EU thin wall packaging industry undergoes changes

17 March 2016

According to a new report by Applied Market Information Ltd's (AMI), thin wall packaging is a large and relatively stable market in Europe with the consumption of 3.1 million tonnes of polymer in 2015. Nonetheless, the search for higher margins and market positioning causes the industry to focus on improvements in material and process engineering.
The past few years have been particularly productive for the industry and advances in process technology synergistic with polymer science have enabled changes which have facilitated the emergence of new applications. In 2015, the top 10 converters in EU28+3 accounted for 43% of the market (Press Release AMI, 13 February 2016).
