In 2023, several major trends were impacting the packaging industry in Australia. This includes aligning solutions with the increasing emphasis on sustainable packaging materials, waste reduction and convenience.
In 2023, one of the key trends shaping the packaging industry was the increased focus on waste reduction in packaging, aligning with the increasing importance of sustainability in packaging. As environmental concerns become increasingly pressing, companies are re-evaluating their packaging strategies to minimise waste at every stage of the supply chain.
Glass bottles were gaining unit volume share in the packaging of anti-agers, facial care, foundation/concealer and fragrances in Australia in 2023. The shift towards glass packaging was largely being driven by the premium and eco-friendly perception associated with glass.
In 2023, metal aerosol cans continued to be the most widely-used packaging format for air care and home insecticides in Australia, driven by the country’s unique climatic conditions and consumer preferences. Australia's hot and humid climate necessitates robust packaging that can protect product integrity against temperature fluctuations and humidity.
In Australia, there is a preference for larger packaging sizes in fresh milk, with 1,000ml to the fore, but 2,000ml and 3,000ml also popular. This trend was boosted by changing consumer behaviour during the pandemic.
Metal food cans remain a major pack type for wet cat food packaging in Australia due to a combination of practical, economic and environmental factors. The impermeable nature of metal provides an effective barrier against moisture, preventing contamination and maintaining the freshness and nutritional integrity of the cat food.
Despite the dominance of glass bottles, metal beverage cans are gaining traction in the total packaging retail volumes of imported lager in Australia, and also account for almost half of packaging volumes in domestic lager, driven by a blend of convenience, portability and environmental considerations. The demand for metal cans reflects Australians’ love of active, outdoor-orientated lifestyles, often favouring packaging that is lightweight, durable and easy to transport.
