Trends and Opportunities in the UK Packaging Industry: Analysis of changing packaging trends in the Food, Cosmetics & Toiletries, Beverages, and Other Industries

Summary

The UK packaging industry is set to grow from 110,204.3 million units in 2017 to 118,276.3 million units by 2022, witnessing a CAGR of 1.4% during 2017-2022, compared to 1.7% during 2012-2017. This moderate CAGR in the UK packaging industry is largely attributed to the saturation of the retail industry, which is likely to continue in the future. Furthermore, the UK, being a developed country, has a high penetration of packaged food and beverages across income groups, providing fewer growth opportunities for different materials in the country. Among the different packaging materials used in the UK consumer industry, flexible packaging is estimated to register the fastest growth with a CAGR of 2% during 2017-2022.
