10:15 AM - 11:00 AM Sustainability, supply chain disruptions and other shocks in Packaging - update on the Next Normal

In 2019, we outlined five major trends that we expect to “change the game” in the +$Trillion packaging industry, thereby raising the bar for performance over the next five to ten years. In 2020, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the strong emergence of food safety and hygiene concerns as a new sixth key industry-shaping trend.
 
We have also seen how the COVID-19 pandemic has further reshaped our original five megatrends with the biggest changes being a dramatic shift to online shopping and acceleration of consumers’ sustainability concerns. In addition, we are now seeing further supply chain disruptions and strong inflation pressure.
 
So, what is now in store for the packaging industry in the Next Normal up to 2030 and how can companies navigate these choppy waters? In our presentation, we will take an updated look on what trends will be shaping the packaging industry and address how packaging companies must rethink how to move to their next normal (“intuition resets”).

Label converters as a whole adapted very well to the great demand shift in 2020, the labor shortages and supply issues that have trailed the pandemic. But they may be too busy getting work out the door and locating sources of media supply to notice that other shifts may be under way. A press manufacturer’s view of the challenges ahead, and how we can position ourselves to seize tomorrow’s opportunities.
