Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2027 global demand for protective packaging by product, market, and major world region in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Product segments include: flexible, foam, and rigid. Reported markets encompass: durable goods manufacturing, nondurable goods manufacturing, e-commerce, and retail and other markets such as moving and mail order uses. Major world regions include North America, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific, and all other regions. To illustrate historical trends, world, product, market, and regional demand (including product and market segments) are provided for 2012, 2017, and 2022. Excluded from the scope of this report are active insulated shipping containers employing electricity or other power sources to maintain a temperature-controlled environment inside an insulated enclosure. Retail packaging such as blister packs and clamshells are also excluded. Stretch and shrink hoods used in storage and transportation, and flexible bulk packaging such as shipping sacks, liners, paper roll wrap, and poly tubing roll are excluded as well. For any given historical year, US dollar amounts are obtained from values expressed in the applicable local currency. These local currency values are converted to US dollars at the average annual exchange rate for that year. For forecast years, the US dollar amounts assume the same annual exchange rate at that prevailing in 2022. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
