Hair care, oral hygiene, and skin care represent the largest markets. New cosmetic product introductions and a broadening line of products for males, teens, and young adults will also drive expansion. The Freedonia study says plastics will continue to represent the growth segment of the industry’s packaging. Plastic containers are forecast to grow 3.3% during that time, paperboard 1.6%, metal 1.2%, and glass by 0.1%. Squeeze tubes will fuel plastics growth, according to the 310-page study.
