Gains will be supported by continued use of case-ready packaging systems in the fresh meat sector and the greater need for the high-performance packaging that is used in these systems. A better outlook for beef and pork production as a result of such factors as population expansion, lower meat prices, and the alignment of some meat products with healthy, natural eating trends will also bolster advances for meat packaging. Additionally, shrinking household sizes will drive meat processors to lower package weights, thus increasing volume demands for packaging overall.
