1. Executive Summary

The South African packaging industry grew at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of xx.xx%

during 2007–2012 in terms of number of packs sold; consistent growth is expected during 2012–2017 as

well at a rate of xx.xx %.

South Africa has been undergoing significant changes in its demographic and macroeconomic structures.

This has led to the emergence of varying consumer segments and the evolution of consumption patterns

and buying behaviors. These variations are expected to drive long-term changes in the South African

retail packaging industry and thus necessitate the need for manufacturers and packaging converters to

stay abreast with these continual changes.

South Africa’s young population significantly impacts the retail packaging industry

A significant demographic trend impacting the South African retail packaging market has been the large

young population, which is resulting in the emergence of an important consumer segment. Products

specifically targeted at the young have been launched; packaging in particular attains special emphasis

with greater attention being paid to attractive packaging. Additionally, in the case of children, packaging

and its composition becomes an integral part of the product with the high safety value associated with it.

Single-serve packs are expected to increase in popularity with these consumer segments. The shrinking

household sizeis further expected to drive the demand for similar pack formats.

High unemployment and growing income disparity lead to the emergence of varied packaging

demands

The high unemployment rate currently prevalent in South Africa has led to a growing preference for value

for money products among South African consumers. As a result of this, manufacturers are required to

look for ways to reduce the packaging-to-product ratio and thereby provide low-cost products through the

use of cheaper packaging. The growing income disparity in South Africa is also expected to significantly

raise the demand for smaller and cheaper pack formats among the lower income segment, as these are

priced lower on retail shelves. On the other hand, consumers with higher incomes are showing a growing

preference for premium packaging with value additions such as enhanced convenience. Manufacturers

are thus expected to customize their offerings in line with these ongoing changes.

Growing preference for convenience and sustainability drive innovation in the South African

packaging industry

South African manufacturers, like their global counterparts, have been plagued by rising raw material and

energy costs. Nevertheless, they are required to constantly innovate in order to stand out among

competitors in the expanding South African consumer market. Packaging affords manufacturers an

avenue to differentiate their offerings without incurring substantial expenditure. A preferred method of

differentiation is through value additions such as in the form of enhanced convenience. Convenient

packaging or closure formats are increasingly being introduced in the South African market in an attempt

to gain popularity and thereby help expansion of the consumer base. An instance of this is the Ready Egg

range, launched by Free Range chicken Co., which incorporates eggs in a ready-to-use format and is

packaged in an HDPE bottle.

With rising environmental consciousness, manufacturers have been looking at reducing their reliance on

non-renewable resources, meeting the sustainability targets set, reducing the carbon footprint generated




and incorporating the use of biodegradable products in the manufacturing process. This renewed focus

on sustainability has been driving innovation in the South African packaging industry. An illustration of this

ongoing innovation is the aluminum foil-free pouch launched by Mars Africa for its Royco Soup brand,

which reduced the carbon footprint generated by as much as 25%.

Labeling attains greater significance in the South African packaging industry

Labeling has become an integral part of product packaging, with ongoing innovation in this segment.

Labeling has achieved greater applications as a result of advanced technologies, thereby diversifying the

label market and providing manufacturers with a range of choices depending upon the effect desired. For

instance, pressure-sensitive labels or self-adhesive labels do not require a secondary agent to make the

bond stronger and also do not wither away easily, withstanding different external pressures such as water

force. Other forms of labeling such as IML (in-mold labeling) are impregnated on the package itself and

thereby eliminate the problems of wrinkling or adhesion. In addition, manufacturers are increasingly

looking at technology upgrades as a manner of increasing the efficiency. Robotics in particular has

become a growing area of interest for manufacturers. An example of this is the incorporation of Triaflex

Delta Robots by Karan Beef in their production line.

2. Market Dynamics

2.1 Overview

Demand for packaging will continue to show strong growth in 2012–2017; the number of packs used in

South Africa increased at a CAGR of xx.xx % during 2007–2012, and is expected to increase at a CAGR

of xx.xx% during 2012–2017.

This section will explore the dynamics of the South African packaging market, reviewing the change

during 2007–2012 and forecasting how the market will evolve during 2012–2017. This is first covered at

an overall level, followed by more detailed analysis of the market material wise.

2.1.1 South Africa Packaging by Material

The total South African retail packaging market grew at a CAGR of xx.xx % during 2007–2012, reaching

a total of xx million packs in 2012. Flexible Packaging and Rigid Plastic together accounted for more than

half of the total packaging market in 2012 and will largely remain the same during 2017. In absolute

terms, Flexible Packaging and Rigid Plastic are expected to add xx and xx million packs respectively

between 2012 and 2017. Rigid Plastic will record the highest CAGR of xx.xx % among all major pack

materials during 2012–2017.

Overall


Rigid Plastics has the largest number of rapidly-growing sectors.

Within the South African packaging industry as a whole, Rigid Plastics is showing the highest overall

growth: the number of packs used in the Feminine Hygiene sector will record a CAGR in excess of

xx.xx% during 2007–2017, while the Make-Up, Beer & Cider, and Ice Cream sectors will see a CAGR in

the range of xx.xx%.

However, the total number of Paper & Board packs used in South Africa will decline in some sectors

during 2007-2017; sectors that will see the fastest CAGR decline include Fruit & Vegetables and

Cigarettes. The total number of Rigid Metal packs will also witness a CAGR decline in the range of

xx.xx% to xx.xx% driven mainly by the decline in Cigars, Cigarillos and Fruit & Vegetables.
