Packaging & container industry
Article Abstract:
A double-digit growth rate is expected for the packaging and container industry through the end of 1998 as most product lines are selling well. The need to expand market share and enhance profitability by these companies has made consolidation a major industry trend in the 1990s, and there are sales opportunities for the industry in overseas markets. Several of these stocks have good long-term potential, although the industry has average timeliness.

Packaging & container industry
Article Abstract:
Excess supply, weak demand, and higher raw material costs are affecting the packaging and container industry. This situation is not likely to improve, since low demand does not allow these companies to pass costs on. The need for capital gains, growth, and keeping the US glass manufacturing business alive will encourage more consolidation. These stock prices have declined 10% since Jul 1995 and long-term industry prospects are not good.
