    Asia-Pacific Packaging Industry

    [IMAGE][IMAGE]

    Packaging is a US$260 billion industry across East Asia. Whilst Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and Australia dominate supply and demand, recent large investments in production capacity in Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan have significantly increased this region's share of world packaging output.

    Despite currency volatility in Asia, packaging demand is projected by SIRA to increase by around 4.7 percent compound per annum over the period 1997-2003. The Japanese and Korean markets are, however forecast to record annual growth of less than 1 percent over this time period.

    China is one of the most interesting packaging markets in the region. So far virtually unscathed by regional turmoil, its packaging industry is forecast to expand output by almost 9 percent in 1998. Most of the new production is focused on plastic film and bottles, as well as some strong paperboard gains. Glass production is expanding at a slower rate and only due to increased beer output. Canned products may actually decline for the first time this year, as a result of materials substitution mostly by plastics.

    Key strategic issues remain in the Asia-Pacific region and SIRA is very active in providing the hard data, analysis and advice (here are some sample requests on packaging issues sent to SIRA.
