From 2007 to 2015, U.S. plastic bottle imports showed mixed dynamics. A slight drop in 2009 was followed by steady growth through to 2015, slightly decelerating by the end of the period. In 2010, U.S. plastic bottle importers overtook the pre-recession import level achieved in 2007.
Supported by a strong pace of import growth, the U.S. continues to be one of the biggest markets for global exporters.
In 2015, Canada and China were the main suppliers of plastics bottles to the U.S., together making up 65% of U.S. imports. From 2007 to 2015, China had the highest growth rates of imports, with a CAGR of +11.2%, while imports from Canada posted only modest growth by +1.4% per year.
China significantly strengthened its position in the U.S. import structure from 20% in 2007 to 31% in 2015, while Canada saw its share reduced from 44% to 34%. The shares of the other countries remained relatively stable throughout the analysed period.
From 2007 to 2015, the U.S. was a net importer of plastic bottle. Net U.S. imports displayed an upward trend since 2009. In 2015, this industry ran a significant trade deficit of 275 million USD. This deficit could grow substantially in the years to come, driven by negative trend of exports.
