Latest survey points to confidence in foodservice packaging industry for 2015
Optimism reigns despite economic and environmental challenges
Industry growth and sales in 2014 has led the foodservice packaging industry to forecast even greater optimism for 2015 than last year, according to an annual survey conducted by the Foodservice Packaging Institute (FPI, fpi.org).
Now in its 16th year, the annual State of the Industry Survey included input from foodservice packaging converters, raw material and machinery suppliers, foodservice distributors and operators. More than 60 FPI members and invited guests, including members of FPI’s sister association, Pack2Go Europe, shared their business growth successes and challenges from 2014. FPI then collected the changes to sales volume and profits, expansion and purchasing plans, opportunities and challenges.
