The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) 2016 State of the Flexible Packaging Industry Report provides industry converters, suppliers, investors and analysts with insight into the performance (growth, revenue/volume expectations, profitability, capital spending) of the US flexible packaging industry over the past year.
This definitive source of data and information also examines several other aspects of the US flexible packaging industry, including:
Materials and processes (printing, expected material usage)
End uses (end use segments, including both food and non-food)
Structure and consolidation (merger and acquisition activity)
Imports and exports
Industry issues, challenges, and vision
Data available in the report is gathered through several industry sources, including FPA members, the State of the Flexible Packaging Industry Survey, the FPA non-members Industry-Wide Converter Survey, the US Census Bureau’s latest Annual Survey of Manufacturers, US Departments of Labor and Commerce, industry analysts and consultants, investment banking reports, and the FPA long-term historical model of flexible packaging industry growth.
For 2014-2015, FPA estimates an annual growth rate of 2.2% to $31 billion in annual sales, and the 2016 forecasted growth is 2.1% to $31.6 billion. The flexible packaging industry continues as one of the fastest growing packaging segments in the US.
