PET Bottles will see significant growth (2.6% CAGR) as continued interest in healthy lifestyle drives more consumers to bottled water. Currently, bottled water and carbonates account for 76% of PET Bottle packaging.
Plastic pouches will see a CAGR of 5.7%, adding nearly 2 billion units sold by 2020. Confectionary and processed fruits will drive growth in flexible pouches, offering convenience for on-the-go snacking.
While finding use in premium water offerings, metal beverage cans are predicted to lose some share due to the continued slow-down in carbonates consumption.
