Market dynamics
4 factors across 3 forcesRising Demand for Packaged Food & Beverage Products
Over the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in the production and consumption of packaged foods globally. The demand for packaged food is growing rapidly due to increasing urbanization and growth in the working population with busy schedules. In addition, the demand for non-alcoholic drinks, such as bottled water, milk, soft drinks, energy drinks, and carbonated drinks, is also growing rapidly.
Stand-up pouches are tightly sealable pouches that are ideal for storing food and beverages due to their stability and barrier properties. Stand-up pouches are becoming an increasingly popular choice among brand owners for a wide range of products. They are an excellent alternative to other traditional packaging options, such as cardboard boxes, plastic pots, tubs, and glass jars, and offer many unique benefits.
Therefore, consumers’ dynamic lifestyles and the consequent dependence on packaged food & beverages are also driving the sales of beverage packaging products such as stand-up pouches.
Increasing Demand for Flexible Packaging Solutions
Flexible packaging is any packaging or packaging part whose shape can readily be changed during filling or use. Flexible packaging is produced from paper, plastic, film, aluminum foil, or a combination of these materials and includes bags, pouches, liners, wraps, roll stock, and other flexible products.
The increasing demand for Fast-moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), the growth in E-commerce and food delivery services, the rising consumer focus on convenience and sustainability, increasing food losses and waste, and the need to reduce packaging material usage are key factors driving the demand for flexible packaging. Thus, the increasing demand for flexible packaging solutions is expected to drive the stand-up pouches market during the forecast period.
