In the coming years, according to MarketLine data, the growth trend is expected to remain between 3.8% and 4.4%, varying depending on the type of packaging. This applies to both the raw material from which the packaging was made and the intended use of the packaging itself.

Environmental concerns are affecting the demand for packaging made from ecological raw materials. Thus, the forecasted growth of paper and cardboard, metal and glass packaging are expected to rise with CAGRs of 3.6%, 3.7% and 3% respectively over the 2017-2022 period.

The positive dynamics of the development of the rigid and flexible plastic packaging market can also be noted.
