Flexible packaging remains one of the fastest-growing areas in packaging: according to Smithers Pira data, global consumption is forecast to grow 3.5% annually over the next five years, reaching $231 billion (€203.7 billion) by 2018. Innovation will be fundamental to its continued growth. The wide scope for flexible packaging applications means this is affected by a number of market drivers.
