Latest Trends and Key Issues in the French Retail Packaging Market

1. Executive Summary

The French packaging industry will witness moderate growth between 2012 and 2017, with the number of

packs increasing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of XX.XX%. However, this moderate

growth is influenced by a number of factors such as macroeconomic trends, demographic trends, and

change in shopping behaviors. The alteration in consumer behavior provides both opportunities and

challenges for packaging companies.

Continually changing demographic patterns affecting the consumer goods industry

The aging population, and to a lesser extent the growth in tourism, are expected to provide excellent

opportunities for French consumer goods companies in the coming years. Therefore, it is very important

for companies to understand the specific wants and needs of these segments; for example:

Convenient packaging and healthier food products are the more important factors affecting the

purchase decisions of an aging population

The growth in number of tourists in France is causing increased demand for traditional French

food and beverages and the extended used of multi-lingual labels for traditional French products

Purchase decision influenced by unemployment and low consumer confidence

The current high rate of unemployment in France coupled with low consumer confidence is also

impacting consumer purchase decisions with many more cash-strapped French consumers now on the

lookout for low cost goods. Furthermore, retail stores are offering more discounts in order to attract

consumers.

With the increasing number of unemployed young adults, there has been a fall in impulse purchasing

and, with the decline in disposable incomes; shoppers have become more rational by planning their

budgets and purchasing more „value for money‟ goods. This has led to new approaches in retailing such

as the drive-through stores that are growing in popularity in France.

French consumers are shopping more often, for smaller pack products, and will rely more on

processed food

The changing shopping behavior will largely impact the demand of certain products. Firstly, the quality of

restaurant food in France has been called into question after it emerged that some restaurants relied

heavily on microwaves to cook food. This will drive consumers to reduce the number of times they eat

out, and by extension increase the relative share of packaged food. Secondly, the increase in the number

of working women and busier lifestyles has led to a rise in demand for easy-to-cook food options. Thirdly,

with the decline in discretionary spending, French consumers have been increasingly purchasing smaller

pack formats. This implies an increase in the frequency of purchase and a gradual shift from larger pack

sizes.

Sustainable packaging gaining importance

French packaging manufactures are adopting multi-dimensional approaches to develop sustainable

packaging. Examples of this include reducing packaging waste, reducing the carbon footprint of

production and transportation, increasing the use of recycled content in their packaging, and further light

weighting packaging to reduce the amount of materials used.

Packaging companies have adopted three strategies to lightweight their packaging. These are shifting

from heavier to lighter packaging materials, weight reduction within the packaging material used, and

reduction in the weight of the closure. For instance, French paint manufacturers have been increasing the

use of PP packaging and gradually shifting from the traditional steel Paint Cans. Likewise, Evian has

introduced lighter packaging for its packaged water through the use of recycled packaging material.

Plastic and Flexible packaging material experiencing positive growth

Cheaper and lighter weight packaging is gaining popularity in France, encouraging manufactures to use

Plastic and Flexible packaging for different products. The use of plastic packaging in non-traditional

sectors such as wine and other products is also ensuring that the growth of plastic packaging is

maintained. Glass, paper & board and metal packaging have been experiencing declines in their

respective market shares over last few years. In spite of this positive growth seen in the French plastic

packaging industry, volatility in the cost of the raw material and inconsistent supply are the main

challenges the industry is now facing.

2. Market Dynamics

2.1 Overview

Demand for primary retail packaging is expected to accelerate marginally in the future: the number of

packs used in France increased at a CAGR of XX.XX% during 2007–2012 and this will increase to a

CAGR of XX.XX% during 2012–2017.

This section will explore the dynamics of France‟s packaging market, reviewing change over the 2007–

2012 period and forecasting how the market will evolve between 2012 and 2017. This is first covered at

an overall level, after which the market is broken down by material.

2.1.1 France Packaging by Material

The overall French primary packaging market grew at a CAGR of XX.XX% during 2007–2012, reaching a

total of XX million packs in 2012. Growth will accelerate slightly over 2012–2017, when the number of

packs will increase at a CAGR of XX.XX%, with Rigid Plastics and Flexible Packaging expected to

provide the greatest absolute growth. However, the demand for Glass packaging will decline dramatically;

with almost XX million fewer packs will be used by 2017 compared to 2007.

2.2 Flexible Packaging

2.2.1 Overall Flexible Packaging Market

The number of Flexible Packaging packs used in France will increase steadily between 2007 and 2016,

with annual growth ranging between XX.XX% and XX.XX% during this period. From 2016 onwards, a

decline in the use of flexible packaging will cause the growth rate to stand at XX.XX% in 2017. In

absolute terms, the Food sector, in particular Dairy Products, will drive much of this growth.

2.3 Paper & Board

2.3.1 Number of Paper & Board Packs by Market

Although demand from the Food sector increased by almost XX million packs between 2007 and 2012,

the decline in the use of Paper & Board packaging for Non-Alcoholic Drinks, Pet Care, and Tobacco &

Tobacco Products will bring down the CAGR rate of overall Paper & Board Packs to XX.XX% by 2017

from XX.XX% of 2012.

The steady growth in Food is primarily the result of an increase in the demand for the use of Paper &

Board Wrappers for Cheese and Gums, and Clamshell packs for Eggs which are easier to recycle than

Rigid Plastic alternatives.

2.5 Rigid Metal

2.5.1 Number of Rigid Metal Packs by Outer Type

In 2012, 98.5% of Rigid Metal Packs did not have an Outer as Rigid Metal is considered to be sturdy

enough to be used without an Outer. The use of Paper & Board Box and Flexible Shrink Wrap is also

expected to a decline during 2012–2017.
