Printed food packaging is used for the primary packs of foods and beverages that are supplied direct to consumers. According to a new report from Smithers Pira on The Future of Printing for Food Packaging to 2023, in 2018 the global market for printed primary food packaging is $227.2 billion and 79.4 million tonnes, with a printed area of 394.6 billion square metres.The market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 3.6% from 2018 to 2023, with the global market reaching a value of $271.3 billion, equating to 95 million tonnes and a printed area of 472.4 billion square metres by 2023.
A range of both technology- and consumer-related trends will drive this forecast market growth. Four of the key trends identified by Smithers Pira’s research are discussed below.
Lightweighting
The food and packaging industries are, where possible, reducing the weight of packaging – to make cost savings from reductions in material requirements and lower transportation costs. All packaging materials are affected, particularly the inherently heavier glass and metal packaging formats. Continuing developments in the designs of flexible packaging pouches are extending their use for a wider range of foods and drinks to replace heavier glass, rigid plastic or metal packaging.
Lighter weight PET bottles are increasingly being used for beers and non-alcoholic drinks in place of metal cans and glass bottles. The shift to flexible and rigid plastic packaging for an increased number of food and drink products has gradually eroded metal packaging demand over the last five years, with this trend expected to continue up to 2023. In turn, there are implications for providers of printing inks, and compatibility with food-safe practices.
