The impact of generative AI on packaging
The global packaging market is valued at $1.2 trillion in 2025, according to the latest research by Smithers, and AI will have an increasingly important role in the growth of the industry over the coming years.
In this exclusive white paper, official research partner Smithers explores how GenAI will impact the packaging industry in the years ahead.
Key takeaways:
Speed to market: as GenAI design tools improve, it will help bring customised products to market faster, while human creativity remains essential.
The role of AI in packaging development: packaging companies are adopting AI to improve efficiency and precision throughout the supply chain.
Supply chain efficiencies: smarter systems will enable better stock management, improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Future outlook
GenAI will lower the barriers to creativity in packaging design. There will be explosive growth in personalised and virtual content, and versatile packaging formats generated through GenAI.
There is great potential to significantly increase efficiency and sustainability as AI optimises processes, from material selection to end-of-life processing. The development of smarter, self-learning systems could improve the adaptability of production and contribute to realising a fully circular economy.
