Personal Care Packaging Market Assessment

Personal Care Market Research Study

The personal care packaging industry in North America is estimated to be a $70 billion to $80 billion market in 2010. Plastic is the most popular packaging material at present, as well as for the foreseeable future, and currently constitutes nearly 60 percent of the primary packaging market share. Plastic is also expected to dramatically outpace all other packaging material types in future growth, with a 34 percent growth rate by 2015.

Tubes and pouches are expected to grow faster than bottles as primary packaging materials over the next five years. Both tubes and pouches are seen as having a smaller environmental footprint than bottles. Tubes were also noted for easy use and enabling consumption of a greater percentage of the product packaged.

Roughly 60 to 65 percent of personal care products used in the United States are produced in this country. While many factors were suggested that could increase or decrease this percentage, this amount is expected to stay fairly consistent for the foreseeable future.
