innovations
Suppliers are helping retailers meet consumer demand
for fresher, more convenient foods
BY RYAN ATKINSON
T
he perimeter of the supermarket, in the middle of a renaissance of sorts, is driven by two
major consumer demands.
"Consumers want healthy options, but also those
that are convenient and time-saving," says Lynn Dyer,
president of the Falls Church, Virginia-based Foodservice
Packaging Institute.
While the burden of providing the healthy (or healthier) foods falls elsewhere, the packaging industry is
tasked with much of the work when it comes to convenience, portability, usability and - more and more every
year - sustainability.
Retailers are counting on innovations from packaging
suppliers to help give shoppers what they want, even
when those demands can seem conflicting.
The impact of e-commerce
Packaging innovations are making online grocery shopping more attractive for both retailers and consumers
alike, according to a new report from the Freedonia
Group.
Consumers haven't adapted to online grocery shopping as quickly as they've adapted to e-commerce in
other categories like apparel, books and electronics.
Not only are they less willing to pay more for essentials
like groceries, but they also tend to prefer picking their

own fresh items. Consumers also worry that items could
spoil, spill or get damaged in transit.
As e-grocers explore new solutions like delivery
drones or cashierless stores, the Freedonia group said
food and beverage brands are tackling the challenges of
food e-commerce with packaging. Reducing packaging
weight and right-sizing packages so they take up less
space, for example, can lower shipping costs to stores
and consumers.
Packaging suppliers
have had to get creative
with online grocery
ordering and delivery.
