• In soft drinks, PET bottles led growth in 2016, with total unit volume sales rising by 10% as manufacturers responded to consumer demand by shifting away from less convenient glass bottles.
  • In hot drinks, rigid plastic was the fastest growing packaging format in 2016. Despite consumer price consciousness, there is still a niche market for premium hot drinks, which fuelled growth within rigid plastic in 2016, particularly in PET jars.
  • In alcoholic drinks, glass bottles remain the dominant packaging type, sustained by strong demand for domestically produced beer and spirits.
  • Large pack sizes, particularly in beer and wine, are becoming more prominent in the Philippines. In beer, for example, imported premium lager, which is traditionally only available in 330ml glass bottles and metal beverage cans, can now be found in larger pack sizes.
