簡介目錄

歐洲軟包裝市場預計到 2026 年價值將達到 840.3 億美元,高於 2025 年的 816.2 億美元。預計到 2031 年將達到 972 億美元,2026 年至 2031 年的複合年成長率為 2.95%。

歐洲軟包裝市場-IMG1

這一成長趨勢主要受歐盟更嚴格的回收法規、不斷成長的電子商務包裹量以及消費者對保存期限長的便捷食品日益成長的需求所驅動。隨著《包裝和包裝廢棄物法規》(PPWR) 推動到2030年實現30%的再生塑膠含量,單一材料薄膜的創新正在加速,而可生物分解材料的選擇也在小規模擴張。品牌所有者繼續轉向輕包裝袋以降低物流成本,但由於薄膜和包裝紙在食品和工業產品線中的廣泛應用,它們仍然佔據銷售主導地位。市場競爭適中,前七大供應商的銷售額僅佔約四分之一,這為區域性專業企業在阻隔技術和數位印刷領域抓住利基市場機會創造了空間。

歐洲軟包裝市場趨勢與洞察

歐盟循環經濟目標推動對可再生單一材料薄膜的需求激增

包裝廢棄物指令 (PPWR) 要求到 2030 年,在歐洲銷售的所有包裝都必須可回收利用,這迫使加工商將多層結構重新設計為可機械回收的單一材料形式。雀巢公司報告稱,其用於寵物食品的聚丙烯殺菌袋的碳足跡減少了 60%,而 Cycaflex 計劃在 2025 年推出一系列完全可回收的產品,這些產品均採用消費後回收材料。由於紙張不受再生材料含量強制規定的約束,因此紙基替代品(例如科勒紙業的 NexPlus Barrier 系列)正日益受到青睞。為了彌補多層結構性能的下降,供應商正在測試無機塗層,例如 ORMOCER,它可以將聚丙烯基材上的氧氣透過率降低 95%。對不可可再生材料徵收生產者延伸責任成本加快了這一進程。

電子商務的快速成長推動了對軟性郵件包裝和保護的需求。

在許多歐盟市場,線上零售持續保持兩位數成長,推動了輕質郵寄袋和保護膜的普及,從而降低了每個小包裹的運輸成本。像HP Indigo 200K這樣的數位印刷機能夠實現個性化的包裝圖案,用於季節性和區域性促銷活動,並且與柔版印刷機相比,減少了設置廢棄物。 Uteco的混合平台Sapphire Aqua採用符合食品接觸法規的低遷移水性油墨,以1200 x 1200 dpi的解析度和150米/分鐘的速度進行列印。中小電商企業擴大將履約外包,並透過間接經銷商進行出貨,這些分銷商更傾向於使用與自動化包裝線相容的軟性包裝形式。

歐盟更嚴格的塑膠和包裝廢棄物法規增加了合規成本。

中小型加工商被迫在可回收性認證、再生樹脂整合和圖形重新設計方面投入巨資,以滿足統一的標籤標準。不合規包裝的生產者延伸責任(EPR)費用可能使交付成本增加50%以上,在新的生產線投入運作之前,利潤空間將被壓縮。 2026年生效的PFAS禁令將迫使食品包裝以防油塗層進行配方調整,而2028年生效的標籤規則將促使數千個SKU的圖案設計改變。

細分市場分析

到2025年,塑膠將佔歐洲軟包裝市場61.88%的佔有率,主要得益於聚乙烯在食品和電商領域的成本績效優勢。儘管石油基材仍主導,但隨著品牌商追求生產者延伸責任(PPWR)合規性,歐洲軟包裝市場對生物基和可堆肥薄膜的興趣日益濃厚,複合年成長率(CAGR)達到5.66%。紙張和紙板不受再生材料含量強制規定的約束,科勒紙業等供應商正在取得進展,其阻隔塗層等級的再生材料含量已達81.5%。金屬化結構在醫藥和高階食品應用領域仍然很受歡迎,因為這些領域對絕對阻隔性很高,但由於其小眾需求,受市場波動的影響較小。 PET的化學回收(包括解聚成與原生材料相當的原料)旨在確保到2027年食品級樹脂的穩定供應,這可能是PET在日益嚴格的回收目標下穩定市場地位的關鍵里程碑。

