This is already having an impact on the demand for bags and sacks. The consumption of plastic carrier bags continues to decline; in many market segments, the trend is towards paper. Ceresana has now analyzed the entire European market for bags, sacks, and pouches made of polyethylene film<\/a>, films made of other plastics, woven plastic strips (woven bags), and paper for the fifth time. In addition to market data, forecasts, and company profiles, the new market report also provides background information on the regulatory framework in the EU as well as the economic situation and the situation in the packaging and construction industry in the individual European countries. This includes information on market size, recycling rates, and major companies in the packaging industry.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][image_with_animation image_url=”11519″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Paper Instead of Polyethylene?<\/h2>\n

Many retail chains are now doing away with single-use plastic sacks and promoting reusable shopping bags. In supermarkets, loose fruit and vegetables are increasingly being packaged in small paper bags instead of thin plastic t-shirt bags. This is one reason for the declining consumption of bags, sacks, and pouches made of polyethylene (PE)<\/a>. In contrast, demand for pouch packaging made from other films is recording growth, for example because the plastic grades BOPP and BOPET have special properties. At the same time, the consumption of garbage bags is also increasing slightly because fewer and fewer plastic carrier bags are finding a second use as bin liners. However, market researchers at Ceresana expect the amount of household waste to fall in most European countries over the next few years \u2013 and with it the demand for waste bags made of paper or bioplastics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trend Towards Specialization and Customization<\/h2>\n

Around 7.8 million tonnes of bags are currently produced in Europe every year. Production is highest in T\u00fcrkiye. Smart packaging, for example with sensors for temperature monitoring or interactive elements such as QR codes, artificial intelligence, digitalized production processes, and robotics are increasingly making it possible to tailor packaging to individual customer requirements, for example through flexible designs, small print runs, or target group-specific campaigns. In the context of the circular economy and bio-economy, recyclable, reusable, or bio-based packaging<\/a> is becoming increasingly important. According to Ceresana\u2019s market analysis, stand-up pouches continue to expand their market share: Food<\/a>, hygiene, and personal care products<\/a>, as well as pet food, are products that are increasingly being packaged in stand-up pouches. The demand for heavy-duty and industrial bags, such as big bags (FIBC: flexible intermediate bulk containers), is particularly dependent on the construction industry and the demand for building materials.<\/p>\n

Current European Market Analysis \u201cBags, Sacks, and Pouches\u201d:<\/h3>\n

Chapter 1<\/strong> offers an overview of the European market for bags, sacks, and pouches, including growth forecasts until 2033. Data on production<\/strong> and demand<\/strong> volumes as well as on the individual material types<\/strong> and application areas<\/strong> are listed in clear tables and figures.<\/p>\n

In chapter 2<\/strong>, production<\/strong> (split by plastics and paper), demand<\/strong> (split by polyethylene, other plastic films, woven plastics, and paper) as well as imports<\/strong> and exports<\/strong> (split by plastics and paper) are analyzed for 22 individual countries<\/strong>. In addition, detailed information on the demand for bags, sacks, and pouches is provided for the eight most important markets in Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, T\u00fcrkiye, United Kingdom) and broken down into individual application areas. The production of bags for these countries is broken down by material (polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE), other plastics, woven plastics, and paper).<\/p>\n

These applications<\/strong> are examined in detail for plastics and paper:<\/p>\n
