Packaging Coatings Market To Grow 1.9 Percent Through 2020, the market for packaging coatings is expected to increase 1.9 percent per year to 60 mil- lion gallons, according to a new report from The Freedonia Group. Gains will represent a strong accel- eration in growth compared with the 2010-2015 per- formance, in which demand was nearly flat. Demand for packaging coatings will match gains in packaging shipments through 2020, although coating requirements will be limited to some degree by the utilization of more efficient coatings and application technologies. However, coatings demand will benefit from healthy growth in paper packaging shipments.
