE bottles and brick liquid cartons will globally enable targeting of children and smaller households.

Region-specific opportunities for rigid plastic in yoghurt

While demand for drinking yoghurt in single-serve HDPE bottle sizes shifts to Asia and Latin America, spoonable yoghurt brands in Europe and the US are suggesting higher quality and healthy snacking through innovation such as thin wall container shaping.

Pack growth potential for cheese in MEA, Europe for other dairy products

Consumers in the Middle East and Africa are embracing the convenience of spreadable cheese in thin wall containers. Europeans desire better sealability and portability in hard cheese. Cream also bodes well for packaging in Europe.
