In 2022, Spain’s packaging landscape continued to see growth in plant-based dairy, with brick liquid cartons remaining the primary packaging type for these products due to their exceptional barrier properties. Emerging categories like plant-based cheese and yoghurt saw robust growth, with thin wall plastic containers, flexible plastic and flexible aluminium/paper showing promise.
Plant-based dairy packaging continued to grow in 2022, albeit at a slower rate than in previous years, with brick liquid cartons remaining the leading packaging type for plant-based dairy products. These cartons are favoured for their exceptional barrier properties, effectively safeguarding plant-based milk from oxygen and light exposure to maintain freshness.
After a year of growth during the pandemic in 2020, in 2021 there was a return to the declining trend in total packaging unit volumes for dairy products that was being seen prior to 2020, with this trend continuing in 2022. However, not all pack types saw declines.
Starting from January 2023, the Spanish government will levy a tax of EUR0.45 per kg on non-recycled plastic packaging.
With glass bottles the dominant pack type for alcoholic drinks in 2022, this positively impacts the closure share for screw-top closures. Beyond this reason, these closures are also popular because they provide a reliable and airtight seal, helping to preserve the freshness and quality of the product.
Post-pandemic, there has been increased awareness of taking care of the body and mind in Spain. As taking good care of the skin and maintaining its health is often seen as a self-care routine, 2022 saw continued strong growth in sales of skin care products, which has increased the demand for pack types like HDPE bottles, folding cartons and flexible plastic, which are among the most popular pack types in the category.
Liquid detergent tablets within laundry care – the largest home care category in Spain – continued to record positive growth in 2022, which benefited the packaging unit volume sales of its main pack type – other rigid containers. Liquid detergent tablets are increasingly being preferred by Spanish consumers due to the convenience they offer.
