Plastics take dominant share in HBA
Plastic packaging accounts for about 55 percent of all cosmetics and toiletries packaging and is an integral part of product design for leading HBA multinational companies. A report from Market Tracking International (MTI) projects that unit packs for cosmetics and toiletries will grow to 73 billion by the year '05, with plastic packaging then garnering 61 percent of market share. The report states that the preference for plastic is being driven by its advantages over glass for a range of bathroom products, and by the rise in the diversity of end-user products that favor a versatile material such as plastic. World cosmetics and toiletries packaging is estimated to rise to US $10.5 billion by '05. One of the key trends in the cosmetics and toiletries packaging market is globalization. In the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and personal care sector as a whole, the high level of large multinational companies means that new products are launched on a world scale. The major cosmetics and toiletries brands are all highly recognizable, international products, using the same packaging and design. The top 10 customers consume about 60 percent to 65 percent of the total packaging used for HBA. Haircare and skincare products are the largest sectors of the world HBA market, accounting for 23 percent and 22 percent, respectively. Growth, however, has been strongest in color cosmetics, bath and shower products, and suncare products. More information is available: Research study: Market Tracking Intl., 44 020 7263 1365.
