Key Market Trends

Food and Beverage Segment to Dominate the Market Demand

  • The food and beverage segment stands to be the dominating segment among applications, where packaging requirement is widely driven by a growing need to increase the shelf life of products, thus, protecting food products for longer periods.
  • The packaging is one of the key aspects considered by the firms engaged in the food and beverage industry, in order to ensure compatibility of packaging material with food, the durability of food, the safety of human health, and attractiveness of the packaging.
  • The increase in the aging population, growing demand for convenient packaging, growth of the e-commerce business, the growing online food delivery market, and the packaging of products in different sizes and quantities are some of the market conditions that have been boosting the demand for flexible packaging globally.
  • Hence, with such factors driving the demand for flexible packaging material, the consumption of packaging resins has also been increasing across the world.



Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market
