Global FMCG Packaging Market Size

FMCG Packaging Market: Overview

Consumer packaged goods (CPG) or fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) refer to a group of high-demand merchandise that are sold quickly and for a comparatively low price. Processed foods, beverages, vegetables, toiletries, fruits, and other consumables are among these things. To protect the product from contamination and the growth of microbes, FMCG items are packaged using a variety of materials such as plastic, glass, metal, and paperboard. This, in turn, aids manufacturers in preserving product quality, extending shelf life, and allowing businesses to sell their brand through personalized packaging.

COVID-19 Impact:

The onset of COVID-19 pandemic rapidly changed consumers’ preferences that include increased shopping through digital channels, inclination towards hygienic packaging, and pocket-friendly product cost has drastically changed the packaging sector's scenario. Manufacturers faced major challenges to reduce the cost of packaging without altering the quality, and increase the packaging options concerning materials & sizes to make the final product more cost-effective. However, the sectors faced a few hurdles due to supply chain disturbances and restricted logistics. Still with the increase in demand from the food & beverage and pharmaceutical sectors the global FMCG packaging market is expected to recover fast during the forecast period. 

FMCG Packaging Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for nutritional foods among consumers may drive the growth of the market.

With customer demand for healthy meals on the rise, FMCG packaging businesses are reinventing their packaging to protect the nutritional content of the items they package. In May 2020, fresh-cut vegetable packaging included a revolutionary technology that emits an anti-pathogenic substance within the container to defend against germs, fungus, and viruses. Also, the transportation of packaged products and consumables can have negative consequences and reduce the nutritional value of the bundled contents. As customers want more knowledge about the origins of food goods, hyperlocal supply chains are becoming more prevalent.

Big merchants are beefing up their packaging to entice customers, thanks to the growing rise of private brands. According to a Daymon poll, more than half of customers are loyal to a company because of its private-label products. Furthermore, 85 percent of customers said they trust a private brand equally as much as a national brand, and 81 percent said they buy an individual brand product on every shopping trip, according to the research. These factors are projected to make a substantial impact on the growth of the market.

FMCG Packaging Market: Restraints

Scenario of plastic packaging recycling to limit the market growth

Packaging has always been important in maintaining product integrity, safety, and quality all through the distribution chain. For FMCG firms, post-consumer packaging waste is a major challenge. Only 16 percent of all plastic garbage created gets reprocessed to make new polymers, according to estimates of global uncontrolled dumping of all plastic material. Approximately 25% of worldwide plastic garbage is incinerated, while 40% is disposed of in landfills. Plastic packaging has been criticized for its low recycling rates and increasing environmental impact. Packaging demand growth is outpacing worldwide packaging growth rates, putting pressure on emerging economies, particularly Asian ones. Both recycling systems and waste collection are inefficiently handled and insufficiently scaled. This might impede the growth of the global FMCG packaging market.

FMCG Packaging Market: Opportunities

Growing adoption of intelligent packaging is estimated to boost the market during the forecast period

Consumers benefit from intelligent packaging because it adds value to their experience. Intelligent packaging is a smart method of determining the shelf life and quality of consumable goods. Touchless codes, such as temperature & moisture indicators, QR codes, barcodes, and others, pull information in less time, allowing buyers to make more informed judgments faster. Active packaging, such as Vacuum Atmospheric Packaging (VAP) and Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP), on the other hand, ensures that consumable items have a longer shelf life. Because smart packaging allows marketers to develop a brand presence, many end-users, such as pharmaceuticals and food & beverage, are migrating from traditional package types to smart packaging. All such factors may have numerous opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

FMCG Packaging Market: Challenges.

Low penetration of the market in rural areas and low shelf life are the major challenges for the market.

In developing countries, rural areas remain behind the times, with insufficient connection. As a result, distribution in rural areas is both costly and complicated. Because of the poor state of the roads, getting stock is becoming increasingly challenging. Again, the amount of business in rural areas is minimal, and small-quantity shipment is not cost-effective. Distance from a distributor or super supplier point adds to the stress. Furthermore, it makes no difference whether the brand is tiny or has a long shelf life. Some foodstuffs, such as bread, cake, and cold drinks, are perishable and have a shelf life of fewer than three months. These factors are stressing manufacturers to produce innovative packaging materials.

FMCG Packaging Market: Segmentation

The global FMCG packaging market is segmented based on type, application, and region. The type segment of the market is sub-categorized into paperboard, metal, rigid plastic, and flexible plastic. The application of FMCG packaging is bifurcated into the pharmaceutical industry, food & beverages, personal care industry, and others.
