In a recently published research report by Leatherhead Food Research, 'New Directions in the Global Soft Drinks Market', overriding trend is becoming apparent in the world’s soft drinks market with the increasing overlap between sectors.

 

Leatherhead noted that the global soft drinks industry was worth $447bn in 2010, and will continue to rise in the next few years. Due to the European Debt Crisis consumer spending is modest making cheaper products in demand than higher valued sports and energy drinks. Many colas are now occupying a similar position to energy drinks, while some functional bottled waters are actively competing against sports drinks. Broadly speaking, the trend towards healthier beverages is expected to continue, says the report especially since many of the industry’s leading suppliers appear to be committed towards improving the perceived health and nutritional qualities of their drinks.

 

The global soft drinks and beverage industry continues to develop in new directions. How will the trends in the market segments influence product packaging, specifically PET demand? Aiming to offer some answers, CMT’s CAPET (Central America, Caribbean & Andean PET Bottles & Polyester Markets) on 26-27 Apr, 2012 in Panama City, PANAMA is pleased to invite and confirm Javier Artiach, Iberia & LATAM Director – Canadean to provide further insights on Trends in PET Packaging for the Water & Beverage Sector.

Venezuelan state-run petrochemical producer Pequiven plans to triple its resin production owing to considerable increase in consumption for the region. Saul Ameliach, Pequiven's president said that the producer will add resin capacity at its three manufacturing facilities situated in Venezuela and intends to start producing about 1.86 million tonnes from 694,000 tonnes/year by 2016. The facilities are engaged in production of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate and polystyrene. Venezuela’s resin demand has risen approximately 12% per year since 2005. To meet the demand Venezuela has to import 88,000 tonnes of resin. Braskem and Pequiven's PP joint venture in Paraguana is currently underway with a minimum capacity of 300,000 tonnes/year and is expected to efficiently meet dynamic market needs.

 

In light of the positive developments in the Venezuela PET market,  CMT is hosting CAPET (Central America, Caribbean & Andean PET Bottles & Polyester Markets) conference on 26-27 Apr, 2012 where expert industry players will scrutinize the PET market outlook in Central America, Carribean & Andes regions.
