This is the 5th edition authoritative report on the global market for single-serve capsules.

The study gathers production details on a site-by-site basis and these building blocks create an analysis of demand. The interview programme questions producers and users on demand drivers within their specific market areas.

It provides a detailed overview of the single-serve capsules systems available on the market and maps out the supply chain in the major end-use geographies. The supply of empty capsules was assessed based on production technologies available as well as materials used. The analysis includes growth drivers, inter-material competition, changing requirements, value-chain positioning and the key issues.

The critical driver of change in this industry is newly adopted regulatory framework in the EU (i.e. PPWR), that is influencing material specification as well as system innovation.
