Australia Retail Bags Industry Overview
The Australian retail bags market is fragmented. The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a surge in demand for flexible packaging, aided by growing demand from food and e-commerce. Likewise, the manufacturing capability is expected to see a shift in production toward such trends, strengthening the competitive rivalry. Some major players in the market include Detmold Group, United Paper, Gispac, Pacific National Industries Pty Ltd, and Bag People Australia.
- December 2022 - The Detmold Group developed and launched a new range of sustainable packaging solutions for fresh produce products to replace traditional plastic packaging used for fresh produce products.
- August 2022 - Woolworths announced that all its South Australian and the Northern Territory stores would voluntarily phase out the 15-cent reusable plastic shopping bags. The move is significant because it results in the annual removal of over 916 tons of plastic from South Australia and the Northern Territory. This is similar to a change in Western Australia later this year, removing over 800 tons of plastic from landfills annually.
