Leading consultants, PCI Films Consulting Ltd. predict a steep rise in world production capacity of BOPP film by 2012.  Recent research into this market suggests investment into the Chinese BOPP film market is the main reason for this increase.

It is thought that demand growth in Eastern Europe will rapidly absorb most of its new capacity, and therefore, there is a strong case for additional capacity in this region in the future.  The same scenario is developing in India.

The growth in world-wide sales of packaged foods was highlighted as one of the main reasons for the increase in BOPP film demand.

PCI’s recently published report ‘WORLD BOPP FILM MARKET TRENDS 2007’ reviews the world BOPP film market from the manufacturing process right through to end use markets.  This comprehensive insight into world demand and capacity will give companies and investors within the industry critical information at a time when change is expected.
