Sweetener Packaging - Demand and Sales Forecasts, Market Share, Market Size, Market Leaders

Study #: 4335 | Published: 12/2021 | Pages: 87 | Individual User License: US$ 2,900

Demand for sweeteners packaging was $460 million in 2020, which is higher than is typical, as consumers greatly increased their at-home cooking and baking during the COVID-19 pandemic. This spike in the retail market more than offset weakness in foodservice sales of sweeteners and associated packaging. Though demand for sweeteners packaging is expected to fall from this high in 2021, it will return to gradual growth and forecast to be $455 million in 2025. 

Prior to 2020, demand growth for sweeteners packaging was relatively slow due to the maturity of the sweeteners market. However, this continues to be a dynamic packaging market due to:

  • the popularity of organic, alternative, and premium sweeteners, which boost market value since they tend to use more expensive packaging
  • continued materials competition, with plastic packaging taking market share away from both paper and glass packaging in many areas
  • consumer demand for convenience, which drives demand for packaging – such as stand-up pouches – with value-added features

Pouches To Be the Most Used & Fastest Growing Packaging Format Due to Versatility

Pouches of various types are used in every dry sweetener application due to the advantages they offer over other packaging formats:

  • Stand-up pouches see use with sugar and sugar substitutes due to their puncture-resistance premium image compared to paper bags.
  • Single-serve paper packets are used in the same applications because of the convenience they provide in sweetening beverages like coffee and tea, and they will see above-average gains as food service sweetener usage rebounds post-lockdowns.
  • Pillow pouches will continue to see widespread use due to their low cost and light weight, although market maturity and competition from other formats will lower growth prospects.

Plastic Bottles to See Above Average Growth Due to New Applications

Plastic bottles have historically been used for packaging liquid sweeteners such as syrups and honey, where they consistently take market share from glass and metal. Going forward, demand will be further boosted by the expansion of plastic bottles into dry sweeteners like granulated sugar. Not only do plastic bottles offer performance and convenience advantages, they also provide product differentiation and help to “de-commodify” sugar with their more modern design.

Plastic Packaging Continues to Take Share from Paper & Paperboard

Historically, dry sweetener packaging has been the domain of paper and paperboard thanks to the popularity of paper bags, folding cartons, and composite cans. However, plastic is now the most used and fastest growing material, owing to the popularity of stand-up pouches and bottles that offer performance advantages over traditional paper packaging.
