Europe Personal Care Plastic Tube Packaging Market Analysis

The Europe Personal Care Plastic Tube Packaging Market size in terms of production volume is expected to grow from 7.78 billion units in 2025 to 8.94 billion units by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.81% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Rising cosmetic and beauty product consumption and rising sophisticated plastic packaging technology innovation are expected to drive the market. The growing sustainability concern is the need for biobased plastic in tube packaging for personal care.

  • Tubes are the ideal forms of packaging for semi-solid fillings. The plastic materials and combinations of plastic materials offer an unattainable range of advantages, such as the highest hygiene standards, superior barrier properties, product protection, limitless design options, consumer benefits, and future-proof environmental compatibility.
  • With its high standard of quality, tremendous versatility, and an impressive array of compelling advantages, the tube has found its way into many industrial and end-use markets, such as cosmetics and more. The European Tube Manufacturers Association member companies have contributed to the market victory and the high-quality standards of the tube. They account for about 75% of European flexible tube production and are ahead of the pack and world leaders in quality standards.
  • The potential market for organic and natural cosmetic products is currently in the European region, driven by the shifting consumer preferences toward the beauty industry. According to a poll done by Global Web Index on more than 2,300 web users from the United Kingdom who routinely purchase organic and natural cosmetics, 80% of them do so out of concern for their health and the environment. The European cosmetics market is anticipated to grow and hold onto its top spot in the next years due to its big consumer base.
  • Multilayer plastic packaging (MMPP) is a widely used packaging structure for personal care, pharmaceuticals, foods, and other FMCG products. 
  • By combining the functions of different materials, these packaging structures can improve properties, including resource use and barrier performance, which can lead to subsequent advantages, such as extended Europe. However, they also challenge existing recycling systems, thus challenging circular economy principles.
  • The embedded heterogeneity of MMPP has become an obstacle for the recycling industry. Waste characterization is essential for mechanical recycling steps with quality end-products. Conventional waste management systems aren't designed to detect, sort, and recycle multilayer MMPP. This makes MMPP a challenging material to recycle. Over the forecast period, this circular economy challenge eventually fuels the demand for alternative forms of tube packaging in different parts of Europe, such as paper and metal, restraining the growth of the market studied.
