2025 Global Packaging Trends, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines global and regional packaging dynamics using 2024 baseline data and forecasts to 2029 drawn from Euromonitor’s Passport database and industry surveys. Focus areas include sustainability and convenience, including material shifts toward rPET and alternatives; pack-type competition and regional growth, including PET bottles, metal beverage cans and flexible pouches; and regulatory and circular-economy drivers affecting design and recovery. The analysis indicates that emerging patterns tend to favor smaller formats, material substitution and premiumization in select categories, and charts highlight regional contrasts and benchmarked trajectories across markets. The report reveals where packaging leaders are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
