Study #: 2254 Published: 10/2007 Pages: 194 Full Study Price: US$ 4,400 Per Page Price: US$ 30.00 Stretch & Shrink Film to 2011 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends US stretch and shrink film demand will grow 4.7 percent annually through 2011, driven in part by retail trends favoring shrink-wrapped multipacks and pallet wrap. Stretch and shrink film will grow at a similar pace, with stretch film remaining the larger segment. The dominant resin, LDPE, offers the best growth opportunities. This study analyzes the $3.7 billion US stretch and shrink film industry. It presents historical demand data for 1996, 2001 and 2006, with forecasts for 2011 and 2016 by type (wrap, labels and sleeves, hoods, bags); market (storage and distribution, product packaging); application, and resin (e.g., LLDPE, LDPE, PVC, polypropylene). The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure and competitive strategies, evaluates company market share and profiles 37 major players including Sigma Plastics, AEP Industries, Covalence Plastics, Atlantis Plastics, and Pliant.
