About this Report

About this Report

Liquid cartons have made steady progress over the last five years, and are forecast to rise in importance. Usage continues to widen; however, it is the carton’s strength in two key categories, soft drinks and milk, which drives volumes, with much of the growth centred on Asia-Pacific. Standard brick cartons dominate, but it is the innovative use of shaped cartons that will be fundamental to future growth. Furthermore, carton use is benefiting from a strong, developing eco-friendly reputation.
