Three trends impacting the global packaging markets

29 October 2015

Consumer trends are impacting global packaging markets, according to a new PMMI report. Three influencers are making a mark in every region: growing awareness of health and wellness, recycling and environmental issues, and increasing disposable income and purchasing power.
Packaging markets in the Middle East and Africa are anticipating 5.3% CAGR growth in volume, but forecasts for Western Europe (0.4%) and North America (0.5%) land at the other end of the spectrum. Globally flexible plastic remains the dominant pack type, accounting for 29% of the market. PET bottles (12% of the market) will be among the fastest growing, with 4.75% CAGR (Press Release PMMI, 28 September 2015).
