Key Highlights

- The containers and packaging market is a measure of the total volumes and values of production of various types of packaging materials, divided into paper, plastic, metal and glass packaging. The segments include only products that are used explicitly for packaging purposes i.e. the paper segment does not include household and sanitary papers, or printing papers, but does include wrapping papers. It also does not include packaging that is used only for transportation purposes such as wooden crates, pallets, steel drums etc.
- The market value is calculated by applying the average price per ton of production to the total market volume. Our segments include:
- Glass - An amorphous (non-crystalline) material that exhibits a transition from a hard and relatively brittle state into a molten or rubber-like state under high temperature. Container glass used for packaging is typically brittle and can be optically transparent or colored.
- Plastics - Freestanding plastic bottles, tubs and jars made from a range of polymers including PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, PVC, PC, PS/ABS including co-extrusions, lamination and barrier coated containers.
- Metal - Freestanding metal cans, bottles, and tins made from steel or aluminium.
- Paper - Containers made mainly of folding carton board (often also known as "paperboard"- consisting of several layers of fibrous wood pulp. Paper and board containers are commonly coated in polyethylene and lined with aluminium foil, but are considered as board if board is the main packaging material.
