Posted: Apr 25, 2019
The demand in the global aluminum foil packaging market is anticipated to increment at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. This prosperity of the market for aluminum foil packaging is a reflection of a number of factors, such as high preference for convenience packaging, growing demand for extended shelf-life of packaged food, popularity of ready-to-eat meals and processed food, and growing usage in pharmaceutical products and confectionaries. On the other hand, the lack of proper recycling processes in a number of countries and competition from alternatives are a few obstructions faced by the global aluminum foil packaging market.
Nevertheless, growing emphasis on ecofriendly packaging and foray by the key companies in the emerging economies is expected to open new opportunities in the aluminum foil packaging market.
