Plastic packaging sales are projected to reach ~€639 million by 2026 (up ~2.5% CAGR since 2021, per ReportLinker/Eurostat-aligned estimates). The broader packaging industry — spanning flexible, rigid, eco-friendly, and customised formats — is forecast to grow through 2032, driven by FMCG private-label expansion, e-commerce growth, and EU sustainability mandates. The market is fragmented at the SME level but anchored by a small number of large converters and multinational subsidiaries.
