Highlights from the survey
Sales
-
Sales projections for the first half of ‘09 show continuing downward trend.
-
The rate of decline will ease slightly in North America and the Euro Zone; most companies project negative growth of below -2% to -5%.
-
Asia will decline to +8%, down from averages of +11%
-
A minority of manufacturers project sales growth of more than 40%. Again, Asia will be the main beneficiary.
Headcounts Frozen
-
Most companies report flat headcounts throughout 2009-10
-
Significant number will be slashing staff – mostly by about 5%.
-
A minority of the hardest hit firms anticipate more than 40% of jobs will be lost.
-
A small proportion say they plan on hiring in 2009; again, confined mainly to the Asian region.
Capital Equipment
-
More than half of all packaging producers reported a capital expenditure freeze - no investment plans through 2010.
-
Of those that have ’09 capital expenditure plans, only 10% have budgeted more than US$2 million.
-
Converting equipment tops the shopping list, followed by printing presses (digital, offset, flexo and gravure). Other equipment purchases being budgeted for include labelling, prepress, CAD/CAM, inspection, filling & sealing, extrusion and moulding machinery.
Retail & Brand Owners Increase Investment
-
Major retailers and brand owners recorded declining ’08-’09 sales.
-
Without exception, all have major investments and expansion plans for ’09-2010.
-
Continued Asian GDP growth will make it the main target.
