Abstract
US demand to approach $4.7 billion in 2012
Demand for produce packaging is projected to approach $4.7 billion in 2012.
Growth will be fueled by increased produce production, favorable demographic
trends, growth in consumer spending, trends toward healthier eating and rising
demand for fresh-cut produce, which offers convenience and tends to use more
value-added packaging than bulk produce. Produce packaging demand will be
stimulated by a number of other trends, such as retailers' desires to control
labor costs through the use of displayready containers, which require less
direct handling than traditional containers or bulk produce.
Study coverage
It presents historical demand data (1997, 2002 and 2007) plus forecasts for
fresh produce packaging through 2012 and 2017 by packaging product type,
application and end user. The study also considers market environment factors,
evaluates company market share and profiles 40+ industry competitors,
including Bemis, Georgia-Pacific and International Paper.
