PLASTICS & PACKAGING MONITOR SEPTEMBER 2013 INSIDE THIS ISSUE Top News in PLASTICS & PACKAGING August 30, 2013 – Global demand for thermoplastic elastomers is projected to rise 5.5% annually, reaching more than $20 billion in 2017, according to a new study from The Freedonia Group. Growth is expected to be driven by product innovation that will allow thermoplastic elastomers to replace more traditionally used elastomers and thermoplas- tics. Weight reduction and improved fuel economy in new vehicles is expected to be a major driver of thermoplastic elastomer growth as well. The study cites that China will remain the world’s largest consumer of thermoplastic elastomers by volume and is ex- pected to see more than 8% growth in demand annually. Styrenic block copolymers are projected to remain the leading thermoplastic elastomer product type; however, growth in styrenic block copolymers are expected to be slower than the overall average for ther- moplastic elastomers. August 21, 2013 – Australia-based Amcor Ltd. (ASX:AMC) announced its plans to split into two separate publicly traded companies: Amcor Ltd. and Australasian and Pack- aging Distribution Ltd. (AAPD). Amcor will retain its plastics divisions while AAPD will contain the fiber, glass, and beverage can packaging operations in Australia and New Zealand, and Amcor’s packaging distribution operations in North America and Australia. The split will allow Amcor to focus on rigid and flexible plastics and tobacco packaging, its core business, while AAPD, with approximately $1.8 billion in revenue, will be posi- tioned to experience significant cost savings over the next three years. August 14, 2013 – Klockner Pentaplast Group, a global manufacturer of films, appears to be for sale just a year after being acquired by Greenwich, CT-based PE firm Strategic Value Partners Investment Group. Bloomberg News reported that Strategic Value Part- ners was working with investment bankers to find a buyer for the company. Headquar- tered in Montabaur, Germany, Klockner Pentaplast employs over 3,000 people across 17 plants worldwide and generated sales of nearly $1.6 billion during its most recent fiscal year. Klockner Pentaplast is considered to be the world’s largest producers of films for pharmaceutical, medical device, food, electronics, and general-purpose thermoformed packaging. The company also makes film for printing and specialty applications. August 12, 2013 – Worldwide demand for medical device packaging is projected to rise 5.9% per year to reach $25.7 billion in 2017, according to a new study from The Freedo- nia Group. The study cites the fastest growing medical device packaging markets will emerge in prosperous Africa and Middle-East countries, as well as India, Mexico, and China due to diversification, expansion, and stricter regulation of medical product in- dustries raising the quality of containers and related accessories. Western Europe, the United States, and Japan, representing 60% of the total market, are expected to experi- ence below average growth amid stiff competition and pressure to contain healthcare costs. Pouches and trays are expected to lead sales growth followed by sales of multiple compartment trays, blister packs, and clamshell packs, which are expected to experi- ence above average growth in the coming years. August 7, 2013 – According to the German-based research firm Ceresana Research, global demand for plastic film will reach 71 million metric tons by 2020, representing an annual compound growth rate of 3.7%. Demand for plastic film is expected to be driven by the wide variety of applications as well as the many advantages that plastic films of- fer compared to flexible packaging derived from materials such as paper or aluminum foil. The food & beverage sector is expected to outpace growth in all other end markets due to increasing global demand for portable food products. The plastic film market is also expected to diversify over the next decade, as BOPP and PET films are growing due to their use in high-quality packaging; films based on polyethylene (LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE) currently account for nearly three quarters of the plastic film market. Markets in Asia, South America, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe will show the most dynamic growth and China and India will account for a third of the market by 2020, according to the report.
