Increasing demand from the emerging middle class and the growing food and beverage sectors will drive growth for plastic[plastic?:Plastic sample cutting machine] packaging[packaging?:DCP-H series packaging sample cutter plotter] in southern Africa, according to a report from Frost & Sullivan.
Growing affluence among the region’s population has “significantly spurred” growth in the plastic packaging sector, said the research from the market analysts. The plastic packaging covers linear low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, polystyrene[polystyrene?:cnc ps/polystyrene cutting machine], polypropylene[polypropylene?:flatbed digital polypropylene/pp cutting machine] and PET for the period 2006-2016 in South Africa, Botswana and Zambia.
Major drivers are said to be the continued uptake of plastic in place of traditional packaging materials and growth in the food and beverage sectors.
The general industrial use of plastic packaging has increased after the global economic downturn and is expected to sustain the demand for plastic packaging.
