By: Sunil Nair US produce packaging demand to exceed $4.3 billion in 2010 Demographic trends and a favorable outlook for consumer spending will also fuel gains. Corrugated boxes will remain leading format type Corrugated boxes will remain the leading produce packaging format based on advantages of low cost, light weight, good protective performance, high stacking strength, graphic capabilities and recyclability. The rising presence of higher value modular systems like Corrugated Common Footprint (CCF) products will also support demand growth. Reusable plastic containers (RPCs) will log solid value advances, aided by compatibility with CCF systems and rising use by retailers for specific applications where reusable containers can be advantageous. While still carrying only a fraction of produce volume in the US, RPCs have gained a significant presence in the shipping and display of fresh produce as a result of extensive usage by Wal-Mart. Bags and liners will post above-average advances, led by robust growth for plastic bags with bagged salads and other ready-to-eat produce. In addition, the prevalence of value-added modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) films, offering extended shelf life for bags of ready-to-eat and other produce, will stimulate gains. Demand for mesh, paper and textile bags will climb at a slower pace due to loss of share to plastics. Salad projected as fastest growing application Through 2010, salad will be the fastest growing produce packaging application. Robust growth will be based on healthy sales increases for bagged and other ready-to-eat salads, both in retail and foodservice channels. Above-average advances for melon applications will result from strong growth for precut fruit, which frequently contains various types of melon. Growers and shippers will remain the leading end-users of produce packaging and packaging to this segment will benefit from robust expansion for freshcut produce. Repacker prospects will be driven by opportunities for customized prepackaging as retailers shift away from in-store produce repackaging.
