Over the next six months, packaging companies are looking to expand their business operations in the existing markets to reap benefits such as diversification, economies of scale, and easy availability of finance, due to which expansion in the current markets and new product development are expected to become major priorities in H1 2017 (Jun 2017-Nov 2017). Packaging industry executives are confident about emerging markets such as China and India, and developed markets, namely the US and Germany, contributing significant growth towards the packaging industry during H1 2017.
