Four key trends driving global flexible packaging market

12 October 2015

Smithers Pira has identified 4 key trends driving the market for flexible packaging. The first is continued downgauging as the combination of environmental pressures and high polymer prices make customers demand even thinner films. At the other end of the spectrum is the rise and importance of high-performance films that are less permeable to increase shelf life and enhance flavours.
The third trend is consumer convenience. More and more consumers lead increasingly hectic lifestyles, they do not have the time to cook meals from scratch and opt for convenient mealtime solutions instead. The final trend is bio-derived and bio-degradable technologies (News Item Smithers Pira, 18 September 2015).
