Change factors are numerous in the Packaging sector and drive innovation:
● Increasingly strict regulations, e.g. food contact, chemical products, traceability...
● Environment friendliness: lighter, biodegradable, recyclable materials
● New technologies: printing techniques, design softwares, new materials including nanotechnologies, smart Packaging with RFID or DataMatrix code
● Population trends: increased ergonomic requirements for older people,single-serve Packaging for individual consumption.
As far as machinery is concerned, the trend is towards a market segmentation between high-performance machines for long-run production requiring qualified high-cost labour, and more standard machines (mechanical systems are back; less electronics) for SMEs and developing markets. The Packaging industry also takes action for environmental protection via its expenses, i.e. € 41.7 million in 2006, essentially devoted to investments downstream from the production process.
