Consumer trends and their influence on packaging
Understanding consumer trends and insights is vital for packaging suppliers, brand owners and
manufacturers, in order to:
• Help to identify relevant packaging opportunities to meet consumer needs and challenges
• Help guide packaging machine investment strategy
• Help guide food and beverage manufacturers in their machine and packing investment strategy
• Influence and develop strategic business partnerships and collaboration between packaging
suppliers, brand owners and food and beverage manufacturers
• Influence Research & Development (R&D) project investment into new forms of packaging

The future of the packaging market – an overview
• The consumer packaging market is a relatively strong market as it is able to benefit from the rise
in demand for consumer goods worldwide.
• As long as the global economy continues to grow the packaging market will also continue to
grow.
• It is important that the packaging market grows in order for packaging innovation to develop to
meet consumer needs. Understanding consumer trends and insights will become ever more
popular to identify specific consumer packaging opportunities.
• A growing packaging market will also mean manufacturers will be able to invest in developing
new packaging materials and designs to meet the needs of the changing consumer.
• More advanced packaging materials will be used in packaging such as nanotechnology and
smart-packaging.
• Packaging solutions will need to continually adapt to meet changing consumer needs and
challenges. A greater focus will be on sustainability, recycling and added-value packaging that
bring tangible benefits to the consumer.
• Technically smart packaging will be an important growth sector in packaging, together with
innovative design that will be central to moving the industry forward.

An overview of social trends and consumer trends
• Success within the consumer goods market is heavily reliant on delivering what the consumer
wants, when the consumer wants it, where and how the consumer wants it.
• Social trends are important to capture the bigger picture trends that ultimately describe human
behaviour.
• Identifying consumer trends and analysing these unique insights will provide us with structure,
clarity and perspective in understanding consumer behaviour.
• Understanding consumer trends and the packaging opportunities that these create will not only
help shape the future of packaging, but will help packaging and confectionery manufacturers
develop investment strategies for packaging solutions.

Individualism and expression
OPPORTUNITIES
• Develop innovative products that are aimed at those consumers who have allergies or
intolerances towards specific ingredients i.e. gluten-free alternatives that meet the health and
lifestyle needs of consumers.
• Personalise products so that they that are aimed at a specific target audience i.e. Occasion
specific, demographic specific, need specific or attitude specific.

Smart and connected
OPPORTUNITITIES
• Social networking is being used more and more by consumers to share thoughts, opinions, and
publishing textual, audio / visual content (influencing anything from product name to package
design).
• Consumers adopt the mentality that technology will make their lives easier and more
comfortable. Therefore emphasising these benefits in association with new products and
services will increase the chances of success.
• The increase in smart shoppers, will mean opportunities will increase for manufacturers to
better interact and stimulate consumer demand.

Notas do Editor
In 2012 the Global Consumer Packaging industry was valued at approx. US$431bn. In 2013 the market grew to US$441, in 2014 the market grew to US$453bn. Big Business.
This market is expected to grow by between 2.5% and 3% in 2015 due to the increase in the global demographic changes and the rising demand for processed food is resulting in more packaging being used.
Increase in global population – World population in 2010 was 6.9 billion and is forecast to rise to 7.7 billion by 2020
The number of people worldwide aged over 60 in 2012 was 810 million this is forecast to increase to over 2 billion by 2050 according to UN thematic think piece on population demographics FURTHER FACTS REQUIRED
Packaging plays an essential role in the production, preservation, distribution and marketing of manufactured consumer goods and other products.
We can use the 3 P’s of packaging – Preserves, Protects and Promotes
Whether it be directly or indirectly consumers will have an influence on all of these packaging types.
Primary packaging – Primary packaging is packaging that constitutes a sales unit to the final user or consumer at the point of purchase.
Secondary packaging – Secondary packaging is packaging constitutes, at the point of purchase, a grouping of a certain number of sales units, whether the latter is sold as such to the final user, or consumer or whether it serves only as a means to replenish the shelves at the point of sale. It can be removed from the product without affecting its characteristics.
Tertiary packaging – Packaging designed to facilitate handling and transport of a number of sales units or grouped packaging in order to prevent physical handling and transport damage. Transport packaging does not include road, rail, ship and air containers.
Important for solid growth in the packaging market so that this underpins what could be expensive R&D Programs in the future for packaging solutions
Demographers come up with some pretty weird and wonderful ways of describing our behavours in our every day lives don’t they!
In May 2014, Oreo launched a social media campaign designed to engage Chinese families. The US based cookie brand unveiled a branded WeChat experience enabling people to create and share fun personalised emojis (ideograms or smileys) featuring their own faces – or those of friends or family members.
At Oreo Bus stations across the country consumers could project their emojiis onto big screens or print out personalised stickers. Promotional Oreo wrappers also allowed customers to unlock further emoji related content.
As part of the effort to rejuvenate tourism in northern Japan after the 2011 tsunami, the Sanriku Railway network teamed up with Nestlé to allow customers to pay their fares with special KitKat candy bar wrappers.
The initiative was developed after Nestlé discovered that the railway's reconstruction team had received KitKat bars from the public as a form of encouragement. The promotion launched in June 2014, with tickets valid until May 2015.

2015 UK The Grown Up Chocolate Company
Targeted exclusively at adults, this firm's "grown up" chocolate bars claim to be "reminiscent of the chocolate bars we ate as children but with an adult twist.¹" The brand creatively capitalizes on Datamonitor Consumer's Retrophillia sub-trend but with a quirky modern angle: all product packaging features images of kids with the tagline "Nice try kid, but it's not for you.¹"

Japanese design agency TO-GENKYO has designed an innovative hourglass shaped label for packaged meat which uses a special ink that changes colour as ammonia is released inside the package. As the meat ages, it releases increasing amounts of the substance, obscuring the barcode at the bottom. Customers can quickly see if the meat is going bad – and when the barcode becomes completely covered, it can’t be scanned.
