Vicco Labs is a 70-year old company that provides a combination of natural, organic and ayurvedic personal care products from toothpastes to body lotions. Its ayurvedic toothpaste was created using 20 rare medicinal herbs and turmeric skin cream is revered globally. Realizing that its customers respect it for its nurturing, protecting and rejuvenating medicinal products and remedies, the company is among the first to adopt recyclable packaging. Customers for personal care products are given to nature cures and perhaps the consumer segment that is most worried about the use of microplastics and harmful chemicals in products as well their packaging.

Vicco has adopted EPL’s Platina range of recyclable tubes for several of its most well natural face cream products – its aloe and turmeric face cream, its WSO face cream, its turmeric face wash, and its turmeric with sandalwood oil cream. A leader in the development of herbal and organic personal care products, the company clearly wants to lead on the use of sustainable packaging – an important consideration for its customers in more than 40 countries globally. Apart from the barrier properties and shelf life required by these products, the packaging must score in terms of its functionality and shelf impact.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground.
