Rigid Plastic Packaging Market Forecast 2015-2025: Prospects for Leading Companies

Convenience is a major factor in packaging design and materials too; it is one of the main reasons

in the growth and strength of rigid plastic packaging. Many consumers now demand beverages

that they do not have to consume in one go but rather drink over a longer period of time. Plastic

bottle are probably the most effective solution to this problem with re-sealable lids. Beverages

packaged in metal and glass are often consumed in one go and the on the go consumer now

demands a beverage which they can consume later if they wish too. Ageing populations have also

affected beverage packaging because they often demand easier to open packaging.

The most significant contributors to the submarket, leading the growth of the beverage rigid plastic

packaging submarket, will be PET and HDPE bottles. PET and HDPE bottles are used to package

soft drinks and bottled water, with the soft drinks market making a gradual transition from glass

packaging and into rigid plastic packaging in emerging markets. The soft drink glass packaging

market has shrunk over the years as glass failed to compete with the cheaper and more durable

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics. Many

consumers are drinking less alcoholic beverages and drinking more soft drinks, teas, juices and

waters instead due to the health concerns of excessive alcohol consumption.

The position of rigid plastic beverage packaging is further enhanced by its expansion into the

markets that are traditionally dominated by glass or metal packaging. Previously, the alcoholic

spirits market were almost exclusively packaged in glass packaging, with the rare exception of

metal packaging for publicity or marketing purposes. The link between glass packaging and a

premium product is reinforced by luxury goods that are almost exclusively packaged in glass:

champagne and wine, alcoholic spirits and top of the range cosmetics. Now however, the

McCormick Distilling Company has packaged its 360 Vodka brand in a custom Amcor PET bottle

that is capped with the spirits’ industry’s first swing top closure. Amcor has achieved the

McCormick Distilling Company’s specifications that the bottle must have the texture and

appearance of a glass packaging despite actually being manufactured from PET. Amcor calculates

that this custom bottle will weigh one tenth the weight of an identical spirit bottled manufactured

from glass packaging.

4.3.2.2 Concerns over Rigid Plastic Packaging for Beverages

Despite its properties favoured by beverage producers, environmental and health concerns over

the usage of rigid plastic packaging products are calling for a halt in the growth of beverage rigid

plastic packaging submarket.

Going green is a main theme in the packaging market. Environmentally friendly packaging of

beverage product has not only become an ethical concern, but more of a marketing technique

6.5.3.1 How Economic Factors Influence the German Rigid Plastic

Packaging Market?

Germany is the world’s 4th largest economy in terms of estimated total GDP in 2014, and the fifth

largest economy in PPP terms. It is Europe’s largest economy. Germany has been a leading

industrial location in the world. The strong and active industrial sectors are driving the demand for

industrial packaging products in Germany. Moreover, large population and strong consumer

purchasing power will enhance the growth of the Germany consumer packaging market through

higher demand for consumer goods which will also encourage the expansion of the manufacturing

sector. The strong economy and wealthy consumer base provide solid demand for the German

rigid plastic packaging market.

Rigid Plastic Packaging Market Forecast 2015-2025: Prospects for Leading Companies

Graham Packaging has a number of competitors due to the relative ease and low cost of producing

blow moulded plastic containers. Competitors include Amcor, APLA and Tetra Laval’s Sidel

division. These three companies compete to manufacture blow-moulded plastic bottles for

customers across the Food and Beverage, Household and Industrial sectors.

9.2.5 Reynolds Group Holdings Future Outlook

The company struggled slightly in 2014, with sales revenue falling 2013 in many of its packaging

segments, and the total revenue declined by 1% YTD. Evergreen and Reynolds Consumer
