Phase 4 of our Industrials M&A Insights Report examines the Packaging, Wood & Paper and Plastics sub-sectors. The packaging sector is experiencing moderate growth fuelled by e-commerce expansion and rising demand for eco-friendly, recyclable materials, though regulatory tightening and market uncertainty continue to weigh on transaction values.
Meanwhile, the plastics sector saw 1,092 transactions analysed during the review period, with acquirers increasingly pursuing assets in recycling, bio-based materials, and circular-economy solutions as EU sustainability directives reshape the industry. Across both sectors, innovation in sustainable materials and regulatory compliance are driving strategic M&A activity.
