Growth Drivers
Growing Urbanization and Increase in Health-Conscious Consumers across the Globe
The growing number of individuals shifting to urban areas in search of livelihood has been increasing rapidly over the past few decades. Countries such as India and China in the Asia Pacific region have witnessed a rapid growth in urban population, owing to presence of better opportunities for earning a livelihood and lack of adequate jobs in the rural areas. The United Nations has predicted that the level of urbanization in Asia is close to 50 percent in 2018, with India projected to add about 416 million dwellers and China and Nigeria projected to add about 255 million and 189 million urban dwellers by 2050. The preferences of consumers to opt for consuming packaged milk is higher among the urban population. Further, International Dairy Federation has mentioned that Dairy Foods contain calcium, vitamins and high quality protein. Apart from that, the people are aware of the benefits that packaged milk provides which can help in better bone and dental health. It also states that increased dairy consumption can protect against obesity and weight gain and also helps to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and related cardiovascular disease. These factors are anticipated to raise the demand for packaged milk and are estimated to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Rising Preference for Easy to Carry Packaging and Increased Shelf Life of Product
The growing interest among consumers to purchase and consume easy and conveniently packaged products is driving the demand for milk packaging around the world. The demand among the consumers for milk and milk products with longer shelf life has encouraged development of new processes and packaging in the cold chain distribution. These factors are anticipated to drive the demand for milk packaging among the consumers globally and contribute to the growth of the market over the forecast period.
Our-in depth analysis of the global milk packaging market includes the following segments:
By Packaging
By Material
By Region
On the basis of regional analysis, the global milk packaging market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.
The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to register a significant growth rate, owing to rise in the consumption of milk in the region, especially in countries such as China and India having the presence of a huge population. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), India is the largest producer of milk in the world, contributing about 21 percent of global production. The milk output increased by 3.9 percent since 2017 to 346.9 million tonnes in Asia. Additionally, milk production in India had grown by 5.6 percent in 2018. Moreover, rapid urbanization and a comparatively higher rate of milk consumption observed in Asian nations such as India is anticipated to raise the demand for milk packaging especially among the urban population in the region. The markets in Europe and the North America, especially the United States of America are anticipated to grow steadily, since both the regions are already key exporters of dairy products such as milk and other processed dairy products. According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the share of global exports of dairy products in the European Union is projected to rise from 27 percent to 29 percent over the period 2018-2027.
The global milk packaging market is further classified on the basis of region as follows:
April 2019: Amcor PLC had designed containers exclusively for Letti, a leading dairy brand based in Brazil which adopted one-litre PET bottles for its Lettico A2 fermented milk products.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
