Synthèse
Since 2020, the global plastic packaging market has undergone significant change. In 2021, despite the impact of the pandemic on various sectors such as cosmetics, the French plastic packaging market grew in the second quarter, with a marked increase in the cosmetics packaging segment. The medical and pharmaceutical segment also stabilized, following a sharp rise during the health crisis. Food packaging remained stable, underlining the role of plastic packaging as an essential component in all industries.
Globally, the market was valued at $355 billion in 2021, with forecasts of a 4.2% CAGR leading to a value of $550.1 billion by 2030. The Asia-Pacific region dominated the market, with a share of over 43.1% in 2021. Regulatory changes, environmental concerns and consumer preferences for eco-friendly solutions are reshaping the market, as evidenced by European and French laws banning or restricting certain types of plastic packaging and setting recycling targets.
Consumer trends in France also point to a growing demand for sustainable packaging options. Although the market faced challenges with the advent of COVID-19, production rebounded strongly, reaching sales of 9.79 billion euros in 2022. Despite growth, the market has experienced a degree of concentration, with the number of companies falling to 555 by 2022, and employment in the sector declining.
France's trade balance also remains in deficit, with a coverage ratio down 7.5 points between 2021 and 2022, due to imports outstripping exports. Regulations and consumer sentiment are driving the industry towards more sustainable practices, including recycling, the use of natural or recycled materials, and general green behavior in consumption patterns.
Changing consumer preferences and the rise of eco-design in the French plastic packaging market
In recent years, the French plastic packaging market has been characterized by a dynamic interplay between traditional demand for versatile, cost-effective packaging solutions and consumers' growing preference for sustainable, eco-friendly options. With a marked shift towards environmental awareness, French consumers have voiced their concerns about plastic pollution. This is reflected in their approach to purchasing habits, with a significant proportion of consumers prepared to pay a little more for products with environmentally-friendly packaging. Trends in the French market reflect this change: cosmetics packaging has seen an unexpected surge in demand after the drop recorded during the pandemic, while necessities such as medical and pharmaceutical packaging are stabilizing, and food packaging continues to see sustained activity.
Although the presence of other European manufacturers poses a competitive threat, the French market has shown resilience and growth, with a notable rebound in the second quarter of 2021. The importance of the food industry cannot be overstated, as it accounts for over half of all plastic packaging sales, indicating its massive influence on the market. What's more, overall growth in France, although slower than in Europe, rebounded significantly after the pandemic crisis, with sales reaching between 9 and 10 billion euros in 2022. Consumer behavior has shifted strongly towards products with recyclable packaging, a trend reflected in their active participation in waste sorting, with a remarkable 90% of survey participants indicating that they regularly engage in recycling activities.
The regulatory environment is also undergoing a transformation, with stringent EU and national laws aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting recycling. This growing regulatory pressure and consumer demand for greener products present both challenges and opportunities for manufacturers in the French market. Faced with changing market dynamics, the French plastic packaging sector has seen a notable concentration of players, with a decrease in the number of companies but a growing dominance of large groups. This consolidation is driven by the need to invest significantly in production technologies and achieve economies of scale.
The plastic packaging industry is also influenced by the different production methods available, such as injection molding, thermoforming and extrusion. Manufacturers have to strike a balance between product complexity, production scale and profitability, which is further complicated by price volatility due to external factors such as the conflict in Ukraine, which has led to an inflationary situation.
In conclusion, the French plastic packaging market is undergoing a significant evolution, with demand trends leaning towards sustainability, a consolidating market structure, and manufacturers facing both regulatory and consumer pressure to innovate.

1 Market overview
1.1 Overview of the plastic packaging market
Plastic packaging is ubiquitous in the retail sector, and is used to display, preserve and transport consumer products such as cosmetics, food products (fruit and vegetables, meat, etc.) and cleaning products.
As with cardboard packaging, which is expanding mainly thanks to e-commerce, plastic packaging has also become indispensable, thanks to its versatility, which enables us to produce packaging of varying rigidity, transparency and complexity.
In 2021, French plastic packaging manufacturers finally returned to growth in the second quarter.
The cosmetics packaging segment posted the strongest growth. The fact that the majority of manufacturers are reporting a jump or stabilization in their activity is unexpected (but we'll explain why later in the study), given that the pandemic caused a sharp decline in the cosmetics market, and in make-up in particular. The trend now seems to be reversing, as the prospect of further confinements recedes.
Two-thirds of plastic medical and pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers reported stable business in the second quarter of 2021 compared with the previous quarter. 29% of players saw their business increase, and only 4% reported a decrease. After exploding during the health crisis, demand for medical and pharmaceutical packaging finally appears to be stabilizing.
Manufacturers of plastic food packaging, for their part, reported more stable business than in other segments. in fact, 62% of them feel that their business has remained stable compared with the first quarter of 2021, compared with 31% who report an increase. Only 7% are experiencing a slowdown in business.
However, the sector is relatively fragile in France, given the presence of German, Italian and Spanish plastic packaging manufacturers. Over the past 10 years, this has led to a significant concentration of players in the sector, with a dozen or so major groups now controlling most of the market.
However, new growth drivers exist for smaller players, as French consumer habits are tending to evolve towards greater consideration of eco-design for packaging. With European environmental regulations, this is a major challenge for a sector that absolutely must develop more environmentally-friendly plastic packaging.
