Rigid Food Packaging Published on July 2014
Report Summary This BCC Research report quantitatively assesses individual plastics usage in the key markets; provides rationales for the trends within each market sector; describes the roles of the many companies involved such as injection and blow molders, and thermoformers. It also discusses the structure of the industry, the ever-increasing importance of recycling, and other critical issues such as non-petroleum source materials. Use this report to: - Learn about the usage of key resins used in rigid food packaging, segmented by major application. - Receive information about the consumption of plastics in rigid food packaging. - Learn about the structure of the industry, the ever-increasing importance of recycling, and other critical issues such as non-petroleum source materials. - Identify the roles of key thermoformers, plastics Injection and blow molders serving the rigid food packaging market. Highlights - The global plastic rigid food packaging market was estimated at almost 30 billion pounds in 2013. The market is expected to reach about 31.1 billion pounds in 2014 and 37.2 billion pounds by 2019, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2014 to 2019. - Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as a segment is expected to reach about 15.5 billion pounds in 2014. It is further projected to grow to 18.9 billion pounds in 2019, with a CAGR of 4.1% for the five-year period, 2014 to 2019. - High-density polyethylene (HDPE) as a segment is expected to reach about 6.3 billion pounds in 2014. It is further projected to grow to nearly 7.4 billion pounds in 2019, with a CAGR of 3.3% for the five-year period, 2014 to 2019. INTRODUCTION REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY There have been very few reports that specifically cover the overall rigid plastic food packaging market. Previous studies in the field covered segments of this market such as bottles or food containers, but did not combine all the elements into a cohesive report. There have also been a great many reports on the flexible portion of the food packaging market, which is mainly comprised of film-based structures. An overall study on rigid plastic food packaging markets takes into account a wide array of structures that can be blown or injection molded, extruded, or thermoformed. It is also important to consider the non-plastic competitive scene mainly comprising glass, metal, and paperboard, as well as to assess relatively new technologies such as barrier bottles to maintain proper balances of oxygen and carbon dioxide. A reassessment of the recycling scenario, especially with plastic food bottles, is also needed to fully understand the market. SCOPE OF THE STUDY This report covers key resins used in rigid food packaging, segmented by the major applications including: bottles, dairy, meat/deli, prepared food, containers, foodservice plates, cups, other food containers, and miscellaneous food packaging products. The major resins covered include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polycarbonates (PC), styrene block copolymers (SBCs), polyvinylchloride (PVC)
