Dear Members,

May I have the privilege to recall few of the major achievements accomplished by the active team of the Institute during the year of 2013 - 2014.

The Institute had continued with the Upgradation of Infrastructural Facilities at its Head Office, Mumbai and other centres with the financial assistance from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India which was originally initiated under Plan Fund in 2011. In line with this, the Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony for the construction of a new educational complex for the commencement of B.Tech degree in Packaging Technology and Management as well as the International Packaging Centre at IIP, Mumbai was organised successfully. In addition, the Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony for expansion of IIP, Kolkata for Post Graduate Diploma Programme in Packaging was also held during this year. The construction projects are progressing as per schedule.

The Institute had also commenced two R&D projects for the Upgradation of Packaging Standards for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables and Modified Atmospheric Packaging for Fresh Meat Products with the financial assistance of APEDA, Government of India. Besides, a collaborative R&D project was initiated for the first time with Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai for the Enhancement of Shelf-life of Tender Coconut

Water with the financial assistance from the Ministry of Food Processing Industry, Government of India.

The Secretariat of Asian Packaging Federation (APF) was successfully shifted from Thailand to India as the Director of the Institute was unanimously elected by the Board Members of APF as Secretary General of APF for a period of four years. This helped the Institute to establish a strong international linkage with the global packaging community.

In order to promote the export market, the Institute had also organised the 16th edition of the National Packaging Exhibition i.e. INDPACK 2014 along with the National Conference on Packaging at Delhi, successfully. In addition, the Institute had been organising a number of National conferences on different subjects in packaging at two-tier cities of India, thus establishing the brand image of the Institute. Moreover, the Institute had also appointed a PR agency who could help the Institute with news coverage in print and electronic media of the various events and activities relating to the Institute.

Considering the above, I take the opportunity to express my sincere thanks to the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India for their financial support to implement the various schemes under the Plan Fund. At the same time, I also wish to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the esteemed members of the Governing Body of the Institute for their constant guidance and support for transforming and taking this Institute to a great height.

Last, but not the least, I wish to thank my team members for their active co-operation, sincerity and dedicated services to the industry and also to organise each and every event with grand success and taking the Institute forward towards achieving the goal of global recognition.

Jai Hind!

Dr. N. C. Saha

coordination between center and states to ensure smooth implementation of government policies.

Indian economy is the tenth largest in the world by nominal GDP and third largest on Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) basis. The country is one of the major G-20 major economy, a member of BRIC and a developing economy. India was the 19th largest merchandise and 6th largest services exporter in the world in 2013.

The agriculture sector is the largest employer but accounts for 17% of GDP. Industry accounts for 26% and balance 57% is accounted for by services. For a sustainable growth this needs to change the emphasis on manufacturing would have far reaching benefits to the economy.

In the post-independence era, Indian economy (1947-1991) was a mixed economy with an inward looking, centrally planned and interventionist policies. After a fiscal crisis in 1991, India has increasingly adopted free market principles and liberalized its economy. It eliminated much of license raj of strict government control on setting up industries. Following these economic reforms and strong focus on developing infrastructure, such as the golden quadrilateral project, the economy grew at a rapid pace with significant increases in per capita income.

India has a strong agriculture base. The country is largest producer in the world of Milk, Jute and pulses and also has 2nd largest cattle population. It is 2nd largest producer of rice, wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and ground-nut as well as the 2nd largest fruits and vegetable producer and also 2nd largest producer and largest consumer of silk in the world. The transition from agriculture to industry would have profound impact on the economy and its future growth.

PACKAGING INDUSTRY A SNAPSHOT

The global packaging industry is currently valued at US $ 750 billion and is expected to grow to US $ 820 billion by 2016. This growth is primarily driven by factors like growing urbanization, investment

in housing and construction, a burgeoning healthcare sector and rapid development in the emerging economies like China, India, Brazil Russia and few other East European Economies. The consumer market dominates the global packaging industry and accounts for an estimated 70% of the sales, while industrial application accounting for remaining 30% of it.

India Packaging industry is an important sector adding value to the various sectors including agriculture and FMCG segments. Technology and innovation in this sector is improving day-by-day.

