Technical dinner to discuss global packaging trends
A technical dinner on the 13th of April in Box Hill, Victoria, will discuss ‘Global Packaging Trends — Global Growth Markets for Packaging’.
Hosted by APPMA, in conjunction with the AIP, the evening will feature discussion of the newly released Global Packaging Trends Report — a market research study highlighting future packaging demand, product categories and opportunities for growth in packaging among fast-growing and maturing world economies.
Mark Dingley, chairman of APPMA, will highlight key trends identified in the report, including the three influencers making a mark in every region:
- Growing consumer awareness of health and wellness.
- Stronger influence of recycling and environmental issues.
- Increasing disposable income and purchasing power.
Other regional trends to be addressed include the continued popularity of flexible plastics and the fast-growing market for PET bottles.
