Abstract

US pouch demand to reach $7.9 billion in 2012
Demand for pouches in the US is forecast to reach $7.9 billion in 2012, stimulated by robust growth for stand-up pouches and healthy gains for flat pouches in a number of markets. Pouches, especially stand-up types, will continue to expand their presence based on superior qualities over many other types of packaging, including aesthetic appeal, reclosable components, portability, light weight and reduced material use.

Though stand-up pouches are fairly common in a variety of packaging applications, they remain distinctive in appearance, and demand will benefit from the ongoing emergence of new applications and continuing efforts by firms to differentiate their products with packaging that stands out.

Growth will also be fueled by advantages that make pouches an economical and environmentally-friendly packaging alternative, namely lower production costs and substantially reduced shipping costs (since pouches weigh less and require significantly less space and energy for transporting than an equivalent number of rigid containers).

Please Note: Freedonia requires that, for PDF orders, clients sign a confidentiality agreement prior to fulfillment of PDF email delivery.
