New cosmetic product introductions and a broadening line of products for males, teens, and young adults will also drive expansion.

Plastic containers are forecast to grow 3.3% during that time, paperboard 1.6%, metal 1.2%, and glass by 0.1%. Squeeze tubes will fuel plastics growth, according to the 310-page study.
