Having enjoyed many years of strong growth, the market for BOPP film is experiencing an increasingly challenging business environment. While demand growth has been strong resulting in a market of nearly 5 million tonnes globally for 2008, there has been over-investment in new capacity, especially in China resulting in persistent oversupply and exacerbating problems of weak pricing and poor returns. At the same time the more established markets in Japan, North America and Europe are seeing growth rates move more into line with GDP growth reflecting the high penetration BOPP film has achieved and the increasing maturity of the market leading to rationalisation and reorganisation in these markets. BOPP Film 2009 will provide an ideal forum for the industry to debate and discuss these issues and get expert opinions on future market trends.
AMI is pleased to announce that the next edition of the BOPP Film conference will be held in the world's largest and most dynamic BOPP film market: China. The event will take place at The Presidential Beijing Hotel, in Beijing from the 16th to 18th June 2009. "Research from the 2007 event in Dubai revealed a strong interest from delegates to move the event back to China," commented AMI Conference Manager, Becky Merriott. "We expect to attract delegates from throughout the region, as well film producers from the Middle-East, Europe and North America, looking to find out what is happening in the market."
Since the first AMI BOPP film conference in 2002, the event has grown rapidly to become the leading global event for the industry. An international audience of 200+ delegates is anticipated and most of the world's leading BOPP film producers will be there. As in previous years the event will be sponsored by the two leading suppliers of BOPP film lines: Brückner and DMT, with additional sponsorship from Atlas Converting Equipment and Goebel Schneid-und Wickelsysteme.
Special early-bird delegate rates are available.
