Did you know?
Traditional sectors are in decline – but are being replaced
As digital technologies become cheaper, the use of BOPET film for imaging and graphics has dwindled over the last two decades. In medical imaging, laser-film technology means x-rays can be printed without the need for dark rooms and chemicals to develop film. Overall though, the global thick film market (50 micron and over) continues to grow – due to increased demand for film coverings of flat-screen televisions and solar panels.
Companies are caught in two minds over sustainability
Major converters of packaging are hesitating over making large investments due to the risk of ‘backing the wrong horse’ and making a wrong decision that could take many years to unwind. Our research showed a high level of interest in making packaging more sustainable – with numerous trials and pilot schemes either live or in the pipeline – but so far very few bulk orders.
Dramatic changes in Russia
The Russia and Caspian region has historically relied on imports to meet demand but is now seeing a distinct drive across the packaging supply chain to replace imports with domestic production. Uflex is moving a line from its plant in the United Arab Emirates to Russia. Significant new capacity is expected to come onstream during 2020.
