Sustainable Packaging Innovations Transforming Brazil’s Landscape
Demand for consumer packaging products in Brazil increased at a CAGR of 1.2% during the historical period. Total revenue in the country reached around US$ 10.9 billion in 2022. This was due to factors like:
In the forecast period, sales of consumer packaging products in Brazil are projected to soar at 2.8% CAGR, totaling US$ 14.7 billion by 2033. This can be attributed to factors like rising demand for packaged food products, shifting preference toward sustainable packaging in Brazil, and advancements in packaging technology.
Packaging solutions with convenient features like easy-open tabs, resealable zippers, and portion control are becoming popular. Similarly, simplicity and minimalism in consumer packaging are gaining traction across Brazil.
Succeeding in the packaging industry is an enormous task, especially due to the implementation of stringent regulations. As a result, leading consumer packaging manufacturers are embracing innovation to counter environmental regulations and stay ahead of the competition. For instance, they use sustainable materials in their packaging.

Brazil’s food & beverage industry is witnessing steady growth, driven by rapid urbanization and the growing popularity of packaged food items. This will likely uplift demand for food packaging in Brazil throughout the forecast period.
The beverage segment is forecasted to be the fastest-growing segment, expanding at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. This growth is mainly influenced by the growing consumption of alcoholic and sports drinks across the country.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Brazil's alcohol consumption per capita is poised to increase by over 8% per year till 2025. Driven by this, sales of consumer packaging products or beverage packaging in Brazil, like bottles, cans, etc., are expected to rise steadily.
The personal care industry is also witnessing steady growth in Canada owing to increasing health awareness among consumers and the rising export of personal care products. This will likely create demand for aesthetic packaging, thereby fostering revenue growth.
According to the Brazilian Association of the Toiletries, Perfumery, and Cosmetics Industry (ABIHPEC), the country’s personal care exports grew by over 17% QOQ in the first quarter of 2023. This rising export of personal care products is expected to create growth opportunities for consumer packaging manufacturers through 2033.

The trend of incorporating paper-based packaging is gaining immense popularity in Brazil owing to the increasing pressure from retail. This, in turn, is expected to open new growth windows for the industry.
Several retailers in Brazil are actively advocating for and embracing paper packaging solutions as a means to meet regulatory standards, maintain a positive brand image, and cater to a discerning consumer base.
According to data from ABRE (Brazilian Packaging Association), the country's overall share of paper-based packaging increased by almost 6% year over year in 2022. This transition toward sustainable packaging solutions will likely foster industry expansion through 2033.
Several consumers in Brazil are also opting for on-the-go food products, consequently putting easy-to-use packaging in the limelight. A study conducted by UFRGS (Universidad Federal de Río Grande del Sur) in 2022 revealed that over 55% of consumers in Brazil prioritize packaging that makes it easy to consume or transport food products.
The section below shows the plastics segment dominating Brazil’s industry. It is projected to advance at 2.9% CAGR between 2023 and 2033. Based on the packaging format, the rigid packaging segment is poised to exhibit a higher CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period.
| Material Type | Value CAGR (2023 to 2033) |
|---|---|
| Plastics | 2.9% |
| Paper | 2.3% |
Based on material, the plastic segment holds a prominent value share of about 50%, despite the environmental impact of plastic and the stringent regulations and policies against it. Over the forecast period, demand for plastic packaging is poised to increase at 2.9% CAGR. This can be attributed to several advantages of plastic packaging, including:
Packaging giants across Brazil are increasingly using plastics to produce consumer packaging products like films, bottles, and trays, owing to its attractive advantages. This will likely improve the share of the target segment during the forecast period.
Consumers are also using plastic packaging to reduce packaging and transportation costs. Similarly, initiatives and support from the country’s government regarding plastic recyclability and the hike in polymer import tariffs are pushing the integration of materials such as rPET and Bio-Pet into product packaging. This is expected to boost the segment further across the country.
The widespread usage of plastic packaging, however, has raised environmental concerns. As a result, manufacturers are shifting their focus to sustainable plastic alternatives like bioplastics, including polylactic acid (PLA) and starch-based plastics. They are also improving their recycling infrastructure.
Although plastics remain dominant, paper packaging is slowly gaining traction in Brazil. Packaging products such as plastic food trays and sacks are gradually being replaced by paper.
The growing food delivery industry in the country is also driving demand for paper packaging. For instance, a leading Brazil-based food delivery platform named iFood reported a y-o-y growth of 20% in paper bags.
While the competition between plastics and paper is getting closer, the emerging statistics predict the plastic segment will hold a slight edge throughout the forecast period. This will likely be due to the growing usage of bioplastics across the packaging industry in Brazil.
| Packaging Format | Value CAGR |
|---|---|
| Flexible Packaging | 2.3% |
| Rigid Packaging | 3.7% |
The clash between rigid and flexible packaging has been raging for decades, with each format offering unique advantages. Currently, the flexible packaging segment dominates the Brazil industry, holding a share of 60.0%. This is due to its features like lightweight and compact nature.
Emerging trends, however, reveal rigid packaging to gain immense traction across Brazil. This can be attributed to durability, barrier properties, reusability, and the premium look and feel of rigid packaging. As per the latest report, demand for rigid packaging is set to increase at 3.7% CAGR through 2033.
Brazil’s consumer packaging industry is highly competitive, with several key players operating. Top consumer packaging companies listed in the report include WestRock Company, Amcor PLC, Klabin SA, Tetra Pak International SA, Sonoco Products Company, Smurfit Kappa Group, NEFAB Embalagens LTDA, Graphic Packaging International LLC, SSI Schaefer LTDA, and Trivium Packaging.
Leading manufacturers of consumer packaging products in Brazil are innovating to introduce new eco-friendly packaging solutions with novel designs. This not only helps them to woo eco-conscious consumers but also counter environmental regulations. They are continuously increasing their product portfolios to cater to the growing demand from urban households.
Several companies also employ tactics like distribution agreements, partnerships, facility expansions, acquisitions, and mergers to strengthen their presence in Brazil and other regions. This is resulting in a highly competitive and innovative industry that is driving growth and delivering more advanced and sustainable packaging solutions for consumers worldwide.
