1. Executive Summary

The Thai packaging industry grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of xx.xx% over the

2010–2013 period; robust growth of xx.xx% is expected in the 2013–2016 period.

Thailand is undergoing significant macroeconomic and demographic changes, such as a rapidly aging

population and a shrinking average household size, leading to the emergence of important consumer

segments. These shifts are driving consumer packaging needs, for instance older consumers requiring

packaging types that are easy-to-open, re-sealable, and easy-to-handle. CPG manufacturers and

packaging converters need to stay abreast of these changes and adapt their products and services

accordingly.

Significant proportion of rural population and rising segment of older consumers impact the

Thai retail market

Thailand has a significantly large rural population, which is highly dependent on the low-paying

agriculture sector, thus rural consumers have significantly lower average disposable incomes than urban

dwellers. This creates demand for affordable retail formats such as sachets and single-serve packs, in

order to help keep prices per unit attainable. Smaller average household sizes in Thailand are expected

to further boost the demand for such packaging formats. The proportion of older consumers in Thailand,

i.e. those 65 years and above, is rapidly growing, leading to this becoming an important consumer

segment. This consumer group is expected to experience further growth in the future, resulting in a rise in

demand for packaging that is light and easy to handle in terms of the closure format and product weight.

Declining unemployment and rising Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows indicate growing

opportunity for packaging manufacturers

The unemployment rate in Thailand is currently low, standing at xx.xx% in 2011. Coupled with the high

level of consumer confidence, this is expected to lead to an increase in the demand for consumer

packaged goods. In particular, Thai consumers have a greater tendency to spend more on essential

goods such as food and grocery rather than on non-essential items such as electronics and apparel. This

is expected to broaden the scope for packaging and make it more significant in Thailand‟s retail industry.

A favorable environment for business has helped the increase of FDI inflow into Thailand. This is

expected to enhance competition and prompt manufacturers to benchmark their offerings to international

standards.

Plastic packaging is increasingly preferred by Thai manufacturers

Plastic is the preferred packaging material for manufacturers and packaging converters in Thailand.

Flexible Packaging retained the largest share of the Thai packaging industry between 2010 and 2013,

and this is forecast to continue 2013–2017. Rigid Plastics are rapidly emerging as an alternative to

heavier packaging materials, such as Glass. Steady growth was observed in its market share in the Thai

packaging market and this is expected to continue in the future. The share of Paper & Board packaging is

expected to decline, driven by slowing demand from Household Care and the Tobacco & Tobacco

Products markets.

Growing preference for convenience and sustainability drive innovation in the Thailand

packaging industry

The Thai packaging industry has not been immune to the consumer price sensitivity and growing

pressure on profit margins that have been driving changes and consequently influencing manufacturing

and design trends globally. As a result of the growing price sensitivity, manufacturers have been looking

at value additions that enhance their product‟s appeal and ability to stand out from competitors.

Packaging provides manufacturers with an avenue to do this without incurring significant cost. As a result,

packaging converters and manufacturers have been increasingly looking to enhance convenience in

products, leading to a gradual change in the packaging process. This ongoing change will be highlighted

in this report. Moreover, rising eco-consciousness has been affecting manufacturers and consumers‟

alike, driving innovation in the Thai packaging industry as manufacturers increasingly look to reduce the

environmental impact of their products and associated packaging.
