These emerging markets -with vast new potential consumer bases that are leading to an increase in mergers and acquisitions with companies keen to gain a foothold in these new markets. The paper packaging industry is witnessing unprecedented opportunity and growth. Ever increasing consumer demand, especially in North America, Europe and the new economic powerhouses of China and India, combined with an increased emphasis on recyclability due to the evolving regulation in the packaging industry, are driving the industry. Meanwhile, changes in lifestyle, demographics and consumer habits are constantly influencing paper packaging and its consumption.

As supermarkets and hypermarkets continue to flourish, it is becoming increasingly important for packaging manufacturers to differentiate their products and make them stand out on the crowded shelves. The advancements made in processing technologies have driven specialization within the industry, resulting in an ability to produce specialty products that effectively meet customer requirements. As paper grades and printing qualities steadfastly improve; paper packaging is able to diversify and meet customer needs aesthetically and in terms of functionality and convenience.

Changing global demographics are also a key driver for growth in the paper packaging industry. The increased lifespan and reduced birth rates in the developed markets are providing new packaging challenges for companies keen to expand their customer base by catering to the expanding over 60's generation.
