World Market for Consumer Packaging
Euromonitor International, Aug 2005, Pages: 455
Overall consumer goods packaging demand experienced a healthy rise of nearly 14% or 390.3 billion units over the review period to reach almost 3,200 billion units in 2003. Main contributors to growth were flexible as well as rigid plastic packaging formats, which saw their usage increase by more than 140 million units each, thanks to strengthening demand from the packaged food and beverages markets respectively.
Flexible packaging clearly dominated the packmix and accounted for almost half of all unit sales in 2003. Responsible for over one third of sales were tobacco products. Some way behind followed rigid plastic packaging with a share of 17%, followed by paper-based containers and metal packaging. All other pack types accounted for less than 10% of global consumer goods packaging in 2003.
The most notable trend in terms of packmix composition changes was towards rigid plastic, which gained nearly three percentage points in share over the survey period, due primarily to the successful performance of plastic bottles in soft drinks. Strongest losses occurred in flexible packaging, which experienced a decline in demand from its largest end-use category, tobacco.
