Plastic Packaging Market Overview
Plastic packaging has grown to become a $38.2 billion market, by PMCF estimates, and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 4.5% through 2010. As consumer demands evolve and new products are introduced to the market, plastic packaging is gaining market share at the expense of paper, metal, and glass alternatives due to advantages in cost, flexibility, portability, barrier properties, and aesthetics. Globalization, consolidation, volatile raw material costs, and ever-changing consumer demand have all contributed to a dynamic market environment that presents a number of challenges to overcome, but also brings with it significant opportunities for success. This market overview gives data and statistics on the plastic packaging market and discusses key trends affecting plastic packaging companies in the industry today. Major players in the plastic packaging industry are profiled including AEP Industries, Aptar Group, Bemis, Pactiv, Sealed Air, Berry Plastics, Plastipak, Pliant, Consolidated Container, and Ampac Packaging.
