Pw 8051 Statshots 1007

“Advances that will be stimulated by an expanding population base, rising disposable personal income levels, smaller household sizes, heightened demand for more convenient levels, and trends toward value-added packaging that produces freshness protection and increased convenience.” That’s according to “Food Containers: Rigid & Flexible,” a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc. (www.freedoniagroup.com).

The 362-page study, available for $4,500, also reports:

  • Plastic containers and bag and pouches will log the fastest growth among container types.
  • The more mature paperboard, metal, and glass food container segments will continue to lose ground to plastic containers and bags and pouches.
