In the next few years, the vast growth opportunities in the global aseptic packaging market are likely to attract new companies. Low cost of raw material and relatively cheaper labor in developing regions will naturally be the most promising locations for establishing manufacturing units. Other key vendors operating in the global aseptic packaging market include SIG Combibloc, Schott AG, Greatview Aseptic Packaging Company, and Elopak.
