Beverage Containers in China

SUMMARY

Chinese demand for beverage containers to increase 8.5% annually through 2010

Chinese demand for beverage containers is projected to post annual gains of 8.5 percent and reach 201 billion units in 2010, valued at nearly \106 billion. Packaged beverage consumption growth, and hence related container sales, will be driven by healthy growth in consumer spending; growing interest in enhanced or functional beverages and beverages that may have possible health benefits; rising safety concerns over unpackaged distilled spirits and ricewines; and continued high levels of new product introductions accompanied by aggressive marketing campaigns. Container demand will advance in line with packaged beverage production, with average container size expected to decline slightly, a result of an ongoing shift toward 600-millimeter or smaller-sized single-serving containers.

Plastic containers to remain dominant in unit terms

Plastic containers will continue to represent the largest segment of the beverage container market, accounting for nearly half of beverage container demand in China in 2010. Advances will be fueled by robust prospects for plastic containers used for milk packaging, based on the expanding customer base and growing popularity of flavored milk. Best opportunities will result from the ongoing proliferation of smaller single-serving PET carbonated soft drink bottles. While bottles will continue to dominate the plastic beverage container mix, more rapid growth is anticipated for plastic pouches. Supported by such advantages as reduced material consumption and portability, more beverages are being converted to pouch packaging, stimulated by a widening array of product offerings.
