Despite adverse conditions, the European tube market remained stable in 2023. Deliveries by tube manufacturers organised in the European Tube Manufacturers Association (etma) remained at the previous year's level with a total volume of just under 11.9 billion units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most important End customer markets developed differently<\/strong>. While deliveries to the dental care sector increased by a good two per cent, demand from the pharmaceutical and cosmetics markets both fell by around two per cent. Deliveries to the food industry were able to repeat the previous year's result.<\/p>\n

\u201eDespite the multiple crises we are currently seeing in the world, the tube market was stable in 2023. The war in Ukraine and Gaza, stubborn inflation and the associated political and economic uncertainties are weighing on consumer sentiment and buying behaviour. The overall result achieved by the European tube industry in 2023 is therefore quite satisfactory.\u201c<\/p>\n

Mark Aegler,<\/strong> etma President<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sustainability remains the dominant trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before the European elections, the industry is expecting a new European packaging regulation to be passed that will Numerous stricter requirements for the sustainability of packaging<\/strong> is planned. In particular, the recyclability and design for recycling of packaging is to be improved. The packaging industry must rise to this challenge and offer innovative packaging solutions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n

The European tube industry is working flat out on innovative packaging solutions. Improvements in terms of sustainability have been achieved in particular through Less material used, less complex packaging structures and optimum recyclability<\/strong> can be realised. The result is reflected in optimised resource efficiency. \u201eHowever, the quotas for the use of recycled material in plastic packaging contained in the new Packaging Ordinance will pose major challenges for the packaging industry. These can only be overcome by corresponding investments in the entire sorting, processing and disposal supply chain<\/strong> and through corresponding progress in the authorisation of recycling processes for polyolefins in the EU. This is because the availability of high-quality post-consumer recycled plastics is still very limited at present,\u201c adds Aegler<\/p>\n

Satisfactory outlook for the first half of 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite the difficult political and economic conditions, the European tube industry is looking to the future. cautiously optimistic about the first half of 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe order backlog in our industry remains satisfactory overall. In addition, the European tube industry has always proven to be resilient in years of crisis in the past. In addition, energy costs and inflation have eased slightly. The further development of the raw materials and freight markets, on the other hand, is rather uncertain. The probably the biggest challenge for the industry in the coming years<\/strong> However, competition for qualified employees will become increasingly fierce,\u201c summarises Aegler.<\/p>\n
