Alcohol Packaging Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Product (Cans, Kegs, Jars, Bag-in-box, Growlers, Corrugated Boxes, Bottles, Cartons and Other Products), Material (Metal, Glass, Plastic, Paper and Other Materials), Packaging, End User and By GeographyAccording to Stratistics MRC, the Global Alcohol Packaging Market is accounted for $12.45 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $20.39 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. The design of the alcohol package is important for a particular product and brand. Manufacturers of alcoholic drinks are adamant about upholding the highest packaging standards for their goods in order to persuade customers to choose their brand over a rival. Items may be utilised to communicate with consumers by offering them textual product facts, in addition to being easier for customers to hold and more attractive.

According to the study conducted by Lancet, alcohol per-capita consumption increased from 5•9 liters in 1990 to 6•5 liters in 2017 globally.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increase in consumption of luxury alcohol

Among the primary variables influencing the use of premium and luxury alcohol in modern culture are the growth in spending on social events like parties and the rise in consumer disposable income in emerging nations. Alcohol use has become socially acceptable and normalised in today's culture, and it is commonplace at social events, nightclubs, lounges, and casual outings. More than any other generation, millennials are currently exposed to alcohol use. As a result, the market for alcohol packaging is being driven by an increase in demand for alcoholic drinks.

Restraint:

Strict regulations

Government rules that are strict on the use of potentially dangerous and non-biodegradable items have restricted the producers to a small number of packaging options. When packaging is disposed of in landfills, especially when it is composed of plastic, chemicals from the packaging materials, such as inks and colours from labelling, can leak into the groundwater and soil. These environmental issues have limited the raw materials available to package makers, which is impeding the expansion of the industry.

Opportunity:

Proliferating online business

Factors like increasing westernization, modernization, urbanization, an ever-rising global population, and rising personal disposable income are some of the indirect factors that are also expected to promote the alcoholic beverage packaging market growth rate. This is especially true of the e-commerce industry, which is expanding, especially in developing economies. Long-term market expansion for alcoholic beverage packaging may be facilitated by customers being more aware of the brands.

Threat:

High cost of sustainable packaging

Considering the health and environmental risks associated with the usage of synthetic polymers, consumers want sustainable alternatives for alcohol packaging. While alcohol packaging businesses work to protect the quality and safety of their goods using the resources they have at their disposal, the sustainability issue raises production costs overall and has an impact on overall profitability. Sales might be impacted by the final packaging's rising cost. As a result, this dual problem puts pressure on businesses to strike a balance between various aspects of sustainability and cost control.

Covid-19 Impact

The alcohol packaging industry has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the limitations placed on public gatherings, parties, restaurants, etc., the pandemic has had a huge impact on the market for alcohol packaging. The epidemic has long since halted manufacturers' production efforts. However, due to the loosening of limitations worldwide, the market for alcohol packaging has already begun to function at full capacity.

The glass segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The glass segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Glass may be recycled 100 % without losing its strength or quality. Most used glass bottles are turned into raw materials for making new ones. Due to its capacity to maintain the flavour and quality of the product, glass bottles have long been the preferred choice in the alcohol sector. Glass bottles are a non-reactive substance that do not alter the flavour of the alcoholic beverage, in contrast to plastic or metal containers. The market is growing rapidly since it preserves the quality, purity, and flavour of everything that is kept inside of them.

The un-distilled beverages segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The un-distilled beverages segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Beer is among the oldest and most widely consumed non-distilled alcoholic drinks. Among millennials, beer is a common party beverage and an essential part of the feast that fosters social group bonding. Beer is higher in proteins, vitamins B, and antioxidants than any other alcoholic beverage. According on the brand and recipe, the alcohol percentage of beers can range from less than 3% to 40% by volume. Due to rising market demand from consumers who are more health aware, the sector has experienced an increase in the sale of low-alcohol beers.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Improved and cutting-edge solutions are being provided by countries like Australia and India to enhance the beverage packaging sector. This is due to the increasing propensity for alcoholic drinks among the older and younger populations in these nations. Market participants in this area are also increasing their investments and expansion activities in order to swiftly speed up their operations and satisfy the increasing demand for alcoholic drinks.

Region with highest CAGR:

Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Beer with flavours has become one of the most popular premium drinks in Europe. Additionally, during the course of the study period, substantial prospects for market expansion are anticipated to be generated by the rising use of luxury alcoholic drinks like French Beer and Whisky. The market in the area is probably going to grow as a result of innovations in product design upgrades.
