9. The 20 Leading Packaging Companies 2014:
Competitive Landscape Analysis
increase in sales revenue is expected. The company is likely to benefit from continued growth in
emerging markets as well as recent acquisitions and ongoing cost improvement and restructuring
programmes. The developed economies will hopefully become stronger in the near future. Amcor’s
innovation capability and its emphasis in sustainable packaging put the company in the leading
position to adapt to the future trend towards consumer and environment friendly packaging.
As for the next few years, visiongain expects increasing presence of Amcor in emerging markets,
as well as better performance in developed regions. Growth will be further fuelled when the recent
acquisitions pay off. The acquisition of Aperio and Detmold will support the growth in Australia.
Other factors driving sales include planned new tobacco packaging plant in Indonesia, better
business performance in New Zealand, and the non-repeatable US bad weather condition from
2014.

The political stability in the areas that Crown Holdings operates in can largely affect the company’s
operational results. The Middle East, one of the company’s target markets, has long raising
concerns regarding doing businesses there, due to the greater political and economic volatility.
Other political factors include regulations regarding M&A, taxes, asbestos and pensions. Crown
Holding’s recent acquisition of Mivisa Envases, SAU was reviewed by the European Commission
