There is also a demand for authentic market data with a high level of detail. This report has been created to provide its readers with up-to-date information and analysis to uncover emerging opportunities of growth within the CPG market.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
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.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
The differential growth across different packaging materials and formats drive fundamental shifts in the market. These differentials result from various factors such as changing consumer preferences, regulatory compliance, and innovation within the packaging market.

Overview of the competitive landscape in France's packaging industry including key companies in each of the packaging material segments and major deals.

Key Highlights
Plastic packaging holds the largest share in the French packaging industry. The material's ability to produce lightweight packages for ease of handling, moulding into various shapes, speedy transportation, and reducing cost helps it to attain prominence.

Wine consumption in France declined during 2007–2012 and this trend is also expected to continue during 2012–2017. This decline is expected to considerably impact the demand for glass bottles, which are usually used for wine packaging. In addition, manufacturers are selling wine in pouches in order to reduce costs.

Convenient and healthier packaging for the elderly will increase in importance as France's population ages, while the recovering tourism industry will drive demand for traditional French products and, in turn, packaging.

Challenging macroeconomic trends with rising unemployment is driving customers to increasingly shop to a budget, cutting down on impulse purchases and encouraging them to look for value for money options.

Sustainability factors in packaging are under the spotlight. Measures to reduce packaging waste and carbon footprint whilst simultaneously increasing recyclability and reuse are being adopted. The Grenelle Law means the onus is on manufacturers to improve recyclability.
