EU: PET bottles benefit from growth beauty packaging

Volume sales of beauty and personal care packaging in Europe grew by 1% over 2015 to reach 22.5 billion units. The market is forecast to see further growth, rising by a CAGR of 1% to 2019.
HDPE bottles dominate the landscape in Western Europe; many everyday essentials such as shampoo are commonly found in this pack type. Squeezable plastic tubes are, however, set to show slightly brighter prospects over 2015-2019, with a CAGR of 1%, a stronger performance than predicted for HDPE. But the pack type that is promising the best outlook remains the PET bottle, with a 3% CAGR or an extra 174 million units expected to be sold in Western Europe over 2015-2019 (News Item Euromonitor, 24 April 2016).
