Description

Food Containers: Rigid & Flexible

Growth in the US food container market will average 2.8% annually through 2020, exceeding $31 billion. Although this represents a deceleration from the advances registered during the 2010-2015 period, gains will be sustained by continued modest growth in food processing activity. In general, growth for flexible packaging products will be faster than that for rigid packaging.

This report segments the food container industry by product and market. Data is provided in US dollars and units.

Products include:
Pouches and bags
Paperboard
Plastic
Metal
Glass

Pouches and bags will remain the largest of these through 2020, accounting for nearly 45% of the market in value terms. However, rigid plastic will lead in unit terms. Plastic products will offer the fastest growth, driven by advantages over other containers, including lighter weight, the ability to offer either clear or opaque versions, re-seal ability, and shatter resistance.

Major markets include:
Fruits and vegetables
Dairy products
Grain products
Meat and related products
Baked goods
Snack foods
Candy and confections
Frozen specialties
Other

The fruits and vegetables segment was the leading market in 2015, accounting for 14% of demand. The most rapid gains through 2020 are forecast for the snack foods market, driven by fueled by new product introductions and increased popularity of snack products in single portion package sizes.

The report discusses market share information as well acquisition and divestiture activity. The food container industry includes hundreds of participating companies, such as Ardagh, Ball, Bemis, Berry Plastics, Crown Holdings, Graphic Packaging, Reynolds Group, Silgan, Sonoco Products, and West Rock.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