歐洲軟包裝市場目前正在測試一種混合複合材料,將傳統的聚烯層與可生物分解塗層​​結合。這種材料能夠加速污垢分解,同時在整個保存期限內保持密封完整性。雖然雙向拉伸聚丙烯(BOPP)仍然是透明零食薄膜的主要材料,但聚丙烯(CPP)因其優異的密封性能而成為蒸餾罐蓋的首選材料。儘管生質塑膠目前僅佔總產量的一小部分,但它們正從可堆肥購物袋發展成為由聚乳酸(PLA)、聚丁二烯丙基三丙烯酸酯(PBAT)和澱粉混合物製成的高阻隔結構。加工商預測,在2028年或之後,隨著相關法規的推出以推動需求和原料規模化生產,生物塑膠的成本競爭力將難以與化石基材料相提並論。

到2025年,薄膜和包裝膜將佔歐洲軟包裝市場43.92%的佔有率,主要面向烘焙產品、起司和工業零件等大眾消費品類別。然而,在適應便利消費生活方式的產品(例如可蒸餾的蒸餾食品包裝和微波爐即食食品)的推動下,軟包裝袋市場將持續成長,到2031年將維持6.55%的複合年成長率。自立式包裝形式能更好地利用貨架空間,提升品牌知名度,因此更受零售商青睞。雀巢的可回收高溫殺菌殺菌袋展示了其如何在保持性能的同時,與傳統包裝相比減少60%的碳足跡(《包裝摘要》)。

在農作物種子、肥料和DIY市場,由於重量限制,薄壁包裝的應用受到限制,因此軟包裝袋仍佔據主導地位。數位印刷技術的廣泛應用使得加工商能夠為5000件以下的小批量產品提供SKU級別的客製化服務,這鼓勵了小眾高階品牌在其產品生命週期的早期階段就採用軟包裝袋,而不會影響單位經濟效益。外包裝和收縮膜套標作為防篡改解決方案在飲料和製藥行業仍然十分重要,但其可回收性正受到越來越多的關注。歐洲PET塑膠擁有率的兩位數成長進一步推動了對殺菌袋袋和立式袋能夠確保產品的保鮮度和香氣。

簡介目錄
Product Code: 55505

Europe flexible packaging market size in 2026 is estimated at USD 84.03 billion, growing from 2025 value of USD 81.62 billion with 2031 projections showing USD 97.2 billion, growing at 2.95% CAGR over 2026-2031.

Europe Flexible Packaging - Market - IMG1

This trajectory follows tougher EU recycling mandates, expanding e-commerce parcel volumes, and accelerating demand for convenience foods that need extended shelf life. Mono-material film innovation is gathering pace as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) pushes for 30% recycled plastic content by 2030, while biodegradable options are scaling from a small base. Brand owners continue to migrate toward lightweight pouches that cut logistics costs, yet films and wraps still dominate on volume thanks to their versatility in food and industrial lines. Moderate competitive intensity-as the seven largest suppliers together control only about one quarter of sales-creates room for regional specialists to capture niche opportunities in barrier technology and digital printing.

Europe Flexible Packaging Market Trends and Insights

Surge in Demand for Recyclable Mono-Material Films Driven by EU Circular Economy Targets

The PPWR obliges every package sold in Europe to be recyclable by 2030, prompting converters to redesign multilayer structures into mono-material formats that pass mechanical recycling streams. Nestle reports 60% carbon-footprint savings from polypropylene retort pouches for pet food, while Saica Flex plans a fully recyclable portfolio by 2025 that integrates post-consumer recyclate. Paper's exemption from recycled-content quotas gives a lift to paper-based alternatives such as Koehler Paper's NexPlus barrier line. To compensate for lost multilayer performance, suppliers are testing ORMOCER and other inorganic coatings that cut oxygen transmission rates by 95% on PP substrates. Extended Producer Responsibility fees now penalize non-recyclable materials, compressing timetables for adoption.

