The packaging industry<\/strong> is very large: it includes filling, dosing, packaging, closing and closing machines<\/strong>, etc. These are services requested by all sectors of activity, even if the main demands come from the agri-food, pharmaceutical<\/a> and cosmetic<\/a> industries.<\/p>\n It is therefore a successful and growing market. Proof of this is that it represents approximately $35 billion worldwide and is expected to double in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n Moreover France<\/strong> is not to be outdone, since it ranks 7th on the world market for packaging machines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first is R&D. Indeed, the technological revolution in machinery<\/strong> has already taken place, so it is difficult to innovate considerably. The main areas of development of the packaging industry<\/strong> are now focused on productivity and packaging materials<\/strong>. But these are requests made by customers and cannot be anticipated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second is the one related to exportation, especially with the problem of setting up an after-sales service. It is more complicated to provide machine maintenance services<\/strong>, where in lot of cases, the language barrier meets the geographical distance barrier.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally, there are also questions related to marketing and communication. The low renewal rate for the packaging equipment<\/strong> limits the market growth. And where promotional marketing is developed, strategic marketing is not really present and there is no real competitive intelligence.<\/p>\n To conclude, the regulatory and eco-design aspects<\/strong> are also increasingly present in all sectors combined, and are also relevant to the packaging market<\/strong>. Thus having ISO 9001 certification<\/strong> is not a mandatory prerequisite for customers, but the majority of companies of the packaging sector<\/strong> work by applying these rules.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -France has 284 establishments in the packaging and packaging machine manufacturing sector, including 33 in Ile-de-France.<\/p>\n -A total turnover of the French packaging sector of \u20ac912 million<\/strong> in the manufacture of packaging, packaging and weighing equipment<\/strong>, 53% of which will be exported in 2012.<\/p>\n – The global market volume is $35 billion for packaging and packaging machines<\/strong>, a figure that is expected to double in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thus the French packaging industry<\/strong> is a market which, although subject to many possible improvements, is full of promise and opportunities for the coming years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ICT market in France<\/a><\/p>\n Business opportunities in the home d\u00e9cor sector<\/a><\/p>\n The export of the promotional object in France<\/a><\/p>\n The exportation of the decoration sector to France<\/a><\/p>\n The organic wines market in France<\/a><\/p>\nHowever, in order for the French market to remain efficient, there are certain areas of reflection to be considered:<\/h2>\n
