8. Conclusions.
• Packaging type XXX.
• Market size of Packaging type XXX 8,415MM (mostly represented by XXX-Z). From
them, 6,650MM belong to the three biggest players, who have their specific XXX non-
standard type respectively.
• Potential XXX market for rest of Customers around 1,335 MM, however the type must
respect needs of eastern Europe market.
• Price positioning for XXX type is under 10€ for most important customers.
• Packaging type YYY.
• Market size for YYY still remaining (3,000MM), however price positioning is estimated to
be at 9€, due to the remaining capacity of suppliers of this packaging type.
• Returnable packaging.
• Customer 1 and Customer 2 represent 740MM units. Low price positioning of these
Customers with 7€ with XXX and YYY pack types with weights under 12 gr.
