Area arrayed devices that have demonstrated better device performances have begun to increasingly depend on SMT processes for their bumping requirements, enabling closer integration between semiconductor packaging and SMT assembly. • Plastic Performance Escalates Growth of Food and Beverage Packaging Markets in Brazil & Mexico – December 2006 Consumers, producers, and distributors in the Brazilian and Mexican food and beverage packaging market are increasingly opting for plastics. Plastic’s appeal mainly stems from its ability to increase shelf life of packaging food and offer cost savings on transport due to its lightweight. • Spotlight on Pharmaceutical Packaging: Essential Tool to Build & Sustain Brand Identity – September 2007 In the recent past there has been a growing demand for novel packaging methods for the fast growing pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical packaging demands high standards such as, user safety, preservation, hygiene, packaging differentiation and efficiency. There is a strong and increasing demand for innovative packaging in the retail sector for pharmaceuticals. Chemical resistance, transparency and toughness of packaging enhance safety and efficiency of the drugs. • U.S. Plastics in Flexible Food Packaging Markets – June 2006 The flexible plastic food packaging market is a highly competitive market with $ 11.48 billion in revenues in 2005. The market has over 100 competitors. Bags, thermoformed products, films and wraps, pouches and lids are some of the flexible packages that are used in food packaging.

The following is a sample of the reports available through Mintel for the packaging industry: • Food and Drink Packaging Trends: The Impact on Sales, Ireland - September 2007 Many innovations in the food and drink packaging industry are emerging to address increasingly stringent regulations and the deepening urgency over environmental concerns. With Ireland’s landfill sites at near saturation point, the core message of ‘get green or pay the price’ from the government and pressure groups seems to have hit home with the Irish consumer according to a recent TGI survey. Results revealed that 39% of RoI and 34% of NI consumers aged 15+ agreed that they are prepared to pay a higher price for environmentally friendly products – percentages that will undoubtedly increase with time. • Food Packaging – UK – May 2006 In 2005, the food packaging market was worth an estimated £3.9 billion at manufacturer selling price, marking growth of 7% since 2000. Growing concern for the amount of rubbish going into landfill sites is prompting a more responsible approach to packaging from households and industry alike which is not only encouraging innovation in the materials used, but is also witnessing a marked increase in the use of reusable packaging. SNAPDATA REPORTS (www.snapdata.com) Snapdata provide market research overviews for a wide range of markets, indicating statistics for market size, shares, distribution and forecasts.