Accelerated Growth of E-Commerce Elevating Demand for Flexible Mailer & Protective Formats

Online retail continues to expand double-digit in many EU markets, spurring uptake of lightweight mailers and protective films that reduce freight cost per parcel. Digital presses such as HP Indigo 200K allow brands to personalize outer graphics for seasonal or regional promotions, while cutting set-up waste versus flexography. Uteco's SapphireAQUA hybrid platform prints 1,200 X 1,200 DPI at 150 mpm using low-migration, water-based inks that fulfil food-contact rules. Smaller e-commerce brands increasingly outsource fulfillment, channeling more volume through indirect distributors who favor flexible formats compatible with automated packing lines.

Stringent EU Plastics & Packaging-Waste Regulations Increasing Compliance Costs

Smaller converters face steep investments to certify recyclability, integrate recycled resin, and redesign graphics to meet harmonized labeling. Extended Producer Responsibility fees for non-compliant packs can add 50% or more to delivered cost, squeezing margins until new lines come on-stream. PFAS bans hitting in 2026 will force reformulation of grease-resistant coatings for food wraps, while labeling rules effective 2028 drive artwork changeovers across thousands of SKUs.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Consumer Shift Toward Convenience & Portion-Control Products Boosting Flexible Pouch Adoption
  2. Technological Advances in High-Barrier Co-Extrusion Enhancing Shelf-Life for Ready Meals
  3. Limited Recycling Infrastructure for Multi-Layer Films Hampering Circularity Goals

Segment Analysis

Plastics contributed 61.88% of Europe flexible packaging market share in 2025, powered by polyethylene's cost-to-performance edge in food and e-commerce lines. Petro-based substrates maintain leadership today, yet the Europe flexible packaging market is witnessing brisk interest in bio-based and compostable films expanding at a 5.66% CAGR as brand owners chase PPWR alignment. Paper and paperboard enjoy an exemption from recycled-content quotas, and suppliers such as Koehler Paper are making headway with barrier-coated grades that hit 81.5% recycling rates. Metalized structures still serve pharma and premium food where absolute barrier rules, but stand largely insulated from volume swings thanks to niche demand. Chemical recycling initiatives for PET, including depolymerization to virgin-like feedstock, aim to secure food-grade resin streams by 2027, a milestone that could stabilise PET's position amid rising recycled-content targets.

Europe flexible packaging market players are trialing hybrid laminates that pair traditional polyolefin layers with biodegradable coatings to accelerate soil decomposition while preserving seal integrity during shelf life. BOPP remains the workhorse for transparent snack films, whereas CPP is favoured for retortable lidding thanks to its sealability. Bioplastics, currently a sliver of overall tonnage, are moving beyond compostable shopping bags into high-barrier structures with blending of PLA, PBAT, and starch. Converters anticipate cost parity with fossil-based grades only after 2028, pending feedstock scale-up and mandates that spur demand.

Films and wraps carried 43.92% of Europe flexible packaging market share in 2025 because they serve high-volume categories such as bakery, cheese, and industrial components. Nonetheless, pouches are clocking a 6.55% CAGR through 2031, buoyed by retortable pet-food packs and microwaveable ready meals that fit on-the-go consumer lifestyles. Stand-up formats improve shelf utilisation and brand visibility, which retailers reward with premium placement. Nestle's recyclable retort pouch illustrates how brands can cut carbon footprints by 60% versus legacy structures while maintaining performance Packaging Digest.

Bag formats continue to dominate agricultural seeds, fertilizers, and DIY markets, where bulk weight limits the appeal of thin-wall alternatives. Digital printing's rise allows converters to offer SKU-level customisation in lot sizes below 5,000 units without compromising unit economics, encouraging niche gourmet brands to adopt pouch packaging earlier in their lifecycle. Overwraps and shrink sleeves remain relevant as tamper-evidence solutions in beverages and pharmaceuticals but face scrutiny over recyclability. Double-digit growth in European pet ownership further underpins demand for retort and stand-up pouches that guarantee product freshness and aroma protection.
