What notable new formats and value-added features have been introduced in these categories in recent years? Which consumer trends have these packaging innovations capitalized on? How can healthcare, hygiene and toiletries products manufacturers use packaging to stay ahead of the game in a crowded marketplace?

Many consumers say that their choices of products are often influenced by how ethical, environmentally friendly, or socially responsible the product is. Healthcare, hygiene, and toiletries manufacturers can respond to this trend through either packaging design or the choice of packaging material, backed by a statement on company values. The way a product looks is also important for busy consumers, who very often perceive judge offerings through a quick look at the pack that should instantly deliver the product "story." Practical aspects, such as easy dosing or a secure closure, are always important as well as an appealing design that attracts attention. We have used GlobalData's Pack-Track packaging innovation tool to identify new packaging developments within these categories, and this report discusses special features and benefits of examples we like, and how they fit in with current consumer trends within GlobalData's TrendSights framework.
