6) Food safety is becoming paramount.

What this means to you: No longer are the words tampering and bio terrorism buzz phrases. They are facts of life. Product integrity will become increasingly important to consumers. New packaging ideas have been developed in response to growing food manufacturer fears about food safety and tampering. Packaging is likely to perform a key role in establishing and maintaining consumer confidence.

7) Environmentally friendly biodegradable packaging is another growth area, reflecting consumer and retailer awareness of the issue of waste disposal.

What this means to you: A large number of packaging firms are launching products made of 100 per cent recycled materials. There is increasing evidence of biodegradable inks on the market. All it takes is a few early adapters to make huge swings in the use of environmentally friendly materials. Remember how quickly the market changed when McDonalds switched from an EPS clamshell to a paperboard product? Literally overnight, the entire packaging climate changed.

8) Niche markets for products are being created. Niches that are large enough to be very profitable.

What this means to you: New products are being introduced for specific target markets. No longer can one product capture the majority of a consumer segment. Many of these markets are obscure but very lucrative. Innovation is continuing at a rampant pace. Look for new and previously untapped markets. Two growing areas are products marketed to women and boomers.

Every seven seconds, someone is turning 50 years old. Baby boomers will push the number of 50-and-over adults to more than 108 million by 2015.

9) Look for the continued growth of dual purpose products.

What this means to you: Growth can come from unlikely areas. Markets that were once strong have become so diluted they have become unprofitable. Whether you call if "phood" or pharmaceutically engineered and enhanced food, this category is hot. Explore all of the new product introductions that fall under these parameters.
