This Irish Packaging sector report is part of OCO Consulting’s new Industrial Series of reports. A large and important industry in Ireland, the packaging sector is unique in that the end products can then be used in all industries, including food and drink, personal care, pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
The report aims to provide an accurate and concise overview of the key trends in the packaging market over the last 4-5 years and to highlight the major factors that are impacting on it’s performance.
The retail sector and end-consumer in general dominate the packaging industries, particularly in the food and drink sectors. The establishment of Ireland as a manufacturing location for Europe by many large IT, software, pharmaceutical, healthcare and electronics companies has led to unprecedented opportunities for the Irish packaging industry.
Several parts of the industry have come under scrutiny over recent years as, in the past, packaging was deemed one of the greatest single contributors to the rubbish crisis, mainly due to copious amounts of non-biodegradable packaging. This has pressured the industry into areas of new product development and the use and promotion of biodegradable/recyclable properties in various materials.
This is one of the key drivers of the industry, in addition to the general economic performance of Ireland, north and south, changing consumer demands and product innovation.
