Globally, controlled packaging accounted for the highest revenue within the advanced packaging market followed by active packaging. Controlled packaging is expected to reach $19.8 billion and about $22.6 billion in 2015 and 2020, respectively, at a five-year CAGR of 2.2%. Active packaging, the second-largest segment and fast-growing with a 2.5% CAGR, should grow to nearly $13.2 billion by 2020.
The packaging market is a dynamic market that depends mostly on innovations and advancements.
