During the forecast period, the flexible packaging market will grow at a higher rate than the rigid packaging market, posting a CAGR of 5.1%. As the global polyethylene packaging market already accounts for more than 65% of the rigid packaging market, vendors will focus on increasing its use in flexible packaging.The shale gas development in the US will positively impact the growth of polyethylene film. This will lead to key reduction in the cost of polyethylene resin and also a reduction in the energy cost of subsequent film production. This can provide polyethylene film manufacturers with a price advantage in the range of 10%-37% depending on the region.In this report, Technavio covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global polyethylene packaging market for 2016-2020.
