This report covers the print for packaging market over the period 2017– 2027. It explores the restraining factors in play, including the increasing demand for more sustainable packaging; this will alter patterns of demand between packaging materials, as well as restraining overall demand in the market to some extent. The market will grow over the coming five years, underpinned by deep-rooted drivers: global population increase, the increasing rate of global urbanisation, the growing global middle-class consumers and the rising number of one-person households, which drives demand for smaller pack sizes.
