| 从2011年到2013年，全球对食品容器的需求预计每年将每年增加3.8％，2013年达到124美元。根据Freedonia的报告，导致包装需求增加的因素包括全球粮食生产的增长消费者倾向于选择预包装食物的快速生活方式改变的结果。此外，人口结构的变化将继续对含食物的需求产生重大影响。例如，由于餐食的准备时间有限，以及方便起见，由于饮食时间有限以及收益，城市人口增长的百分比和工作妇女人数增加将导致食用预包装的食品的含量增加。由可生物降解材料制成的包装将迅速而强烈开发，但是由于容器制造商的压力很大，因此从低水平开始，从而减少了产品对环境的影响。通常，包装袋和小袋仍将是由于公共水平而量最大的产品，对该产品的支持是塑料的连续开发，其空气阻塞和功能的特殊性增加了其价值，例如在微波炉中使用的袋子和可重新密封的垂直袋。对手袋和小袋子的需求将受益于环境友好产品的形象，它们通常与减少容器数量的努力相结合。此外，与刚性容器相比，包装袋和小袋的成本优势，尤其是在重量较轻（节省运输成本），尺寸较小（存储空间）以及对生产过程中较低能源的需求方面的成本优势将有助于制造商提高盈利能力。 Experts can predict plastic container will gain profit most quickly, based on performance improvements as well as cost advantage compared to metal and glass packing. However, metal packaging remains an important part in the food container segment due to the economic advantages of canned food items in the control of expenditure for food. Meanwhile, traditional glass materials have an advantage in small containers with wide mouth commonly used for children's food; however, plastic packaging are penetrating in this field because of the improvements and bettering of the air barrier property, capability and structure in packing hot food in containers. Furthermore, heavier weight of glass packaging compared to plastic packaging will continue to limit the application of this package, especially for the export market due to transportation costs increased. While so far the U.S. has been a nation with the largest number of consumers using canned food in the world; fastest benefits will occur in the developing world. In Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and Middle East regions, the development level will exceed the global average. The growth in population and urbanization is higher (except Eastern Europe); the trend of industrialization, the expansion of international trade will help improve the packaging field of the underdeveloped areas in general. The increase in income level of consumers and expansion of middle class will also create strong internal demand for packaged consumer goods such as processed foods and promote the consumption of food containers. The best income for the food packaging industry is expected to be from a number of countries with remarkable large markets such as Brazil, Russia, India and China. In particular, China alone is expected to account for more than one fifth of the global value of demand for food containers from 2008 to 2013. 根据另一份报告由公司Freedonia、食品容器demand in the US is projected to reach US$27 bln in 2015, forecast to increase 3% pa. Advances will be driven by growth in population and disposable income, new product introductions of convenience-oriented foods, and technological advances related to barrier properties, aesthetics and consumer convenience. Demographic trends, such as smaller household sizes, the ageing of the population and high numbers of households where all adults work, will boost consumption of convenience-type foods, which tend to use more packaging relative to their volume. Unit expansion will be aided by the popularity of single serving packaging, such as plastic cups and pouches, in an increasing range of applications, with such formats increasingly chosen to meet consumer demand for food products offering convenience and portability. Plastic containers, and bags and pouches will experience the fastest growth among food container types, often supplanting paperboard, metal and glass containers. Gains for plastic containers will be attributable to advantages over glass, metal and paperboard alternatives, as well as improved resin and processing technologies. Continued opportunities are anticipated for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and jars in hot-fill uses such as sauces and condiments, processed fruits and vegetables, and jams and jellies. Additionally, advances in the area of panel-less PET hot-fill bottle construction will continue to increase the design flexibility of PET food bottles, enabling improved aesthetics and the achievement of an appearance more like that of glass bottles. Advances for bags and pouches will be the result of cost and performance advantages that will enable continued inroads into rigid packaging applications. Moreover, advantages of bags and pouches in terms of source reduction, space savings and lower production and shipping costs will fuel continued opportunities as procurement decisions by major retailers and packaged goods firms increasingly take into account factors that improve sustainability. Though growth for paperboard containers will lag the overall food container market due to the presence of mature applications and losses to bags and pouches, prospects will be helped by favorable graphics qualities; enhancements such as higher wet strength and moisture resistance; and the capability to improve microwave oven performance in certain uses. Additionally, industry initiatives promoting paper as a renewable resource will raise awareness of paper�s environmentally friendly qualities. Aseptic cartons will log robust gains as a result of expanding use in soups and canned specialties, and sauces and condiments, often at the expense of metal cans. Metal can demand is expected to experience further unit declines as a result of supplantation by alternative container types. Nonetheless, cans will remain an important segment of the food container mix due to their long shelf life, efficiency of production and the economic advantages of canned items in controlling food expenditures. Increased demand is anticipated for cans with convenience factors such as easy-open and reseals able tops, as well as nontraditional can types such as retort able aluminum bowls and shaped cans. Aseptic cartons will gain ground against metal cans in uses such as soups and canned specialties, and sauces and condiments. |
