As consumer product demand evolves the dynamics between different packaging types also evolves - favouring some packaging types and formats, and leaving others increasingly out of line with demand patterns. As a result, understanding the shifting market dynamics is key to ensuring maximum sales in the future.

Key Highlights
Rigid plastics have been growing rapidly in key markets such as Soft Drinks and Hot Drinks. The advantages of plastic seem to still outweigh the challenges the material faces in the form of environmental concerns and costs.

The aging population and smaller households will enhance the need for packaging designs enhancing convenience and smaller pack sizes in order to reduce the need for storage of large volumes of consumables.

The highly pragmatic Chinese consumer accounts for the highest household savings in the world and discern value-for-money products. Canadean's survey shows that 21% of the total consumer market sales were made due to the value for money proposition that the product offered compared to competing products.

The expanding middle class with increasingly disposable income is boosting demand for aspirational products. Canadean's 2012 consumer survey shows that 4.29 %of the total consumer market sales were made by aspirational consumer trends.

Retailers and 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. Coca-Cola China has recently adopted Bericap closures that offer 15% savings in the use of resin.
