Plastic packaging commands the largest share in the German packaging industry. The material's ability to mould to the different needs of CPG companies, and constant innovation from packaging manufacturers is helping Plastics to penetrate to new product categories.
As per VEBU (Vegetarierbund Deutschland), 8-9% of total German population is vegetarian. A string of food scandals has made German consumers wary about contaminated meat consumption, which has partly led to increased demand for vegetarian food.
Smaller single-person households will enhance the need for smaller pack sizes, in order to reduce the need for the storage of large volumes of consumables; in addition single-serve packs will gain importance.
Busy lifestyles demand convenient packaging. Canadean's survey shows that people with busy lifestyles prefer products that offer ease of use such as re-sealable packaging, single-serve packaging, or in-pack cooking.
Retailers, as well as packaging converters, have shown a strong inclination for lightweight packaging. Light weighting offers a win-win scenario as it reduces cost, as well as meeting regulatory compliance with respect to environmental challenges.

The global suncare market with a range of products including sun protection, after-tan and self-tan items has been encountering slow growth. However, though the economic growth of this segment decelerated in 2013 from a growth rate of 6% to 5%, the industry continues to progress smoothly. One of the key reasons cited has been the tough competition that the segment has been facing from the facial makeup and skin-care market. Additionally, the segment has seen a number of crucial mergers and acquisition, which has had a positive impact on the market. Of the many M&As, Emilia Personal Care has recently acquired the assets of Pharma Pac LLC - the new company is referred to as Emilia Resources LLC, which manufactures various sun-care items, cosmetics, and other consumer-based pharmaceutical items.

The report: Global Suncare Market: Mergers and Acquisitions April 2014 discusses the market drivers, key regions and challenges which threaten the market as well as the significant mergers and acquisitions that have propelled the industry forward.


Factors which drive the market

During the last five years, the global suncare market has been motivated by its multifaceted nature -consumers are attracted to products which are not time-consuming, are convenient and reasonably-priced. The introduction of new SPF-enriched suncare items, which also have an element of skincare in them, particularly in Western European markets has been driving up the sales. In the global market scenario, research indicates that suncare products with high SPF have a higher demand as compared to regular suncare items. Another noticeable trend has been that of specialized products that are skin-friendly and especially designed for children – baby suncare products are earning large revenues in this industry, today.


Regions that lead the market

China, USA and Brazil are some of the regions which boast of maximum consumption of suncare items. Latin America and the Asia-Pacific regions comprising India, Mexico and Indonesia are quickly following suite, where the markets have shown a steady growth.


Challenges in the suncare market

The suncare market has been suffering from slow growth in the markets of Western Europe and given that these are some of their largest marketplaces they are in urgent need of restoration. Industry experts have cited that the middle-class regional customers of this part of the world are reducing their number of vacations, when the consumption of suncare items significantly goes up. Studies also suggest that a key reason for reduced consumption is that brand loyalties in this segment have gone down and people are preferring cheaper items as well as utilizing lesser quantities of suncare items they buy. Manufacturers are now faced with the challenge of creating specialized, niche products but at reasonable prices.

Key Highlights

Rigid Plastics holds the biggest market share in the Spanish packaging industry because of its ability to mold to different needs of the CPG companies. Also, demand for light weighting packaging is helping it to replace other traditional packaging materials such as Glass and Rigid Metal in certain categories.

Unemployment rate specifically among youth in age bracket 16 - 24 has risen steadily as an impact of financial difficult times in the country. Rising unemployment has negatively impacted perception of Spaniards towards current economic situation, and increasing the role packaging plays in showing consumers that a product offers good value for money.

With one-sixth of the total population above the age of 65years, there is a greater need for packaging manufacturers to adapt to the specific set of age-related requirements such as easy-to-open, easy-to-close, easy-to-handle, and longer shelf life.

Packaging companies have shown a strong inclination towards lightweight packaging. Manufacturers are increasing efforts to lower cost by light weighting packs which reduces costs as well as meets regulatory compliance with respect to environmental challenges. For instance, the Spanish supermarket chain Mercadonahas introduced a new packaging in plastic triple packs for Ambient Fish & Seafood products, changing the industrys traditional anchovy packaging from a Metal Can to permeable plastic tri-pack.

Global hot drinks sector sees boost in consumer interest fuelling its growth

Maintaining annual growth of 20%, the global hot drinks industry is expected to reach about USD 81.5 billion whereas, in regards to volume, the industry is forecasted to expand at a yearly rate of 12% and reach about 6 billion kilograms by 2014. However, the market is still greatly fragmented with the three leading vendors holding a combined market share of less than 23%.

The report: Global Hot Drinks Market: Merger and Acquisitions April 2014 provides an insight into the deal activity of the global hot drinks market throughout the month. With the number of ongoing M&As the world’s coffee and tea markets are expected to reach almost USD 70 billion by 2015. Industry experts suggest that this market growth is propelled by heightened awareness about the health benefits of drinking tea, while coffee is being marketed as luxurious and stylish product. The coffee market has further benefitted from the rising global affluence, urbanization and greater per capita consumption. The emerging countries furthermore, promise of a vast growth potential.


Key segments of the market

Of all the beverages in the hot drinks market, coffee is the world’s most preferred beverage - analysts estimate an annual consumption of 400 billion cups of coffee. Moreover, recently, the consumption of these hot beverages has greatly risen in the public eye as a healthy lifestyle choice, and has eventually become a vital part in many consumer’s daily rituals. With consumption and trade developing in the emerging economies, the penetration of coffee is expected to continue, while the investments in production are to increase, although, the pricing will see a degree of fluctuation. Brazil continues to dominate the market with the country’s consumption having risen by 5%, which is more than double the global average increment of 2%. The consumption of coffee is increasing in emerging economies like India and China mainly due to the burgeoning of middle class and in the increasing number of young professionals in the world’s workforce. Besides, the rise in disposable income is propelling the coffee consumption further in markets like Russia, Middle East and Ukraine.

Despite the preference of coffee, tea continues to dominate the beverages market citing which the global sales are expected to be on an upward trend. The global market for tea was valued at USD 15 billion in 2013, and has risen considerably since then too. The increased awareness about the potential health risks associated with carbonated drinks has further acted as the key driving force behind the change in the consumption patterns. The green and herbal tea sub-segments therefore are seeing double-digit growth. Research has shown that tea also lowers the risks of chronic conditions such as certain health cancers, coronary heart disease and heart attacks. Since consumers are looking for alternative preventative measures through lifestyle choices, especially the diets they adopt and drinks they consume, it bodes well for the tea market. The global hot drinks market is expected to continue to grow in the upcoming years, driven by quality, increased health awareness and globalization which removes all previously existing regional constraints on purchase of products.
