Global Packaging To Reach $82 Billion In 2021 The retail-ready packaging market will reach $82.0 billion by 2021, according to new research from Smithers Pira.The rise is based on a 4 percent annual growth from $62.8 billion in 2015. The areas with highest rate of expansion are Asia-Pacific and Africa, which currently boast 6 percent annual growth. “Shorter print runs are seen as a key factor driving the retail-ready packaging (RRP) market, as more re- tailers and brand owners are looking to promotional marketing to boost sales,” said Stephen Harrod, au- thor of the Smithers report.“These promotions result in unpredictable demand for packaging in general – including RRPs – creating a premium on short runs and quick response to orders.” Roll-To-Roll Printing Market To Reach $27 Billion By 2024 Roll-to-Roll Printing Market size was valued at around $14.5 billion in 2015 and may reach $27.1 billion from 2016 to 2024, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 14 percent, according to a new report from Global Market Insights.
