Global market valuation was derived through production volume analysis and revenue mapping across the value chain. The methodology included:
Identification of 60+ key packaging converters and material suppliers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East
Product mapping across plastic (PET, PP, PE), glass (molded/cast), metal (aluminum/tinplate), paper/board (folding cartons, corrugated), and emerging bio-based materials
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to personal care packaging portfolios, including rigid containers, flexible films, closures, and dispensing systems
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (packaging unit volume × ASP by material type and region) and top-down (industry revenue validation against beauty/personal care sales ratios) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations for skincare, haircare, fragrance, and oral care packaging solutions
Key Methodological Adaptations for Packaging Sector:
Regulatory Focus: Emphasis on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations, FDA cosmetic packaging compliance, and EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD)
Sustainability Metrics: Integration of PCR content percentages, recyclable design criteria (How2Recycle labeling), and carbon footprint data per packaging unit
Value Chain Coverage: Inclusion of raw material suppliers (resin/ glass/ aluminum producers) and machinery manufacturers to capture upstream capacity constraints affecting pricing
E-commerce Segment: Specific analysis of secondary/tertiary packaging requirements driven by D2C beauty brand growth and Amazon/IATA transit testing standards
