The shift towards lightweight packaging aims to reduce transportation costs, improve sustainability, and enhance shelf space utilization. Pouches provide these benefits, contributing to their growing adoption.

Increasing Demand for Flexible Packaging: The global pouches market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing demand for flexible packaging solutions. Pouches offer advantages such as lightweight, convenience, easy storage, and reduced material usage compared to traditional rigid packaging formats. The shift towards flexible packaging, including pouches, is driven by consumer preferences, sustainability considerations, and cost-efficiency.

Market expansion is primarily being fueled by elements like expanding demand for the packaging form due to its low cost and great visual appeal on retail shelves, as well as rising organized retail penetration in the region. Furthermore, the demand for packaged food goods is rising, which is anticipated to fuel market expansion. This is notably true in developing nations like China, India, and Vietnam. Additionally, it is anticipated that the region's demand for pouches will be fueled by the rising consumption of packaged beverages & the strong preference for small-sized packs because of their affordability and ease of use.
