Aseptic and ESL packaging keeps evolving (sidebar)

Aseptic packaging— a growth segment

A Frost & Sullivan study published in July says the aseptic packaging market is in a growth phase. While the paperboard or drink box segment of the market is said to be in a low growth phase, both the flexible film and rigid plastic sectors are seen as high-growth areas.

Shown in the study are the total unit shipment and the revenue forecasts for the total U.S. aseptic packaging market over the period 2001-2011. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for revenue is forecast to be 3.4% over the period from 2004 to 2011.

A look at CAGR by market segment shows growth in the aseptic paperboard carton market to be practically flat compared to flexible and rigid plastics. The aseptic paperboard carton market is expected to generate $276.6 million in 2011 at a

revenue CAGR of 0.8% for the period 2004 to 2011. Flexibles and rigid plastic containers are another story. The aseptic flexible packages market is expected to generate $198 million in 2011 at a revenue CAGR of 7.0% for the period 2004 to 2011. The aseptic plastic container market is expected to generate $62.4 million in 2011 at a revenue CAGR of 6.7% for the period 2004 to 2011.
