Flexible Frozen Food Packaging - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 4107 | Published: 02/2021 | Pages: 95 | Individual User License: US$ 2,900

Through 2024, demand for flexible frozen food packaging is forecast to rise 3.6% per year to $3.2 billion. Advances will be supported by:

  • rising demand for convenient frozen foods and expanding availability of innovative flavors and styles, including premium options and more packaging-intensive single-serving items that support portion control
  • the expanding use of lighter weight flexible packaging rather than rigid packaging in a number of frozen food applications due its source reduction and performance advantages
  • continued widespread use of bags, lidding, and wrap with rigid packaging in many frozen food applications

Additionally, 2020 sales will be bolstered by a spike in at-home frozen food purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic due to surging grocery sales amid reduced foodservice activity and increased consumer stockpiling of nonperishable foods.

Bags Will Continue to Dominate, But Pouches Will Increase Market Share in Key Segments

Though bags will remain the most used type of flexible frozen food packaging due to their low cost and broad range of applications, pouches will post the faster gains as they continue to capture market share from bags and rigid containers. Stand-up pouches offer enhanced performance and visual appeal and are increasingly preferred in applications such as frozen entrées and meat, poultry, and seafood products due to their enhanced billboard space and visibility in store freezers.

Leading Frozen Meat, Poultry, & Seafood Segment Continues to Drive Market Growth

The meat, poultry, and seafood segment will remain the leading and fastest growing market for flexible frozen food packaging, bolstered by rising use of higher value products such as stand-up pouches and vacuum skin packaging in premium applications.

Healthy increases are also expected in applications such as frozen fruits, vegetables, and juices; frozen specialty foods; and frozen ice cream novelties – due in part to increasing adoption of higher value pouch packaging. For instance, in ready-to-heat frozen specialties and frozen vegetable applications, steamable stand-up pouches employing value-added venting technologies are increasingly used due to their enhanced convenience.

Sustainability Represents a Key Growth Area for Frozen Food Flexible Packaging Suppliers

Ongoing efforts by manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprints through source reduction will continue to drive the development of more sustainable packaging technologies, such as products based on recycled or degradable materials. Suppliers of bags, pouches, and plastic film used with frozen food packaging are increasingly investing in recycled, recyclable, and/or biodegradable materials (e.g., post-consumer recycled plastic, bioplastics) that help these companies – as well as their customers – meet sustainability goals.
