Trends and Opportunities in the UK Packaging Industry
Summary
The packaging industry in the UK is estimated to grow from 111.1 billion units in 2018 to 118.3 billion units by 2023. Despite Brexit uncertainties, a stabilizing economy and gradual improvements in disposable incomes are leading to an increased spending on packaged goods. Furthermore, increasingly hectic lifestyle of the UK consumers is driving the growth of small-sized, on-the-go, easy to store/open/close packs in the country. Rigid plastics was the largest pack material in the country in 2018, while flexible packaging is forecast to register the fastest growth during 2018-2023.
