Packaging for ready-to-eat poultry to grow 4.6% annually

The growth in packaging for ready-to-eat poultry products will be boosted by consumers looking for convenient, affordable meal options that require little or no preparation.

Demand for packaging for ready-to-eat poultry applications is projected to grow 4.6% annually to $450 million in 2021.

These trends are presented in “Poultry Packaging Market in the U.S.”, a new study from The Freedonia Group, a Cleveland-based industry research firm.
