CLEVELAND, Aug. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh food container demand in the US is projected to increase 3.7% per year to $1.1 billion in 2022. The trends toward snacking and healthy eating will drive gains, as pre-made meals and snacks in food retail outlets allow consumers to eat fresh food quickly and easily. This and other trends are presented in Food Containers in the US, 11th Edition, a new study from The Freedonia Group, a Cleveland-based industry research firm.

Dairy product containers will account for largest share of sales growth through 2022. The continued popularity of single-serving dairy containers and increasing popularity of specific yogurt segments will support gains. Plastic bottles will see especially strong growth due to the increasing consumption of various non-dairy creamers, as consumers look to create coffee shop flavors at home.

The perishable prepared foods market will see the fastest fresh food container gains through 2022. Consumers' desire for convenience will boost demand, as rigid tubs, clamshells, and bowls are ideal containers for cut and peeled fruit, prepared sandwiches, and pre-mixed salads.
