Demand for stand-up pouches is forecast to increase 6.0% per year to $3.2 billion, equivalent to 19.1 billion units, in 2024. Demand will expand quickly in nearly all major food and nonfood markets, as stand-up pouches continue to take market share away from rigid packaging and other types of flexible packaging based on their:
Round-bottom (also known as Doyen or Doypack) pouches will remain the most commonly used stand-up pouch type, accounting for over 60% of demand in 2024. These pouches will continue to find opportunities for market penetration in applications where ease of use and transport, built-in spouts, and/or enhanced shelf appeal are especially important, including alcoholic beverages, consumer soaps, and sauces and condiments.
Strong increases are expected for K-seal pouches – especially with heavier liquids such as hand soaps and wet soups – and for corner-bottom pouches, particularly in applications such as frozen desserts and lawn and garden products.
Stand-up pouches – particularly spouted and inverted types – are gaining a wider presence among retail sauces and condiments, with a number of introductions by major brands in recent years. Condiments such as mayonnaise, honey, peanut butter, barbecue sauce, and guacamole spreads, for example, are increasingly packaged in inverted pouches such as Glenroy’s STANDCAP pouch.
Nonfood markets will also see fast increases in stand-up pouch use, particularly in applications that benefit from the use of spouted types. Growth opportunities exist in refill pouches for hand soaps and other cleaning and personal care products, motor oils, and topical and liquid pharmaceuticals.
While decelerating slightly in 2020 amid the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, sales of stand-up pouches are not expected to see the declines felt in many other industries. Demand will continue to be supported by their widespread use with essential items such as food, beverages, and pet food, and by their expanding presence in household cleaning supplies, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals.
