Survey shows continued growth in foodservice packaging
About 57% of respondents experienced growth in volume, and nearly 60% reported profit growth in 2015.
Last year’s growth and sales has led the foodservice packaging industry to forecast continued confidence for 2016 despite familiar challenges, according to Foodservice Packaging Institute’s (FPI) 17th annual State of the Industry Survey.
FPI’s survey included input from raw material and machinery suppliers, converters and foodservice distributors and operators. More than 65 FPI members and invited guests shared business growth successes and challenges from 2015. FPI then collected the changes to sales volume and profits, expansion and purchasing plans, opportunities and challenges.
