World Demand for Food Containers to Reach $124 Billion

摘要

World demand for food containers is forecast to increase 3.9 percent per year to $124 billion in 2013. Factors contributing to rising demand include growth in global food output and trends toward convenience-oriented food options as a result of fast-paced lifestyles. Products made from biodegradable materials will post robust advances, albeit from a low base. This is due to increased pressure on packaging producers to reduce their environmental footprint. These and other trends are presented in World Food Containers, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.
