As Quoted In Flexible Packaging

Growth will be driven by consumer and producer preferences for stand-up pouches over more traditional rigid packaging, and by the adoption of pouches with higher value features in developed markets.

World demand to rise 6.2% annually through 2018

Global demand for pouches is projected to rise 6.2 percent annually to $37.3 billion in 2018. Growth will be driven by consumer and producer preferences for stand-up pouches over more traditional rigid packaging. The adoption of pouches with higher value features in developed markets -- such as the US, Canada, Western Europe, and Japan -- will support gains in dollar terms. Faster growth is expected in China and other developing nations, where rising personal incomes coupled with expanding production of packaged goods will promote higher demand for pouches.

Stand-up pouches to be fastest growing product

Stand-up pouches will show the best growth prospects through 2018, although flat pouches will continue to account for the majority of the market. Stand-up pouches offer a number of benefits. Consumers are drawn to the aesthetic appeal and convenience of pouches with value added features such as spouts, zippers, or handles. The lighter weight, reduced material use, and lower shipping cost of stand-up pouches relative to rigid packaging also benefit producers of packaged goods. The increasing use of stand-up pouch packaging machinery for captive production will also support greater use of these products. Among flat pouches, four-side-seal pouches are expected to post the fastest gains, particularly in developing areas. Four-side-seal pouches have the advantage of being less expensive than pillow or stand-up pouches and are generally used under a broader range of conditions than three-side-seal pouches.

Asia/Pacific region to show fastest market gains

The Asia/Pacific region is expected to show the largest gains in pouch demand through 2018. Rapid increases in the output of packaged food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, coupled with a greater emphasis on convenient, eye-catching packaging, will support strong gains in pouch demand. The more affluent countries in the region -- such as Japan and South Korea -- were relatively early users of pouches over bags and rigid packaging; however, the strongest growth is expected in developing nations such as China, Thailand, and India. Gains in other industrializing regions -- Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and the Africa/Mideast region -- will be faster than those expected in North America and Western Europe. Advances will be aided by a lower installed base of rigid packaging equipment in developing regions, as the presence of such equipment in developed countries increases competition for pouches and can hinder investment in pouch packaging machinery.
