PCI pointed out that the development of the flexible packaging industry in the two major markets in Europe and America is the opposite. North America is growing faster, while Europe is slowing down. Data show that in 2013, the annual growth rate of European soft packaging market was only half that of North America. Although the annual growth rate of soft packaging demand in Russia and Poland both exceeded 5% in 2013, the number of other developed European countries was below 1.5%, which greatly reduced the demand growth rate of the whole European soft packaging market.
PCI chief market analyst said that economic, demographic, consumer preferences and living standards are the important reasons for the further expansion of the two European and American soft packaging markets. In addition, the gap is expected to widen in the next few years. Because the plastic soft packaging can meet the diversified protection requirements of the goods, it has significantly improved the shelf life of the food, and the packaging process is simple, the operation and use is convenient, the packing form with affinity, saving the packing cost and transportation cost, the low energy consumption of the resources, the environmental protection and so on. Therefore, plastic flexible packaging plays a more and more important role in many fields.
Plastic soft packaging needs differential development
With the continuous improvement of the supply capacity of the plastic soft packaging industry in China, it will provide more opportunities for the export growth of the products. In addition, with the continuous maturity of the domestic consumption market, the export market will become an important way for more enterprises to seek sustainable development.
At present, China's beverage consumption continues to rise, providing a big growth space for beverage packaging manufacturers. It is predicted that the global market value of beverage packaging will reach US $118 billion 800 million in 2017. Such a broad market prospect determines that beverage packaging must be constantly introduced in order to keep pace with the development of beverages.
Most beverage manufacturers only focus on economic benefits, while plastic handicrafts seldom consider problems from an ecological perspective. More variety of products, more different packaging, has become the development trend of the beverage industry, the development of beverage packaging machinery technology will become the ultimate driving force of this trend.
In the next 3-5 years, the beverage market will develop in the direction of the development of existing fruit juice, tea, bottled drinking water, functional beverages, and carbonated beverages, while plastic materials will develop to low sugar or sugar free beverages, as well as natural, milk, and other healthy beverages. The development trend of the product will further promote the development of packaging differentiation, such as PET aseptic cold filling packaging, HDPE milk packaging, and aseptic carton packaging. The green trend of plastic soft packaging
In the steady development of plastic soft packaging, plastic soft packaging enterprises should focus on the safety of plastic packaging. So plastic soft packaging industry can get considerable development. Although there is not a completely unified definition of green packaging, it is generally said that it can be recycled, reused or degraded, and that the appropriate packaging of the human body and environment in the whole life cycle of the product is called green packaging.
The most important meaning of green packaging is to protect the environment, and at the same time, it has the significance of resource regeneration. In its whole life cycle, green packaging follows the economic activity principle of "reduction, reuse and resource-based" in the cycle economy, which reduces the impact of packaging to the environment to a minimum.

The soft packaging industry in our country has the more emphasis on energy saving, consumption reduction, emission reduction and Enron. It is the problem that we need to keep the modified plastic God to improve the contagious title of BOPP plastic film.
