According to a new report by Canadean, the continued growth in demand for lightweight plastic packaging will be a key trend in the US retail market leading up to 2017.
Americans will be using 32,850 million more rigid plastic and flexible packs in 2017 than they were in 2012, making these the fastest-growing segments in the US packaging industry. The requirement for greater convenience and cost-effectiveness will drive the use of lightweight flexible and rigid plastic packaging with innovative pack shapes, closures and dispensers.
