World demand for aseptic packaging is projected to grow 9.1 percent per year to $35.8 billion in 2015. Advances will be driven by the increasing number of applications and the cost and convenience benefits associated with aseptic packaging (especially in terms of ambient storage and transportation). Strong growth is expected in developing countries, where the lack of a cold supply chain infrastructure will continue to fuel demand for shelf-stable products packaged aseptically. These and other trends are presented in World Aseptic Packaging, a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry market research firm.

90 packaging industry representatives and experts attended the international Aseptic Symposium by Bosch Packaging Technology, a Bosch division, in Stuttgart, Germany on 28- 29 July 2010.

The companies of the SIG Beverages Division will once again be present at BRAU Beviale in Nuremberg from 14 to 16 November.
