Global Packaging Trends: Growth, Trends & Innovations, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies, examines global retail packaging demand and market dynamics from 2015–2020 using Euromonitor Passport data and regional benchmarks. The analysis focuses on three core areas: pack-type and material shifts (notably PET and flexible plastics), category and regional performance (emerging growth in Asia Pacific versus maturation in North America and Western Europe, including bottled water and snack formats), and sustainability versus convenience—size polarization, refillable formats and design innovation. Emerging patterns indicate manufacturers tend to favor cost-effective, convenient formats; charts highlight regional variation and comparative trajectories. The report reveals where packaging leaders are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
Published by PMMI and Euromonitor International in 2017. Based on Euromonitor Passport retail unit‑volume data and market research (quantitative unit volumes and qualitative analysis) across ~80 countries covering the historic and forecast period 2015–2020.
