TRANSCRIPT
Market Share by IndustryCertain products lend themselves to flexible packaging – based on product characteristics, consumer expectations and brand identity – and therefore will indicate a higher percentage of use compared to rigid packaging. Food products, considered a good fit for flexible packaging, have the highest percentage of use.
Formats by Frequency and Future GrowthThe pillow pouch and stand up pouch are the two most frequently used flexible packaging types, as well as the two fastest growing types.
One in Four Near Saturation LevelThe majority of companies indicated their packaging mix will remain the same over the next five years. 40% of the companies among that majority are reaching the upper limit of saturation, utilizing flexible for 90‐100% of their products.
Overall Product Mix Remains ConsistentThe total ratio of flexible to rigidpackaging is 41% to 59% respectively, the same as PMMI’s 2010 report.
