About this Report

2011 is providing more resilient performance for all beverage packaging materials as economies recover from the downturn. PET bottles hold greatest volume growth potential of all pack formats, extending their presence in soft drinks, deriving gains from health-aligned consumer intake of juices and RTD tea and through more niche avenues in wine and spirits. Emerging Asia and Latin America markets present strongest opportunities for packagers, with China and India to head up global growth to 2014.
