摘要

The global rigid plastic packaging market is forecast to expand by an average of 5.8% per year over the next five years, reaching USD 226.4 bn (EUR 201.6 bn) by 2020, according to a new report from Smithers Pira (Leatherhead / UK; www. smitherspira.com). The segment has been expanding mainly as a result of growing demand in emerging markets, at the expense of traditional pack types such as glass bottles and jars, liquid cartons and metal cans.
