The French consumer market is quite large, and food and wine are known around the world. Driven by this, the French packaging market has also become one of the largest markets in the industry. As a mature market, big customers expect it to maintain steady growth, but the increasing demand for environmentally-friendly packaging and changes in the packaging of glass wine bottles pose new challenges to the packaging industry.
High concentration of glass packaging market
The development status of the French packaging industry varies. Among them, paper and cardboard packaging is highly dispersed, plastic packaging has a moderate degree of dispersion, and glass bottle packaging is highly concentrated. There are only 9 glass packaging manufacturers on the market. Due to the lack of attractiveness in the market, the threshold for entering glass bottle packaging is high.
In the past few years, the French wine market has declined and the industry has suffered considerable losses. Wine producers have already taken measures to overcome the crisis, but they still cannot stop the trend of further decline in the market. As the main end-user of glass bottle packaging, the economic losses of the French wine industry have also had a negative impact on the country's glass bottle packaging industry.
Food and wine promotes the maturity of the packaging industry
The gross domestic product of GDP in France ranks among the top in the world. Its domestic consumer demand is large in scale and high in level. The packaging market has thus become one of the largest, most attractive and mature markets in the world. In France, which is famous for its wine and food, major end-uses such as food processing, tourism and wine have naturally promoted the development of the packaging industry. Therefore, ICD Research expects that the French packaging industry will see a steady and slow growth from 2010 to 2015.
Among them, paper and cardboard packaging has matured, so growth during the forecast period 2010-2015 will slow down, while glass bottle packaging has been negative growth in the past few years. The only packaging category that is growing is hard plastic and soft plastic packaging.
Packaging machinery gap 2/3
France ranks top in the world in foreign trade. In 2009, the country’s exports ranked sixth and imports ranked fifth. The main trade partners of its packaging industry are Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands and the United States.
France needs sophisticated packaging equipment to meet the requirements of high-end packaging solutions. The main end-user markets for these devices are foods, beverages and drugs. French producers can only meet one-third of the domestic demand for packaging, and other gaps are met with imports from Germany, Italy, the United States, and Canada.
Green packaging pressure increases
The huge demand for various environmentally friendly packaging has also affected the industry. Due to the application of new materials and the diversification of product sizes, consumer packaging has undergone dramatic changes. The biggest change is the rapid emergence of sustainable production and biodegradable products. People pay more attention to environmental protection and stricter legislation. This affects the packaging options of end-users. French packaging manufacturers have also increased the proportion of recyclable components.
With the increasing emphasis on environmentally-friendly packaging and the changing concept of users in the wine industry, especially the market attitude that will turn to sooner or later, whether all this will trigger a major change in the market or lead to turbulence in a certain period of time, it remains to be seen. .
