Food Packaging to Hold the Highest Market Share

The contract packaging industry serves diverse functions, furnishing solutions for FMCG across nearly every consumer sector, with the food industry being a major beneficiary. As a result, the packaging reflects a range of influences, from personal consumer preferences to larger economic forces, like free-market competition and mass marketing.
However, major food companies across the world are closing their facilities to reduce their capital expenditure. The food companies in Europe are under a lot of pressure to free cash and reduce costs, both of which can be done by co-manufacturing. A lot of consumer-packaged goods companies are expected to liberate operating cash to fund growth by outsourcing the responsibility of running manufacturing facilities across Europe.
The growth of the co-manufacturing market in food is inhibited due to the high reputational risk, as leading brands are unwilling to accept that they use the services of third-party manufacturers due to very high-quality concerns pertaining to food and beverages in the region.
However, some of the countries in the region, like the United Kingdom, are experiencing major growth in the use of co-packaging services in food, with the need for comprehensive solutions continually rising. Codex, a major contract manufacturer of the United Kingdom, recently invested GBP 2 million into its business to establish clean rooms and machinery to serve some of the leading confectioners in the region. The need for turnkey solutions, where some of the vendors have expressed the need for end-to-end solutions has led to co-packers, like Codex, establishing fully racked-out warehouse and distribution capabilities.
In collaboration with NOMI Co-Packing, Tony’s Chocolonely recently developed a paper doypack, especially for the bitesize Tiny Tony’s. The employment of Nomi packaging has ensured that Tony’s has to customize its packaging offerings, in the process of creating distinctive packaging for airport shops and out of home retail.
