E-commerce, smart packaging and industry 4.0: the future is now!
Just a few days before ALL4PACK Paris 2016 gets underway from 14 to 17 November in Paris-Nord Villepinte, the ALL4PACK Observatory presents the findings of its 11th edition. In 2016, for the third year in a row, indicators are all go and indicate promising development prospects for the sector, which continues to be strongly driven by the e-commerce boom. This year, three key trends emerge: the emergence of design as a leading innovation lever; “made in France” approved of by 82% of packaging purchasers; and smart packaging, deemed an important development lever by industry professionals.
These takeaways will be clearly illustrated by the 1,500 French and international exhibitors and during the many debates and talks organised at ALL4PACK Paris.
POSITIVE INDICATORS FOR THE THIRD YEAR RUNNING
– 63% of brands which buy packaging and 62% of packaging manufacturers forecast a medium-term increase in their production;
– 70% of packaging buyers are confident that the price of packaging will remain stable;
– 85% of manufacturers envisage a stable/upwards development in their operating margins. This view is shared by 86% of machinery and equipment manufacturers who, despite having less production visibility, are counting on exports to North African countries and North America.
