1. First priority is to meet the needs of your clients and consumers.

a. Business model of simple production and supply has already ended. As more and more people in the world are becoming richer and their life style is changing , their needs for products are becoming more diverse and demanding.

b. What is Important is that the product stands out at the store and the product information is clearly described on the face of the package so that the consumers can understand the product well.

c. Thus, what is necessary is to arrange the package design and size in accordance with the situation that consumers eat or drink the product . Production capacity also needs to match the demand.

1. Retort soup is already being exported from South Africa to Europe. 2. Food in retort pouches can be more widely exported. (Stand-up Pouch & Microwavable Pouch with self-venting) 3. Investigate market of export destination (types of food favored, quantity per pouch) 4. Easy-open pouches will be increasingly important. (Accessible design) 5. In cases of long term preservation such as 5 years, packaging material with aluminum foil is used, and normally, either material with aluminum foil or clear high-barrier is selected depending on the product.

About 300 billion packs were filled using aseptic filling worldwide in 2012. Milk and other dairy products, fruit juice, nectar, juices, tea, and other beverages are the major market, and there is also market for soups, sauces, tomato products, and baby food. More than 30 companies in 35 countries around the world provide aseptic filling systems. Further growth is also expected in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.

Market scale---Global Aseptic Packaging Market

86 billion liters, 187 billion items (2008) 113 billion liters, 265 billion items (2013) ----- Zenith International and packaging experts Warrick Research

The quantity has grown at an annual rate of 6%, and 13% in Asia. - The market is largest in West Europe and Asia. Particularly in West Europe, there was a marked growth for PET bottles for beverages. There is a demand for containers with added value. The total cost and profit of operations and the flexibility of the system are essential.

Milk and milk beverages: 45%, Liquid paper containers: 75% share

Pouches and PET bottles are growing, and this trend is expected to continue for a while.

Aseptic filling system: More than 11,000 in operation with systems supplied by more than 30 companies. 16

2-2-2 Global expansion of asepsis packaging technology and expansion of target products (1)Spreading of beverages (2)Spreading of processed food and chilled distribution (3)Spreading of dairy products

Aseptic and Asepsis packaging market is expanding steadily in the global market for beverages, food, pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.

The global aseptic filling packaging is forecast to grow to a $35.8 billion industry with an annual growth rate of 9.1% by 2015. (35.8 billion dollars = Approx. 3 trillion yen) Expansion of uses (1/2 of total is for beverages and in addition to beverages and food, it can also be used for bio pharmaceutical products.)

Superior cost effectiveness (store at room temperature, room temperature distribution) Convenience Growth in Asia, Brazil, and developing countries
