Pouches for Pets a Top Subject at the Upcoming Global Pouch Forum
Fast-growing flex pack segment headlines wide-ranging program at Global Pouch Forum.
Given the love that Americans have for their pets, it should come as no surprise that this affection is a major driver in the growth of pouch packaging for food and treats that indulge their animals. While many may not immediately connect these two facts, the relationship will be clarified for attendees of the upcoming Global Pouch Forum, to be held June 13-15 at the Intercontinental Miami in Miami, Florida.
As the keynote speaker at the Global Pouch Forum—now in its 21st year as the flexible packaging industry’s premier conference—Eric Koppelman, chief revenue officer of Blue Dog Bakery (bluedogbakery.com) will explain the impact that flexible packaging is having on the pet care industry. A recent study by the Freedonia Group (freedoniagroup.com) pegs the U.S. pet food packaging market at about $2.5 billion and forecasts annual growth at more than 4 percent, with pouches as the fastest-growing segment of the market.
