April 27, 2007 (Press Release) --
Paper Versus Plastic in Packaging forecasts to 2010 & 2015
Plastic to make continued market share gains on paper
In markets where plastic and paper compete as packaging materials, plastic is expected to make continued, albeit slower, inroads at the expense of paper and paperboard, increasing its share of poundage to 52 percent in 2010. Plastic has made the greatest advances in primary packaging but remains far less significant than paper in secondary packaging and shipping containers. Material improvements and heightened requirements for product protection and stability will create further opportunities for plastic over paper in a number of areas including protective packaging as well as produce, pet food, candy and confection, frozen food and foodservice applications.
Pouches, trays, tubs, and cups offer best opportunities for plastic
Plastic packaging demand will increase more rapidly based on good opportunities for both flexible and rigid packaging. Flexible packaging advances will be fueled by rapid growth for pouches and protective packaging. The rapidly expanding stand-up pouch segment will enable flexible packaging to gain share in a number of rigid packaging applications. In rigid plastic packaging, best opportunities are anticipated for trays and tubs and cups, with gains aided by favorable outlooks in key markets such as frozen foods, dairy products, and meat, poultry and seafood. Protective packaging prospects will be driven by opportunities in specialized packaging in the electronic, medical and other industries, as well as growing Internet-based sales.
Foodservice, dairy packaging to offer best prospects for paper
As a result of further inroads by plastic, paper consumption in the majority of competitive markets will decline or increase only marginally through 2010. However, paper will post above-average growth in foodservice and dairy packaging despite further penetration by plastic. Stimulants in foodservice uses include continued favorable expansion of foodservice revenues and good opportunities in boxes and cartons, paperboard buckets and pails, wraps and bags. Despite intensified competition from plastic in the dairy market, paper advances will be aided by continued opportunities for paperboard ice cream containers based on advantages of aesthetics, freshness protection and leak resistance. Additionally, folding carton demand will benefit from growth in sales of ice cream novelties as well as the popularity of yogurt multipacks.
