SURVEY DETAILS

TARGET POPULATION

The GLG Survey team interviewed 50 packaging solution buyers across Europe (the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain).

What will you learn from this survey?

Buyers of paper and packaging solutions provided insight into their current packaging needs, trends in the market and future outlook. Specifically, they discussed:

  • The shift away from plastics and drivers of this behaviour.
  • Likely beneficiaries of this shift (opportunities for alternative types of packaging materials).
  • Rate of packaging change in terms of formats / print / SKUs.
  • Impact of COVID-19 on different types of fibre-based packaging (on costs, purchasing, supply, pricing mechanisms, etc.).
  • The growth of online and subsequent impact on packaging demand.

DELIVERABLES

The GLG Survey team drafted the questionnaire with the support of GLG Network Member, Chris Brereton, an advisor on the European Paper and Packaging Industry and former COO of Group Business/Operational Strategy at DS Smith.

The standard deliverable, includes:

  • 1 x Individual responses (“raw data”), in Excel.