Indias retail growth and increased consumption of consumer products is driving the demands for packaging in the Country. India is the sixth largest packaging market in the world, with sales of US$ 24.6 billion in 2011. The packaging Industry is expected to grow at a CARG of 12.3% to become the fourth largest global market, with sales of US$ 43.7 billion in 2016. The Indian food processing market is one of the largest in the world in terms of production, consumption and growth prospects. Indias per capita annual packaging expenditure was US$ 20 in 2011, which is significantly lower than the top 20 market average of US$347.6. The Low per capita expenditure offers a huge business opportunity for packaging company. Despite the Indian packaging industry undergoing some consolidation, it is still fragmented, especially following the introduction of new countries in the country.

With an increasing investment by domestic as well as the foreign companies in Indian food processing and pharmaceutical sectors, the market for packaging industry has expanded rapidly. The retail market, food & beverages and pharmaceutical segments occupy the largest share in the packaging industry, accounting for 85 % and 10% respectively. Indian Government is taking various measures to permit FDI in the multi- brand retail.


23

This emerging opportunity for the packaging industry is giving rise to new prospects for packaging machinery and equipment industry in India. More than 600 to 700 types of packaging machines and equipments are manufactured by MSME sector. The market for Indias food packaging equipments amounts to US$ 80 million. Despite this, the growth in packaging industry has not been uniform and the industry remains highly fragmented.

India comprises of big rural market and there has been growing focus on rural marketing, whereby manufacturers are introducing low-priced goods in smaller pack sizes. Low priced sachets have proved to be extremely popular in smaller towns and villages, where people do not prefer to buy larger packs due to financial constraints.

Factors Affecting Growth of the Packaging Industry in India

The study of economic researchers have also established that rapid growth of the Indian economy is mainly due to the number of mega trends which have resulted into the changing pattern in the society. The Globalization intends to convert the entire world into a single global village and reduce trade barrier, while Liberalization is encouraging the foreign investors which is booming the international trade resulting into easy availability of foreign goods.

The Urbanization, increase in middle class population, growth of literacy, growth of number of working women, rise in demands for smaller packs and awareness about packaged goods, with more nuclear families has created new areas of growth for the packaging industries in India.

The packaging market in India seems set for the next level of growth. Strong favorable demographics aside, factors such as increasing disposable income levels, rising consumer awareness and demand for processed food, and the multinational giants taking rapid strides in the food, beverages, cosmetics & toiletries and pharmaceuticals space,

are expected to be the key drivers of this growth story.

These factors are forcing both packaging suppliers and end-user industry to shift from bulk packaging to retail, and unit-level and small-sized packaging. In addition, exploding organized retail growth and newly relaxed FDI investment norms in retail and other sectors, augur well for packaging market in India.

Indian packaging industry is highly fragmented with a large number of small scale companies and a few large integrated players. According to one estimate, there are more than 22,000 registered packaging companies in India, more than 85 percent of which are MSMEs.

The organized sector in India accounts for roughly 50 percent of the volumes whereas the balance is highly fragmented and distributed. Globally the scenario is somewhat more consolidated roughly 75 percent of the global packaging industry by value is accounted for by 20 percent of the largest integrated global players. In India, as the industry grows and matures, there is expected to be a trend towards consolidation as the supply side companies merge and acquire smaller companies to increase scale, reduce competition and improve bargaining power with the customers.

The large and growing middle class and the current low penetration of the organized retail sector are the catalysts for growth in this sector. With changing lifestyles the consumerist patterns are expected to change toward a greater emphasis on convenience, health and messaging. Organized retail will shift the trend from loose items to branded packs on items like commodities, food grains, vegetable oil etc.

More than 78 percent of the total packaging market in India is contributed by rigid packaging while only the remaining comprises flexible packaging. This trend is similar to the global market where flexible packaging accounts for approximately 18 percent of the total packaging

24


market. Flexible packaging is however, the fastest growing sector of Indias packaging industry. The shift from traditional rigid packaging to flexible packaging mainly on account of its attractiveness, cost-effectiveness and strength is largely aided by increasing consumer demand for processed food.

Metal Packaging

Metal packaging is one of the fastest growing packaging categories in India driven largely by categories like aerosol packaging (deodorants, air fresheners, insect repellents etc.) and beverage cans (beer, soft drinks & health drinks). Increased income levels combined with high awareness driven by marketing by FMCG companies have led to growing aspirations amongst the middle class and lower income groups to adopt these new products. Further changing lifestyles and mindsets contribute to increased levels of spending by the higher income groups leading to increased demand for metal packaging.

