Asia-Pacific packaging growth driven by demand for smaller pack sizes

Varied packaging sizes and economic refillable packaging options are driving innovations in the Asia-Pacific region – particularly in India which accounted for the largest packaging volume in 2018.

According to “Global Packaging Trends,” a new report compiled by Euromonitor International for PMMI Business Intelligence, India is expected to have an absolute volume growth of 161.6 billion units by 2023.
