According to “Global Packaging Trends,” a new report compiled by Euromonitor International for PMMI Business Intelligence, Australia represents 84% of the total Australasia population and largely shapes the growth in the region. Between 2018 and 2023, it is expected to have a 3.7-billion-unit absolute volume growth.
Flexible plastic was the 2018 leading primary packaging type in Australasia. Food - especially small-sized and single-serve products and staples and snacks that do not require a cold chain network - tea, powders and other detergents were common end applications. Flexible packaging is expected to have a 0.9-billion-unit absolute volume growth by 2023.