Rigid Plastic Packaging

Rigid plastics category includes products like tubes, cups, bottles, pots, cans and closures. Rigid packaging material finds usage in all packaging related applications and is fast replacing traditional packaging materials like metal cans, glass bottles, aluminum collapsible tubes and metal caps. In India this category is driven by the companies seeking lower cost of packaging, introduction of new products that fit this category, expanding middle class consumers shift from loose products to packaged products, modern retail formats that increase value of product presentation and growing aspirations to consume better quality products.

Flexible Packaging

Overall demand for flexible packaging was driven by the continued usage in existing categories and adoption into a wide range of new products like hot drinks, beauty and personal care products and home care products. Demand for flexible

packaging in India is likely to remain strong, due to comparative lower cost of packaging and continuous innovation by leading players who are launching new materials and products for the industry.

Glass Packaging

The primary driver of glass packaging in India remains the soft drinks and alcoholic beverages industry. Pharmaceutical applications of glass continue to reduce as the traditional glass packaged products continue to shift to rigid plastics. However, continued growth in demand is expected from alcoholic drink manufacturers, who prefer glass packaging, due to the premium image of glass packaging and better barrier properties compared to rigid plastics. Though some companies had tried introducing rigid plastic bottles and paper brick packaging for wines and beer, consumer adoption of these alternate packaging has been limited.

Liquid Cartons

Demand for liquid cartons has seen high growth in India driven by adoption across multiple new categories like oil, flavored milk, lassi, soya based drinks and some alcoholic beverages like wine and entry of new companies like Danone. Traditional categories like milk, juices and beverages also have seen a high growth in demand for this type of packaging. Further Indian consumers have high levels of awareness of the advantages of aseptic packaging due to a promotion run by the only company in this space, TetraPak.

Packaging Market by Sector

The total demand of F&B packaging segment stands at around US$13.2 billion (` 72,000 Cr.) and accounts for around 85 percent market share followed by pharmaceuticals and other market segments. At present, flexible, rigid and metallic food packaging materials account for around 55 percent of the total food packaging material market, while printed cartons and rigid packaging segments together represent 28 percent market


25

shares in value terms. Flexible materials such as food packaging laminates, flexible packaging foils etc. constitute close to 24 percent of the overall packaging material market, followed by rigid food packaging material segment.

Global Market Overview

As per estimates by Pira International Ltd., globally, paper and paper board rigid packaging products form the largest segment of the packaging market, totaling some US$210 billion in 2010 and estimated to grow to US$250 billion by 2016. Comparatively in India paper and paper board accounts for around 10 percent of the total packaging materials. Rigid plastic is the second largest slice of the worldwide market, at over 21 percent or US$144 billion in 2010, expanding to over US$200 billion by 2016, while the flexible packaging market will increase from US$130 billion in 2010 to over US$163 billion by 2016. The consumption of metal packaging represented over 15 percent of the 2010 market compared to less than 10 percent in the Indian context.

In global markets, metal packaging will be losing market share to competing products, especially rigid plastic, to enjoy only 14 percent of the 2016 market, while demand for glass containers is also anticipated to slow down over the medium term, increasing from some US$45 billion in 2010 to around US$53 billion by 2016.

The US was the largest user of packaging in 2010 (US$137 billion), China was second (US$80 billion), India is estimated to have a demand that grows to US$24 billion by 2017.

Trends: India Where are we now

In a cost-sensitive market such as India, the pressure to reduce packaging costs is intense. While the demand for more sophisticated packaging is on the rise in India, with it comes additional pressures on cost for packaging suppliers. With a shifting socio-economic landscape, a move towards the consumption of more processed foods has resulted into doubling of the growth of the food

processing sector to 13.7 per cent in the past four years. There is also growing consumer awareness and government focus on going green. The government has taken steps to promote recycling under the National Action Plan on Climate Change. Studies indicate that sustainable packaging is likely to see its greatest growth in the Asia Pacific region owing largely to the size of the food and beverage market in the region, driven in large part by India, China and Indonesia.

(1) Educational Activities

REPORT ON ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTE

Packaging plays a vital role in protecting products as they go from the producers to the consumer. Packaging is designed to ensure that the product reaches the consumer in good condition. The product is protected during transport handling and distribution, from climatic effects (heat and cold, moisture, vapor, drying atmospheres), from hazardous substances and contaminants and from infestation.

Packaging helps sell products through branding, communication, product providing differentiation convenience. The continuously changing demands will require higher quality graphics and promotional links between graphics and advertising to support brand identities, plus the ability to reflect current consumer trend and images.

The Institute is a pioneer in the field of packaging education and offers a variety of courses to cater to fresh graduates in science and technology as well as practicing professionals in the Industry.
