Industry figures in this book are based on both member and nonmember surveys and other original research. Composite data from the FPA member's State of the Industry Survey and the nonmember Industry-Wide Converter Survey, identified about $15.0 billion in flexible packaging sales in an industry estimated to have total sales of about $26.5 billion. These impressive results add significant credibility to the data and conclusions within the State of the Industry Report.
