The Impact of India, China, & The Far East As World-class Package Manufacturers & Exporters

Heavy investment in latest-generation equipment, processes, and skills development has spurred the dramatic migration of package and consumer goods manufacturing to China, India, and 14 other countries in the Far East.

This first-of-its-kind global business intelligence report pinpoints the tactics, technologies, package materials, and markets China, India, and 14 developing manufacturing economies are targeting in their quest to become world-class producers. It provides fact-based timetables for when the world can expect "spill-over" of excess capacity — and what the impact of exports will mean to the current and projected global balance in packaging and consumer goods production.

Buyers of this report will receive a free copy of Assistant U.S. Secretary of Commerce Al Frink's address regarding the loss of competitiveness among consumer packaged goods producers and their key suppliers in the $120 billion North American packaging industry to an emerging contingent of offshore consumer goods and packaging powerhouse economies.
