Tube Packaging Market Dynamics and Trends

Growth of the flexible packaging industry

The growth of the flexible packaging industry is a major driver of the tube packaging market. According to the Flexible Packaging Association, the US flexible packaging revenue was around USD 31.8 billion in 2018, and the sales are projected to grow at a rate of 8.1% to reach USD 293.03 billion by 2022. Flexible packaging is the second largest packaging segment in the US, having a share of 19 % of the total packaging market valued at USD 170 billion. The industry is highly influenced by the economic growth of various industries such as cosmetics, toiletries, and pharmaceuticals. Flexible tubes are in demand due to their comfort of usage and usefulness. Consumers prefer flexible tubes for their high-end appearance and cost-effectivity and also lessen shelf space compared to bottles, and jars and it is easier to transport. Moreover, flexible tubes offer vital sustainability and appearance benefits to both manufacturers and consumers. Furthermore, the rising demand for cosmetics products is driving the growth of the tube packaging market. Growing demand for cosmetic products in developing countries and a boost in customer perception are encouraging manufacturers to produce innovative and handy packaging products.

The market for tubes faces competition from alternative packaging systems such as pouches, sachets, and packets. Tubes are a preferred choice when a substitute is unnecessary. They are mainly preferred when the product is a paste-like or thick liquid, whereas, in the case of liquid products, they are not preferred. Tubes are considered among the best options to pack products with paste-like consistency due to the ease of filling the content into the tubes and the facility to undergo all types of printing processes at a lower cost. Also, sustainable packaging is gaining popularity in the market. Manufacturers are thriving to eliminate the use of plastic packaging. In 2019, the University of Arts London post-graduate Mi Zhou developed a range of toiletry bottles that can melt away completely when no longer useful. The new innovative and sustainable packaging solutions act as a challenge for the tube packaging market.

Tube Packaging Market Segmentation Analysis

Plastic is dominating the global market owing to its superior functional benefits over other materials

By material, the plastic tubes segment held a significant share of the global tube market and is expected to grow at a steady rate over the forecast period. The dominance is due to its low cost, lightweight, flexibility, and durability among several other factors. In addition, it is odorless and offers a pleasant appearance. The usage of plastic tubes in various industries that include cosmetic and personal care, food, and pharmaceutical, among others, leads to fewer transportation costs and energy waste. This type of packaging also ensures product safety and prolongs shelf life. As convenience and hygiene are gaining importance across regions, the demand for plastic tubes is propelling, specifically in the cosmetic industry. The European Union (EU) and the American Chemical Council’s Plastics Division recently announced the target of 100% use of recyclable, reusable, and compostable plastics by 2025 and 2040 in their regions. These regulations are expected to shape the plastic tube packaging industry in the future. However, over the last decade, the environmental impacts of plastic have resulted in a slowdown of the segment.

Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the global tube packaging market during the forecast period

The population in Asia-Pacific is increasingly improving its lifestyle and living standards. This factor coupled with the rising trends in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products and awareness of health and hygiene is driving the market in the region. Apart from the demand for cosmetics demand, Asia-Pacific countries are significantly exporting cosmetic products to the US. According to the International Trade Administration, over 20% of U.S. cosmetic exports are via Asian countries. Moreover, the demand for healthcare and hygiene in the country is also high. In China with a population of 1.37 billion, oral disease has a large burden on the government healthcare system and is an even greater economic burden on individuals. Periodontal diseases are common in India as well. These factors have resulted in an increased demand for toothpaste and other oral care products that use tube packaging. Besides, China accounted for 52% of the world’s plastic scrap imports in 2018, according to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries. This emphasis on plastic recycling is also estimated to expand the plastic tube packaging sector, thereby, supporting the growth of tube packaging.
