The market is expected to witness steady growth over the forecast period. Increased spending on beauty and personal care around the world will support the need for effective packaging of cosmetic products such as creams, gels, and pastes. Furthermore, continued innovation in packaging materials, such as plastic and aluminum tubes, will provide opportunities for manufacturers to improve features such as usability, portability, and shelf life.

Growing sustainability and environmental concerns

With growing awareness about plastic waste and its adverse effects on the environment, there is a rising demand from consumers and manufacturers for more sustainable packaging solutions. Traditional plastic and metal tubes used for packaging cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical products end up in landfills where they take centuries to decompose. This is creating a negative impression about brands that use non-recyclable or non-biodegradable packaging. Tube packaging manufacturers are facing increasing pressure to make their products more eco-friendly. Tube materials like aluminum and plastic are now being replaced by more sustainable options such as paperboard. Paperboard tubes have the advantage of being lightweight as well as recyclable and biodegradable. They can be easily broken down by natural processes within a few months after disposal. This gives tube packaging a much smaller carbon footprint compared to plastic or metal alternatives. Brand owners are also promoting the sustainable attributes of paperboard tubes in their marketing campaigns to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. The shift towards eco-friendlier paper-based tube packaging is therefore expected to drive significant demand over the coming years. For instance, on May 5, 2023, Stora Enso, a provider of renewable products in packaging, alongside Blue Ocean Closures, a bio-based packaging company, and AISA (a tube packaging company) developed together the first paperboard tube with a fiber-based closure. This new, innovative wood fiber-based concept will help brand owners increase the share of renewable material in their packaging.
