Market Share of Germany Plastic Packaging Films Industry

The German plastic Packaging Films market is fragmented, with several global and regional players, such as Innovia Films (CCL Industries Inc.), TORAY FILMS EUROPE, Berry Global Inc., SÜDPACK Holding GmbH, and Taghleef Industries, vying for attention in a contested market space. This market is characterized by low product differentiation, growing product penetration, and high competition.

• April 2024: Berry Global's Flexibles division ramped up its recycling capacity in three critical European facilities. This move is part of a broader pan-European initiative to bolster the production of its Sustane line of recycled polymers. The company has strategically deployed cutting-edge equipment at its Heanor (United Kingdom), Steinfeld (Germany), and Zdzieszowice (Poland) plants. This strategic expansion will boost Berry's annual recycled plastic output by around 6,600 metric tonnes. Moreover, Berry emphasizes that this expansion is not just about quantity. It is about enhancing the quality of recyclates. This quality boost will benefit Berry's Circular Range of flexible film solutions, ensuring these products maintain their hallmark strength, durability, and protective qualities.
• November 2023: Berry Global unveiled its latest Omni Xtra polyethylene clingfilm iteration, now dubbed Omni Xtra+. This upgraded film is a greener and more efficient substitute for conventional polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cling films. Tailored for various applications, from packaging fruits and vegetables to meats, poultry, and deli items, the Omni Xtra+ underscores Berry's commitment to innovation and sustainability.
• July 2023 - Dow and Klöckner Pentaplast have jointly introduced KP Flexivac, a multi-layer vacuum film. This innovative product has achieved a notable milestone: It has been certified as 100% recyclable PE by the recycling center CyclosHTP and the recycling alliance Interseroh. KP Flexivac is designed explicitly to package bone-in fresh meat and poultry cuts. Its hermetical seal and robust film ensure optimal food protection and safety, maintaining quality across the entire supply chain.
