#3 In EuropeRevenue in the packaging services industry in Europe is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 3.9% to €23.1 billion over the five years through 2024, contracting by an estimated 3.3% in 2024. High inflation during the three years through 2024 has forced the ECB to raise interest rates, which has squeezed household incomes and knocked business confidence. This has reduced demand for packaged products across Europe. Demand for packaging services has gone up, and developments in sustainable packaging have supported profit by making it recyclable and eco-friendly. Profit is anticipated to sit at 8.5% in 2024. Profit was hindered by supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and the Russian-Ukraine conflict, which sent supply costs soaring, constraining profit for packaging companies.
