Thin wall packaging demand exceeds 2,5 million tones

摘要

In recent years, thin wall packaging (TWP) has become an increasingly well delineated sub-segment of the rigid plastics market. In total, in Europe it accounts for over 2,5 million tonnes of thermoplastics. AMI Consulting has now published a new pan-European report covering market size, structure, growth and market dynamics. The report covers all 27 EU countries. Thin wall packaging is defined to include yoghurt pots, butter and margarine containers, meat and fruit trays, blister packaging and similar containers. It excludes CD and DVD packaging as well as blow-moulded packaging. The largest single application is dairy products, accounting for 23% of the market.
