The fastest growth is anticipated for stretch hoods due to their costadvantages, high throughput rates andexcellent load integrity and weatherprotection. Stretch film advances willresult from advantages in energy andlabor savings. Demand for shrink film willgrow 4.2 percent annually to 970 millionin 2015. Advances will be promoted byshrink film’s high clarity and excellentprint capabilities, greatly enhancingproduct marketability. In particular,growth will be aided by increased use inlabels. Shrink film also provides a betterseal and moisture barrier than stretchfilm, and is frequently used in conjunction with corrugated trays as a caseoverwrap. Shrink film is well-suited forcovering heavy, non-uniform pallet loadssuch as heavy equipment or bricks dueto its higher puncture resistance andability to help maintain load integrity.Storage and distributionmarket to grow the fastestStorage and distribution markets forstretch and shrink film will increase 3.9percent per year to 1.3 billion in 2015,accounting for 54 percent of the total.Advances will be stimulated by increasing retail trade and industrial activity, aswell as export markets. The primarygrowth driver will be pallet wrap, due toits competitive advantages over strapping, tape and other bulk unitizationmethods. Product packaging demandwill rise 2.8 percent annually to 1.1billion in 2015, stimulated by growingretail trade and concomitant needs forproduct packaging for food, beverage,consumer and other items.Copyright 2011 The Freedonia Group, Inc.Click here to purchase onlinePage Order now, click here!
