Our exclusive content:
World mono-material plastic packaging film consumption grew during 2015–19 at an annual average rate of 3.5% to 20.44 million tonnes ($55.9 billion). Consumption is forecast to grow during 2020–25 at an annual average rate of 3.9% to 26.03 million tonnes ($70.9 billion). Flexible plastic packaging is growing worldwide and is taking market share from other pack formats, such as rigid packaging, across many applications.
Flexible plastic packaging has a number of advantages compared to rigid packaging formats; including lack of rigidity, lower weight, lower transport costs, less energy to produce and lower environmental impact. Barrier protection can be tailored to meet product and shelf-life needs and it can be retorted and hot-filled to challenge glass and metal packaging. Flexible packaging can also be readily printed, decorated and coded without use of separate labels.
