Growing market for food and packaging

The Philippines is one of Asia's largest producers of food, with the food processing sector exceeding US$29 billion. Packaging units to be consumed would reach approximately 65.8 billion in 2018, according to reports.

The global F&B industry relies quite heavily on plastic packaging, despite the availability or other materials, for many reasons including production cost and consumer convenience. In 2017, the global plastic packaging market was valued at US$321.40 billion and is expected to reach US$452.24 billion in 2024, according to analyses by Zion Market Research. This reflects a CAGR of 5%. In terms of volume, the market stood at roughly 9,621.11 kilotons in 2017, the firm said. 


The global food and beverage segment accounted for 30% share of the total consumption of the global plastic packaging in 2017. While being the largest segment by application, food and beverage is also be the fastest growing segment. Increasing consumption of dairy is noted to be a major driver and will contribute to higher demand for flexible and rigid plastic packaging.
