US resin demand to exceed 14 billion pounds in 2016 • US demand for plastic containers is expected to surpass $32 billion in 2016, with resin demand reaching 14.2 billion pounds. Advances will be driven by performance advantages over metal, glass and paperboard alternatives, which will stimulate ongoing opportunities in a broad range of applications. Additionally, unit gains will be propelled by preferences for small, single-serving containers in bottle markets such as water, carbonated soft drinks, and milk; and in tub, cup, and bowl markets such as yogurt, soup, fruit, coffee, and condiments. However, advances will be moderated by the maturity of a number of bottle markets, along with heightened competition from flexible packaging in the tub, cup, and bowl, and tray markets. • Resin demand will trail unit gains due to light weighting of bottles in many markets to hold down resin and shipping costs, and to enhance sustainability. Notable markets where significant light weighting has been achieved include bottled water and liquid laundry detergent. The liquid laundry detergent market has transitioned to more concentrated formulations that require smaller bottles.
PET, HDPE to remain major plastic container resins • Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) are by far the major resins for plastic containers, accounting for a combined 86 percent of demand in 2011. PET will see higher volume gains in uses such as food and pharmaceutical bottles, trays, and tubs, cups, and bowls. HDPE demand will rebound from declines in the 2006-2011 period. However, gains will be restrained by declining per capita consumption of milk, the downsizing of detergent and bleach bottles, and competition from laundry detergents that are not packaged in bottles. • COMPANY PROFILES • Profiles for 29 producers including Alpla, Amcor, Berry Plastics, Coca- Cola, Plastipak, and Reynolds Group (Graham Packaging, Pactiv) • For more details contact Mr. PriyankTiwari: sales@rnrmarketresearch.com / +18883915441 Website: http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/
