Plastic Cosmetics Containers to See the Most Growth

According to The Freedonia Group, demand for plastic cosmetic and toiletry containers in the U.S. is projected to increase 1.6% per year to 17.6 billion units in 2020. Growth will largely result from oral care and cosmetics segments. Other factors include plastic’s performance characteristics and cost. However, the report notes that competition from glass and metal containers will remain strong in a number of applications, particularly where a more upscale or distinctive image is desired.
