The Consumer of 2025: Expectations and Innovations

Tech-Savvy, Eco-Conscious Consumer Behaviours

As we approach 2025, consumer expectations are evolving at a rapid pace. Shoppers today demand sustainability, personalisation, and digital experiences—and brands must adapt to stay relevant. Connected packaging is at the forefront of this transformation, offering seamless engagement and real-time interaction.

Modern consumers expect brands to prioritise eco-conscious solutions. Packaging made from recyclable, biodegradable, or reusable materials is no longer optional—it’s essential. Moreover, digital solutions such as QR codes and NFC technology allow brands to communicate their sustainability efforts directly to the consumer, offering transparency on materials, sourcing, and recycling methods.

Personalisation in Packaging Design

Personalised experiences are key to building brand loyalty. Intelligent packaging enables brands to create tailored interactions, from product recommendations to customised content. By leveraging first-party data, brands can deliver unique, data-driven experiences that resonate with individual consumers.

Connected packaging also enhances convenience. Imagine scanning a QR code to access nutritional information, exclusive discounts, or loyalty rewards—all tailored to your past purchases. This level of personalisation makes packaging a dynamic part of the consumer journey, rather than just a functional necessity.
