Food market is growing, so good news for the packaging

There is no market segment that is not growing, looking at European and global food data. Starting from rice and cereals, for example, the EU market sees a CAGR forecast of + 1.7% in the period 2021-2025, strengthened to 2.8% if we look at the world market, confirmed by a solid + 2.3 in Italy. A consistent trend, albeit with less significant performances, for sugar and coffee. On the first front, in fact, + 1.4% in Europe was added to + 1.2% worldwide and a more contained + 0.3% in Italy. Similar values for coffee, which will experience a +1.8% growth on a global scale, reduced, but with a positive sign, to +1.2 in Europe and +1.1 in the Italian market (Source: Ipack Ima Business Monitor in cooperation with MECS).
